Upraw
About Upraw from Auckland
Definition of UPRAW: (1) A raw outburst/storm of dark emotion, particularly anger/rage/fury/etc. (2) An 8-legged demon of Torment and Hatred(3) Heavy metal band made up of four members that, because of the nature of things, can fall under the following: anger/despair/hatred/other associated forms of dark emotion(see The Human Condition and Existence)
UPRAW are simply Heavy. Since their humble beginnings, UPRAW have come a long way and seen a lot of hard times. But with each obstacle, they rose to the challenge and came out better and more determined than ever to bring their brand of metal to the masses. A brand that shows only the cold, hard truth in all it's furious glory, without dressing it up.
UPRAW have now started redefining their sound into something darker, heavier and altogether more brutal than anything they have done thus far. As always, the themes are real and totally hard-hitting, coming from several lifetimes of shared experiences. If people take something away with them or feel a connection or kinship with UPRAW after hearing their songs, that is always a big compliment in itself for the band. But, when playing live, all UPRAW cares about is bringing a whole other level of intensity and energy to the Raw Collective and the entirety of their fellow brothers and sisters in Metal, and extolling the virtues of 'having some fun in the here-and-now' because they don't like to be seen as anything bigger than the fans purely because they are right there in the pit and on the level with the fans, always. Their mission is simple. Cause an Upraw in as brutal a way as possible wherever they go and in whatever they do, and have fun while doing it! In saying that, Stay Heavy to all, and to all, STAY HEAVY!!
