So been there, done that?
"Why the high marks", you ask?
Because Iron Fist play with reckless abandon. They play with the exuberance of early Exodus and the first Suicidal Tendencies release.
It's a wreckwave of mayhem that just runs over you.
It is as if Dr Rock (no relation that I am aware of to [url= http://metalstorm.net/users/Doc+Godin/profile]Doc Godin[/url], who used to go by that name), Rick Overkill and the boys take the finest essences of Motörhead (as if the band didn't drop enough clues that they dig Lemmy and co.), Bonded By Blood, The Sex Pistols bombast, latter-day
The result is four fast tracks of spastic, sloppy, direct, violently energetic chaos. Sure, they slow down to half speed for a solo in the opening track, "H.P.R.R." for about 30 seconds, but that gives way to e-chugging reminiscent of the intro to Slayer's "Black Magic", and their off again, only relenting when the e.p. comes to a close.
Speaking of Slayer, one of the solos on the final track, "R 'n' R Patrol" sounds like the guitarists was trying to channel the spirit of Jeff Hanneman in a peyote-induced trance.
So this album was created with such disregard for human safety that I cannot listen to it without fighting the urge to go [url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5AyS0W9wj0]full Cornholio mode[/url], pick up a bat, and just start running amok and smashing shit.
Enough words. Probably took you longer to read this than it will be to listen to the disasterpiece. Go to [url= https://discosmacarras.bandcamp.com/album/boneshaker-ep]bandcamp[/url] now.
They would have loved the eighties
