REVIEW: Byfist - Adrenalin (EP) Saba Records, 2002
7.5/10
Byfist - Adrenalin (EP) - cover art Byfist is an old-school metal band hailing out of Texas, USA, who have decided to show the Europeans once more that America is more than Limp Bizkit & Co. This four track cd contains metal that might as well have been done in Europe. The first track is pretty simple and basic heavy metal and while still enjoyable it is being followed by the Judas Priest sounding "Meltdown" and then a real masterpiece called "Left To Die" which is a wonderful pure thrash metal song á la Anthrax. The final song "Mary Celeste" is also a very nice one and I must say that this is one of the most impressive new American bands I have heard in a very long time. Byfist is also equipped with a talented singer named Vikk Real which should help in the quest to reach the top of the real American metal scene. If you enjoy old classic metal bands like Anthrax, Judas Priest, Agent Steel and Metal Church be sure to remember the name Byfist because we will surely hear a lot more from these guys in the future. Even though this is more of a demo recording than a real album the sound quality is very high and the production was handled by no others than David Wayne (Wayne, ex-Metal Church) and Joe Floyd (Warrior). Right now the band is recording their first full-length album which will hopefully be in the same vein and even better. Stand-out tracks: "Left To Die", "Mary Celeste".
