Editor's note

Raise Hell's dark metal rode through Los Angeles

A late-80s trio whose aggressive stage shows and blues-metal sound drew accusations of Satanism.

If you want to hear what they were about, put on 'Bulls on parade' or 'Down rodeo.' That's the sound of a band not asking permission.

Raise Hell mattered because they didn't just play metal, they lived it. Songs like 'Bulls on parade' and 'Down rodeo' became anthems for a scene that wanted its darkness loud and unapologetic. Their reputation for intense performances and lyrical themes that flirted with the occult made them more than just another band from LA.

They started as a trio in late-80s Los Angeles with Snake Charming, Angel Eyes, and Preacher. After their 1991 debut 'Snakecharmer,' they put out albums like 'Hellfire' and 'Damnation' while weathering lineup changes and building their reputation. By the time 'Ashes' arrived in 1997, their sound had settled into a mix of heavy metal, blues, and Eastern touches.

Archive material and source history

Raise Hell formed in Los Angeles in the late 1980s as a trio with vocalist and guitarist Snake Charming, bassist Angel Eyes, and drummer Preacher. Their debut album 'Snakecharmer' came out in 1991, featuring the title track that became a staple of their sound. They followed it with albums like 'Hellfire' in 1993 and 'Damnation' in 1995.

Angel Eyes left the band in 1995, replaced by guitarist Damien. Their songs included 'Down rodeo' and 'Bulls on parade', and they developed a reputation for aggressive stage shows and dark lyrical themes. Some of their material drew accusations of Satanism, which they didn't shy away from.

They released 'Ashes' in 1997. Their music pulled from heavy metal and blues, with some Eastern influences in the mix. The band's lineup changes and the intensity of their performances became part of their story in the metal scene.
