Fist was one of those lesser known NWOBHM bands whose reputation and influence never really pushed much beyond cult obsession.

The band’s Turn the Hell On debut still sounds great some thirty years later, particularly with this well-packaged Metal Mind reissue. Standing somewhere between Motorhead, Maiden and Mercyful Fate sonically, the Fist quartet possessed more songwriting chops than most, while also elevating these tracks with a heaping dose of energy and innocent, fire-driven aggression.

As a result, Turn the Hell On is an up-and-down joyride of vintage metal composition, taking great care in making sure each melodic element—whether vocal or string—is counterbalanced by an equal feeling of devil-may-care swagger.
