Raised Fist

Raised Fist are one of Sweden’s most influential and uncompromising bands. Since
emerging from Luleå, close to the Arctic Circle, in the early ’90s, they have built a global
reputation through explosive live performances, politically charged lyrics and an
intensity few bands can match.
With landmark albums such as Ignoring the Guidelines, Dedication and Veil of
Ignorance, Raised Fist became a defining force in modern European hardcore, inspiring
generations of bands while building a fiercely loyal international following. Their
signature blend of hardcore, metal and punk combines groove-heavy riffs, crushing
dynamics and raw urgency, creating a sound that has remained both relevant and
relentless for more than three decades.
On stage, Raised Fist have earned legendary status. Known for chaotic energy and an
unmatched connection with their audience, the band have shared stages with some of
the biggest names in heavy music and appeared at major festivals across the world,
including Soundwave, Summer Breeze and Hellfest.
When Anthems was released, the world shut down just two months later. The global
pandemic abruptly cut short the band's European headline tour, leaving unfinished
business across the continent. Since then, Raised Fist have limited their appearances to
shorter tours and selective sold-out shows, making every performance a rare event.
Now, the wait is over.
As the final chapter of the Anthems album cycle, Raised Fist return to Europe for their
first full headline tour in years, to finish what was started.
