RAISED FIST (SWE)
Raised Fist is a Swedish hardcore band formed in 1993. The name “Raised Fist” came as an idea from the Rage Against the Machine song “Know Your Enemy”, where part of the lyrics are as follows: “Born with an insight and a raised fist…” The band has become more successful over the years, with its aggressive music and vocals. Every new album seemed to have an even harder edge than its predecessor. “They can’t keep us down! Still around! Adding something new to the sound!” So the battle cry goes up on Raised Fist’s stunning fifth full-length Veil Of Ignorance. Picking up where 2006’s powerful Sound Of The Republic left off, and tearing at your ears like a rabid pitbull on steroids, the Lulea, Sweden quintet are in suitably defiant form after over a decade and a half thrilling audiences around the globe.
