Black Fast Premiere New Music Video “Phantom I Am”
Black Fast‘s “Phantom I Am” is the latest track to receive an official music video from their newly released effort, “Spectre Of Ruin“. The group's guitarist/vocalist Aaron Akin said of this latest single:
“This track has some really dark and unique progressions, an interesting overall arrangement and a ripper solo. It’s one of the songs that asks for the most repeat listens. Lyrically it sums up the overall theme and vibe of this record. Doused in the adipocere of extinction, the scorched husk peels, and the insect sings.”
Black Fast kicked off this U.S. tour with Ringworm and Cemetery Piss yesterday: More...

Black Fast Covers Thin Lizzy
St. Louis metal act Black Fast just released a cover of “Thunder and Lightning,” the classic Thin Lizzy track from 1983 album of the same name. Check it out below.
“Thin Lizzy is my favorite band," says frontman and guitarist Aaron Akin. "I have this double live album they recorded on their last tour called 'Life' that starts with this song. You can hear the crowd, imagine them walking out onstage and going right into this track. Sadly 'Thunder and Lightning' was the last Thin Lizzy record, Phil died a few short years after its release."
He goes on tosay, "It oozes cool, as he did. And the John Sykes guitar solo! I had to call on one of my best buds Reece Scruggs (Havok / Century Media Records) to step up and let one rip for us and he absolutely nailed it. I think this fucker landed pretty cool. Its dangerous. it's streetlights and leather. It's a switchblade." More...
