A four-piece metal band that is synonimous with heavy. They write music according to what they feel which, for the most part, is anger and rage, and fill the void with their own experiences and views of the world. Each song is different from the last, always adding more and more of the personality which makes up the quartet.Band/artist history

2006-Planning of Upraw's first album, TORMENT, featuring the songs The Devil's Influence, In My Mind and Misery Times Three, along with a lot of new, yet-to-be-heard stuff, to be released.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play mostly smaller venues at the moment but we do have experience in playing in bigger venues and we prefer a crowd of 10 people going crazy and enjoying themselves than a crowd of 1000 people who are just standing around looking blank and not into it at all.
