"Rawkfist" (pronounced "rock fist") is a 2003 single[1] from the Canadian group Thousand Foot Krutch.[2] It is the fifth track from their second album (first album with Tooth & Nail Records) Phenomenon. ESPN Sports Center chose it to be played in the Ultimate Highlight sequences on their program. It was featured on the Smallville season 3 episode titled "Velocity".[3]


Style

"Rawkfist" is a hard rock song with edgy guitar and bass. The past rap influence on TFK's songs is evident as the lyrics are rapped as much as sang.[4]

Music video

The music video for the song features the band performing beneath a freeway overpass with unique special effects, such as Jamie Aplin's hand freezing when the music stops and starts moving again after vocals come in. Also the area around the band will change from a bright room to a dark blue tunnel. The change is initiated by a flash of light emitted from McNevan's hand.[4]

Personnel

Although the guitar credits go to McNevan on the recording, the song's music video features the band's touring guitarist.
