I love the band since I heard the "Lead Weight" compilation at a friend, on which they are appearing twice (the other one is as AXE). Keith had not just a unique voice but he was also a great songwriter (including his lyrics). Thanks to Jess Cox I was able to visit him in his house (see photo). He was such a great guy! Unfortunately there´s not very much music out there from him (FIST went on with the singer from Hollow Ground for another album) and I missed their show at Headbangers Open Air as I was not aware of this festival yet back in 2004. RIP...and in NWOBHM fan circles the usual "His music lives on" is reality.
PS: In case you are not too happy with the MCA album, their debut, please check out the double CD from Sanctuary Records for more raw sounding versions of most of these great songs on CD 2. Also available on vinyl, I think through Back On Black.

The sun will never reach the sky
When the eternal winter comes
There will be neither men nor gods
As the world lies under snow and ice Eternal Winter NECROPHOBIC
