The band was founded by George Burdi using the pseudonym George Eric Hawthorne. Burdi was a white racialist, and at one time the leader of the Creativity Movement and the owner of Resistance Records that acted as the groups distributor. Burdi was lead vocalist. He was convicted of assault causing bodily harm in 1995 for kicking a leftist Anti Racist Action agitator Alicia Reckzin in the face during a riot that followed a RaHoWa concert in Ottawa in 1993.
Rahowa's first album displayed a typical post-Oi racialist punk/metal sound, however, influences such as Moonspell, Type O Negative, Current 93, Danzig and neo-classical and epic metal influences crept into the picture on their second album, Cult of the Holy War, which received some good mainstream reviews and comment. It can be surmised that the band may have had more mainstream metal success if they would have dropped the racialist stand and lyrics.
