CD ReviewsThe Sound of Hardcore Nintendocore | 04/28/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Intense, heavy, and full of the attitude connoted with Raised Fist. This album sees real hardcore music take the flag back from the recent metalcore trend and stick it back where its meant to be, with massive riffs, unmistakable vocals, and pounding beats. Suffice it to say, i was very very impressed." Very Good CD D. Pape | Santa Barbara, CA | 08/19/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Thats because its not metal, its hardcore bro. But, to review this cd i would say that this a very good cd. It is nothing unexpected if you have followed raised fist for awhile. Very tight songwriting, nothing too complicated instrumentally, just good clean hardcore, but i would contend that the singer has one of the best voices in hardcore, it's not incomprehensible screams as some bands are prone to do. Its yelling with a message and definitely worth checking out. I have loved all of their cd's and this definitely did not disappoint." An Outsider's Perspective On Hardcore... Andrew H. Smith | Fayetteville, AR | 07/26/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Nowadays, when kids hear the term "hardcore" thrown around, they toss around names like Underoath or even worse, Atreyu; these sorts of bands have watered down the hardcore concept to appeal to the larger emo-kid crowd. Raised Fist's newest disc, Sound of the Republic, lends a European's perspective on the changing scene. The Swedish quartet's first album in four years proves to be a worthy sucessor to 2002's Dedication, which reminded us all what hardcore is all about - speed, ferocity, and social awareness. This time around, you can feel more of a metal influence, which only re-enforces their tenacious song writing skills. Most importantly, though, SOTR revives the spirit of old-school hardcore, bands like Sick of It All and Agnostic Front, to remind us that this "emo-hardcore" phase is nothing but a passing fad."
