Skull Fist Songs Ranked
Skull Fist is a Canadian heavy metal band formed in Toronto. Skull Fist was founded in 2006 by guitarist/singer Zach Slaughter in Toronto. The band released a two-song demo in 2006 titled No False Metal which included the tracks “Ride The Beast” and “No False Metal”. The band has seen many lineup changes with many different musicians stepping in for a few weeks at a time from 2006 to 2010 leaving Slaughter the sole consistent member and many musicians coming and going on a regular basis. Slaughter released the Heavier than Metal EP with “Alison Thunderland” on drums and “Sir Shred” on second guitar in 2010 to a very positive response in the metal community and later signed to Noise Art Records shortly after. For the EP release, the band completed two tours across Canada, the Metal Assault festival in Europe along with a tour in January 2011 through Europe. Afterwards they played Up the Hammers Festival in Greece and toured with Bullet and Enforcer in April 2011. Alison and Shred left the band due to personal conflicts. Casey Slade joined the band shortly after the EP was recorded, who had actually replaced Jonny Nesta who was filling in on bass until Slaughter settled on a permanent member. Nesta then joined Skull Fist on guitar which saw the release of the first Skull Fist album Head of the Pack. It was released August 26, 2011. After the release of the album Jake Purchase was added to the band and another Canada tour was done along with the power of metal tour with Sabaton and Grave Digger. The album has received great reviews across the globe which led them to another European tour with Grand Magus, Bullet, Steel Wing and Vanderbuyst. The summer of 2012 saw the band sharing the stage with Megadeth, W.A.S.P., and Uriah Heep for The Rock the Nation touring festival event “Metal Fest 2012”. Jake Purchase left and was replaced with Chris Steve. This was followed by a tour in Japan with Solitude and featured a gig with Japanese black/thrash act Sabbat, another Canadian tour and a tour through Brazil. The release of the second album for 2013 was postponed by a lack of funding and then postponed yet again after Slaughter broke his neck and other bones in a skateboarding accident.

4. Head of the Pack (Head of the Pack, 2011)
“Skull Fist! Cool name. Cool guys and cool music. They got the young energy this new wave metal bands show us, and it is alot of fun listening to it. I nod my head super fast (head banging takes too much time for this sound) to the almost speed metal tunes, and to me Skull Fist reminds me of the old, also canadian band, “Killer dwarfs” but with less sleezy and more speed to the heavy metal.”
3. Heavier Than Metal (Heavier Than Metal, 2010)
“Love how Zach changed his singing pitch to a more comfortable place so he can deliver the same thing live while playing guitar. Still amazing tho. Keep rocking! This band deserve more recognition!”
2. Hour to Live (Chasing The Dream, 2014)
“When we first heard this, it was as though you found our pleasure zone. This song massages the throat and the bottom of the tailbone simultaneously until the inevitable. Everyone’s inevitable is different, obviously, but ours was savage ejaculate”
1. Get Fisted (Head of the Pack, 2011)
“This is a top 10 speed metal song. Awesome instrumental section, almost 2 min long. Cool riff and chorus. They’ve got a hell of a guitarist. The bass is awesome as well!
