I feel this record reflects more of our personal influences from shit like Darkthrone to Elder, Orange Goblin to Uada. Musically I feel it&#8217;s a step away from the &#8216;stoner doom&#8217; label we found ourselves with, something we&#8217;ve never considered ourselves to be, in our eyes we&#8217;re a heavy metal, rock n roll band who listen to a fair bit of Black Metal and Punk. This is really reflecting in the songs on this record from ferocious black metal kicking your head in to chilled psyched out bits that make you feel like you&#8217;re fucking floating or something.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"yiv1214431448\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"yiv1214431448MsoNoSpacing\" align=\"center\"><span class=\"yiv1214431448\" style=\"font-family: Franklin Gothic Book, sans-serif;\"><span class=\"yiv1214431448\">Formed in late 2013\u00a0Pist\u00a0have since released an EP and album chock-full of NOLA-influenced, Southern-tinged heavy rock whilst traveling the UK playing gigs, festivals and drinking beer.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"yiv1214431448\">Both long out of print on CD, APF re-released 2014\u2019s \u201cRiffology\u201d EP and 2015\u2019s \u201cRhythm &amp; Booze\u201d album on one disc under the title \u201c68 OFO\u201d in March 2018 with new artwork by Dominic Sohor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1214431448MsoNoSpacing\"><span class=\"yiv1214431448\" style=\"font-family: Franklin Gothic Book, sans-serif;\"><span class=\"yiv1214431448\">As with their debut EP and\u00a0previous\u00a0album, \u2018Hailz\u2019\u00a0was recorded with Chris Fielding (Conan, Witchsorrow, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard),\u00a0this time over at Foel studio.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1214431448MsoNoSpacing\"><span class=\"yiv1214431448\" style=\"font-family: Franklin Gothic Book, sans-serif;\"><span class=\"yiv1214431448\">Only 2 years after\u00a0starting out Pist had already supported Orange Goblin and Raging Speedhorn, toured with Ten Foot Wizard and Widows and come to the attention of Simon Hall at Bloodstock Open Air Festival who booked them to perform on Bloodstock\u2019s the Sophie Lancaster Stage in August of 2015.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"yiv1214431448\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1214431448MsoNoSpacing\"><span class=\"yiv1214431448\">During the six years since their formation Pist has also supported Napalm Death, Church Of Misery, Monolord, OHHMS and Dopethrone and played at Mammothfest, \u2018Kinhellfest, Red Sun Festival, Hard Rock Hell and Hammerfest (twice).
