review
discography
Rawhypnols was formed in Norrköping, Sweden back in 2002. The first demo recording received great reviews and radio stations discovered the act. The band played major festivals like Kalasturnén and Storsjöyran in Sweden even before they had released an official release. In 2004 Rawhypnols decided to enter the studio once again, this time with a rare sound compact as a knuckle between your eyes. That recording resulted in a full-length album and Rawhypnols decided to co-operate with the Italian record label Nicotine Records. The long awaited debut album Molotov Cocktail was released in late 2004 and dealt with issues like nudity, drugs and other normal stuff.
To support the record the band went out for two European tours in 2005. They did numerous shows at clubs and festivals in Italy, The Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. Now it’s 2007 and Rawhypnols are back with a vengeance with their second full-length album Thank God We’re Not Religious. The revelation over the lack of religious beliefs has made them even happier, meaner and more convinced to show the world how fun it is to be a lost soul. Stefan Brändström (Henry Fiats Open Sore) at the Dustward in Stockholm, Sweden has produced the album. The Italian label Nicotine Records, the same label that gave you the snotty debut album, releases the record.
Among Rawhypnols musical influences you will find everything between Hank Williams to Slayer. The lyrics will again tell nail-biting stories about a promiscuous life at the dark side of the spoon. The brand new album is released the 4th of May 2007 and contains 13 tracks of blasphemy, weirdness and a huge portion of irony. If you can listen to infectious songs like Viagra Falls and Opium Eyes and not find your foot tapping after the first chorus - than you're already dead and just don’t know it. Ladies and gentlemen, geeks and whores, prepare yourself. Soon in your local record joint – Thank God We’re Not Religious.
