Holy shit this album rules! Think The Fucking Champs meets the soundtrack to Rocky IV. Already being hailed in some circles as "the greatest instrumental metal band in America," Nightfist was birthed in Menlo Park, CA by five young men with mutual obsessions for triumphant melodies, complex rhythms, and chugging dual guitar riffage, who were hell-bent on traveling at lightspeed back to a time when people lived and died by the sword. They are not ironic. They listen to copious amounts of Yes, Queen, Metallica, and Dream Theater. Standing strong and hard against any and all bands they are influenced by, Nightfist have pushed the whole game back. Fuck this looking to the future shit. Tonight, we go back in time.
