Lead as always by grand visionary and songwriter Erik Svarte, on Raspberry Dawn, Okkultokrati thrust the heretic rock and roll that they have cultivated since their 2008 inception into more extraordinary situations. Classic 70's riffing, snotty punk, and brash old school metal are inventively mixed with pulses and spikes of dark wave and ice cold, psychedelic repetition. Erik Svarte's electric guitars are run through high power fuzz mechanisms that rattle and roar like powerful engines. Vocalist Henning's hoarse snarls and cries take on many forms but retaining an audible link to metal with their prickly delivery, phrased in triumphant catchy guises. An instant example of this is heard on the title track; a glorious rock'n'roll anthem celebrating the bad boys of rock and roll such as Iggy Pop, the Ramones and Alan Vega. The fresh addition of synth player Feffe Severin on Raspberry Dawn allows Okkultokrati to fully expand in to their new stage, where nothing and everything is sacred. Adding organ touches, violent slaps of static, and blown out sci-fi overtures to the Okkultokrati collective, Severin compliments perfectly the band's pre-existing taste for the curious and the macabre, amping up both the drama and the feel good extremes that they have always lathered their sound in.
