New wave of Canadian heavy/speed metal

Those are the 4 bands i have been listening to non-stop lately

Which one gets your vote?

I voted striker.

Striker for me.

Skull Fist is quite excellent too, however I only have one album from them (a situation that will soon be resolved), so it's kinda hard to fully judge.

Cauldron started out strong, but they've been in a bit of a slump lately. The last album was kinda dull and the one before that hasn't had much staying power either.

3IoB never clicked with me. I couldn't take the harsh vocals.

Gilbert, check out fellow Canucks AXXION. Similar style of their Canadian brethren...

I love all of these bands, but I think Striker is probably my favorite.

In case you wanted to know what Cauldron would sound like with Striker's vocalist then here you go:

Axxion!! That's my vote! But If I had to pick from those 4 then Cauldron.

Black Moor is another Canadian band you might want to check out if you like this style.

Never heard of axxion. Thanks for the tip!

I like all these but Striker gets my vote. They've consistently released great albums. I really like Cauldrons first album but they sound too samey to me anymore.

I'm too unfamiliar with any of these bands to vote. What I have heard however, I've liked, especially Striker.

All these bands are really good!! Striker are the most consistent of the 4. They get my vote.

As RF said, I'd second Black Moor. They're a really solid band. I have their album from last year, Brave to the Grave, and I really like it.

But of the bands listed, my favorite is probably Cauldron. I like 3IoB's first album and their last one a lot. And I haven't heard Skull Fist or Striker.

I have been spinning striker 's armed to the teeth album for the last three days. It may be their best.

I went with Skullfist, but its a tossup between them and Striker.

I went with Skullfist too, no question.

I was listening to 3 Inches this morning though and thinking about how much I miss them. Aside from Fire Up the Blades, I loved all their albums. Blades wasn't even bad or anything, just didn't click with me the way the others did.

After they disbanded, did any of the members of 3 Inches of Blood do anything else? Seems like they all dropped off the map. Musically-speaking anyway.

Three of the band members have formed a new band - Worse - and have issued a demo:

It sounds nothing like 3IOB.

Woof! It's Worse alright. No thanks.

Striker for me.



If only for the extreme cheeseball awesome of this video

I honestly havent' heard enough of any of these bands to make a vote.

I've liked what I have heard from Striker and Skull Fist enough that both are on my "list" to investigate further at a later date, I just haven't gotten round to it.

3 Inches of Blood did nothin' for me. I reviewed one of their albums (I believe it was "Advance & Vanquish") for my buddy's e-zine years back and the high shrieky monkey squealin' vocals killed it for me.

Don't think I've ever heard Cauldron.

How about Black Moor? Another killer Canuck heavy/speed band.

Of those four, I think I'd go with 3 Inches of Blood, but I love all four.
