It means "Raging Atheists Vowing A Gory End". The band made a self-produced demo titled "Rotting in Hell" With the line-up of:
Kelly Shaefer - Guitar/Vocals
Steve Flynn - Drums
Roger Patterson - Bass
In August 1985 they entered Progressive Studios in Tampa to record one song "Kill Or Be Killed"
which was added to four other songs that were recorded live on a mixing desk due to a lack of money and that became the "Rotting In Hell" demo.
Despite the rough sound, the tape did quite a bit to establish the band's name in the underground via the tape trading and fanzine networks.

death evokation
I remember Nicke from Nihilist/Entombed mentioned in one interview how they used to listen to these two R.A.V.A.G.E. tracks (from this compilation) non stop back in the day. I supposed those tapes circulated around the swedish scene at the time so other bands probably listened to it as well. I noticed the riff at 1:25 is similar to one of the riffs in Dismember's track Dismembered. Perhaps they took some inspiration from R.A.V.A.G.E. or maybe it's just a coincidence :)
