Rawkfist was a symphonic metal band from Schwabach in Middle Franconia .
history
The band was founded in 2006 and after a short time gained their first live experience in southern Germany. In 2007 the five released their debut album Stories with ten stylistically varied songs. The self-produced and distributed CD sold over 500 copies within a short period of time. In 2009 Rawkfist released their second album, Gardens of Elysia , through Danse Macabre . The band has been under contract with Black Bards Entertainment since December 2009. Appearances were made throughout Germany and neighboring countries. One of the highlights of 2009 was the appearance at the Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig. The third album, Chryseus , was recorded in late 2010. This time Olaf Reitmeier (Gate Studio, Wolfsburg) took care of the mix and mastering. It will be released on March 4, 2011 via Black Bards. On August 3, 2011, the band split due to internal difficulties.
Since November 2011 there is the follow-up project of the singer Sabine under the name Xiphea with a new line-up. Since January 2015 there is the new project Visionatica by ex-Rawkfist guitarist Manuel.
