Raised Fist
Sweden is well known for its music. In the 70s Swedish music was represented in the American mainstream by ABBA. By the turn of the century garage rock legends the Hives had sold out arenas and store shelves from their hometown of Fagersta, Sweden to Los Angeles, California. But since the mid-nineties there has been another Swedish rock group clamoring for your attention. They’re not like the Hives, and they’re nothing like ABBA.
Raised Fist is northern Europe’s premiere hardcore punk band, making it onto Burning Heart Records – a giant in European and international music. Though their touring and recording has been limited, Raised Fist has gained notoriety for their insanely raucous shows and searing-hot tracks. Blurring the line between hardcore and metal, Raised Fist is extremely well respected.
Their first major release in three years, “Veil of Ignorance”, will be hitting stores from Burning Heart Records this September.
