│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ When we are dealing with Heavy Metal bands, we must focus ║ │
│║ on 4 different branches: ║ │
│║ - Traditional Heavy Metal from NWOBHM (from bands as IRON ║ │
│║ MAIDEN and SAXON); ║ │
│║ - The German traditional Heavy Metal (as ACCEPT); ║ │
│║ - The USA traditional Heavy Metal (band as LIZZY BORDEN and ║ │
│║ OMEN); ║ │
│║ - The modern traditional Heavy Metal (as JUDAS PRIEST on ║ │
│║ "Painkiller" era, NEVERMORE and METAL CHURCH). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So, stating these branches is an obligation to understand ║ │
│║ the concepts I (and many other writers) use. So no, I can ║ │
│║ speak something about "Knock 'Em Outà With a Metal Fist". ║ │
│║ It's the second album from Australian quartet ELM STREET. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ First of all, I must say that these maniacs dare to mix the ║ │
│║ melodies and aggressiveness from modern traditional Heavy ║ │
│║ Metal with the heavy and grasping energy from Thrash Metal ║ │
│║ from bands as METALLICA and TESTAMENT. But the main feature ║ │
│║ is that they have a small scent that reminds us all from ║ │
│║ something of the past, without playing in an Old School ║ │
│║ way. It's aggressive and nasty, but melodic and hooking. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The sound quality is really excellent, because it united ║ │
│║ their musical aggressiveness with a clean outfit that is ║ │
│║ impressive. So their music sounds clear and extremely ║ │
│║ nasty, and the instrumental tunes were chosen wisely, ║ │
│║ because they are sounding heavy and thunderous, but without ║ │
│║ distorting the whole musical atmosphere. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Knock 'Em Outà With a Metal Fist" is an excellent album, ║ │
│║ turning the band's musical efforts in something strong, ║ │
│║ heavy and really fascinating. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As their best shots, we could name "Face the Reaper" (that ║ │
│║ starts melodic and tender, then becomes a storm of ║ │
│║ excellent guitar riffs and shrieked high pitch vocals), the ║ │
│║ heavy weight of the rhythmic session on the excellent "Kiss ║ │
│║ the Canvas", the enchanting aggressive tempos of "Will It ║ │
│║ Take a Lifetime?" (presenting an charming energy, and with ║ │
│║ a clear influence from Hard Rock/Heavy Metal from the 80s, ║ │
│║ especially due the hooking chorus), the whiplashing guitars ║ │
│║ on the savage and melodic "Sabbath", the abuse of weight ║ │
│║ shown on the slow tempos of "Next in Line" (with a very ║ │
│║ good work from bass guitar and drums once more, and again, ║ │
│║ an excellent chorus), the pounding and hooking energy ║ │
│║ coming from "Heart Racer" (with not so fast tempos, great ║ │
│║ vocals, and once more, a Hard Rock influence is present, ║ │
│║ especially due the guitar duets), and the long and full of ║ │
│║ harmonic variations and tempo changes called "Blood ║ │
│║ Diamond" (but keeping the hooking and melodic atmosphere). ║ │
│║ But the entire album is excellent. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It's a very good band, and it shows how much Australian ║ │
│║ Metal can offer to the world. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Lineup: ║ │
│║ Ben Batres û Vocals / Rhythm Guitars ║ │
│║ Aaron Adie - Lead Guitars ║ │
│║ Nick Ivkovic - Bass ║ │
│║ Tomislav Perkovic - Drums ║ │
