On 'Raspberry Dawn', OKKULTOKRATI thrusts the heretic rock and roll that it has cultivated since its 2008 inception into more extraordinary situations. Classic '70s riffing, snotty punk and brash old-school metal are inventively mixed with pulses and spikes of darkwave and ice cold, psychedelic repetition. The musicians execute these infectious tunes effortlessly, playing with the attitude retained from their roots in rural hard rock and busting a propulsive stomp that aligns them closer to the clarity of recordings from decades past, also exemplified by spring reverb twangs that ping across the mix like rubber bands.
