RAISE HELL
2000 - Not Dead Yet.
way more Helter Skelter.

May 2, 2000 - 2025: 25 years of: Not Dead Yet.

Very alive after a rockin' 90°

Swinging from 1998's blackmetal Holy Target CD ...to new rock-metal thrash. During a drift through the cold lake, Stockholm's RAISE HELL now sports a rebel sound with streetmetal attitude.

With rage, they "Dance With The Devil" and with pride, they are the "User Of Poison". Cool teenage angst with screeching vocals, still with "No Pulse" ...this crew is "Not Dead Yet". A brutal experiment.

Lighting the fire for all the "Babes", yet make no mistake, this exposé ain't commercial-rock, but darkened-thrash. The clever build-up for "Soulcollector" is a fine 6:33sec mix of both progressive and metal-mosh.

In cold blood, the evil ones challenged the scene and abandoned the sanguinary stud 'n leather outfits and embraced a more Americanized image. Keeping up the pace, the band would add more heaviness and release 2002's Wicked Is My Game CD.
