'''Raise Hell''' is a Swedish [thrash metal](/source/thrash_metal) band from [Stockholm](/source/Stockholm), Sweden. The group changed names several times in their early history; their first demo, 1997's ''Nailed'', was released under the name In Cold Blood, a name they abandoned for Raise Hell after signing with [Nuclear Blast](/source/Nuclear_Blast)—which they did while still in their teens. After the album's release the group toured Europe with [Dismember](/source/Dismember_(band)), [Children of Bodom](/source/Children_of_Bodom), and others.<ref name=amg>[{{Allmusic|class=artist|id=p352643|pure_url=yes}} Raise Hell] at [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic)</ref> Their second album, ''Not Dead Yet'', was released in 1999 and produced by [Anders Fridén](/source/Anders_Frid%C3%A9n) (of [In Flames](/source/In_Flames)), and was followed by a tour with [Destruction](/source/Destruction_(band)).<ref name=amg/> After further touring and appearances at the [Wacken Open Air](/source/Wacken_Open_Air) festival, the group returned to the studio in 2002 for ''Wicked Is My Game''. Guitarist Jonas von Wowern (Nilsson) did the vocals for the first three albums. In 2002 Jimmy Fjällendahl joined the band as vocalist, so Jonas could focus on playing guitar. The group signed with [Black Lodge Records](/source/Black_Lodge_Records) in 2004; ''City of the Damned'' followed in 2006, and another tour of Europe with [Necrophobic](/source/Necrophobic) and [Origin Blood](/source/Origin_Blood) followed later that year.<ref>[http://www.musicmight.com/linkto/artist/{8CFD59BA-DB69-4F5A-B2F8-76B1BDD]{{dead link|date=April 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
