Brimstone Fist

Formed by William Wolfe in 1996 in Chattanooga, Tennessee under the original name Pagan Invader and releasing two demo cassettes under this name. During this time the band also featured drummer Mark Bridgman (R.I.P. November 2007). The name was later changed due to people assuming that the band was strictly a death metal band. Wolfe relocated to Japan and from 2000 to 2008 the band was called Diabolist , releasing one album featuring music recorded in Japan and America. Wolfe later relocated to Thailand and during the recording of what became the Brimstone Fist demo it was discovered that a band in the USA was using the name Diabolist , hence a name change was considered necessary. The name Brimstone Fist was taken from a song by the death metal band Usurper . Wolfe describes the band's style as "Hellmetal" due to the blending of doom metal and hard rock styles with more extreme thrash, black and death metal influences and lyrics focusing on Hell, Satanism, anti-religion, sex and horror themes. Ettichai Buagaew played session drums from June to August 2011, but he had to move out of Bangkok, thus ending his association with the project.
