RamTatTa - Raised Fist – From The North

Who likes to be yelled at? I, for example. When it’s done as wildly and shrill as with RAISED FIST, I even ask not to be spared. This is my first encounter with the Swedes in fifteen years, and the first one is still vividly in my memory: How the guys presented their hardcore gestures in the Aachen AZ with relentless, raging beat music, impressed me. The album that accompanied it was no less remarkable, with a bass that finally makes you hear that the strings are made of steel, the aforementioned raspy candidate at the microphone, and tempo, tempo until it flips. Meanwhile, quite a few years and albums have passed, the band has earned a proper status, and I am looking forward to reconnecting with an old acquaintance.

RAISED FIST has wisely retained the trademarks of their music, but some variations of the basic pattern have been added. Buzzing bass, chattering singer, crashing guitars, but there weren’t this many melodic anthems before. This sticks and must create a thick Hallelujah effect live, just without God and with a mosh pit. Punk rock pieces are also represented, and even the screaming transitions into something resembling singing, only to be drowned out again in the chorus. Overall, the voice in RAISED FIST has long been more of a rhythmic instrument, and accordingly, some pieces clearly move towards rapcore. Not funky, not groovy, but a nice change that builds up an exhilarating tension and releases it in walls of guitars. In the end, I probably got all the guitar strikes, all the breakdowns, and all the D-beats that make hardcore so captivating, delivered masterfully, and I can take off my headphones, sweaty and exhausted. What do I do now with all my broken furniture?
