FIST OF RAGE is an Italian hard rock band formed back in 2004. They cut their teeth in the first years by performing famous hard rock cover versions in the north-eastern part of Italy, in an energetic and positive style. The band was immediately considered a top-quality band by audiences, and this is the reason why this band has a considerable fans. Encouraged by the small but important successes, the band felt the need to compose original its own music. "Fist of Rage" is made up of: Piero Pattay vocalist, Davide Alessandrini and Marco Onofri on the guitars, Stefano Alessandrini on keyboards, Bruno Tagliapietra on bass guitar and Fabio Poian on drums. All six members of the band play theirs instrument to their full potential to try to produce a rich and powerful sound. Their name describes the philosophy of the band: away from commercial music and politics, the "Fist of Rage" are spokesperson of freedom, respect and love for the human race. Their lyrics talk about these concepts; they almost fight with modern day social-illnesses, such as money, power, heavy-handedness. They describe their inner feelings which are darkened by resignation and lack of logic in these times. The themes of the lyrics written by the front man Piero Pattay were a good reason to search for new overwhelming sounds, to create a good mix between old and modern sounds. In this way the band has found their present sound, powerful and easy to listen to.
