Skull Fist - Chasing The Dream

I've heard the first three tracks on this album, and so I have to say that this sounds really good. I'm a sucker for those vocals, and the production on this album is pretty damn fantastic. I liked Head of The Pack a lot, but this might be even better than that one. Let's see how this one ages.

Good album:necro:

Awesome

There are some weird effects on the vocals from what I've heard of the album so far. It's an odd choice, and not really one I like. However, it's still a pretty good album.

A very enjoyable catchy album, this band is tight and their playing is top-notch

This is let down by terrible vocals.

Vocalist is too gutless and irritating.

Shame as the actual music is pretty good.

Totally agreed with all points.

Wish there were more speedies and less rockies

Band has obviously been listening to a lot of 80s metal for inspiration, and there's a lot of proof in each of this album's nine songs. Nothing wrong with that though because instrumentation is very solid and catchy all the way through. The vocalist for me brings the quality down a notch or two, but I think you can get past that by considering how well done the solos are in songs such as the title track and "Sign of the warrior".

Really excited to see these guys live next year, from what I've seen they are a really awesome live band with a countless epic gigs all over the world. They play with an unmatching energy that seems to be feeding directly from the 80's and, if you ask me, that really can be felt on this record. Every song is really good and there are no dull moments whatsoever throughout this. It's quality Metal and a good lesson for all the young bands

Pretty great stuff. Plenty of rockin' tunes and I'm liking the vocals a lot even if they do sound "synthetic." This is some straightforward speed metal fury, and there's nothing wrong with that.

In some ways this is a good album, maybe even better than the 1st LP when it comes to overall quality of songs. But for me it's really hard to find some really strong tracks from this album, except for "Sign of the Warrior" which is an older song from their 2010 EP.

This has better production, same times I like debut (no not EP ) better in some way, but dont said this is bad, simply things from firts in better mix, but then I like that one better, why I dunno.

Same for me. I think they were more on the path of true steele on the 1st and here they tried to go more commercial. Works for some, didn't worked for me so much.
