Source-derived summary

Nicolò Arquilla (born 23 April 1987), better known as Raizhell (pronounced "Raise Hell") and formerly known as Razihel, is an Italian electronic music producer known for his releases on the Canadian-based record label Monstercat. Prior to his solo music career, Arquilla was the lead vocalist for the Italian post-hardcore band Hopes Die Last. Arquilla is also a member of the pop-punk duo Streex.

Early life

Raizhell was born Nicolò Arquilla.

Career

As Razihel

In 2012, Razihel self-released a song called "Fireflies (God Knows)". The song was negatively remarked for its song structure having similarities to Skrillex's "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" despite the sounds, per se, being his.

In February 2013, Razihel collaborated with Norwegian electronic music producer Savant to produce "Light Years", which was regarded for its "crisp vocals and beautiful intricate melodies". Three months later, Razihel collaborated with Varien to release "Toothless Hawkins (And His Robot Jazz Band)" on Monstercat. This glitch hop track combined electronic music with "an ample dose of swing" from "old school jazz". Five days later, Razihel released another dubstep track called "Homesick" on NoCopyrightSounds.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as italian DJ and music producer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19666299. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987, 2012 and 2013.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
