Step into the twisted carnival not once more but twice more. Raven Black, the darkly theatrical metal phenomenon, is about to shatter reality with two devastating new releases: "Cry Of The Raven" And "Dead", from its impending album, Black Sonata, due on 12 September.
Known for blending metal's ferocity with a Tim Burton-esque world of eerie fantasy, Raven Black is ready to deliver its most intense, emotionally charged, and sonically powerful work to date.
Following years of captivating fans with their unique "dark carnival metal" sound, Raven Black returns sharper, heavier, and more fearless than ever. "Cry Of The Raven" promises a soaring, sinister journey through rage, resilience, and redemption - driven by bone-crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and Raven's unmistakable voice cutting through the storm. The song is about Raven's hidden struggle with the demands and pressure while undergoing her own personal and private depression and illness. The stuff people don't see or know the truth about. We all have some kind of suffering in silence. We are never alone in it, but we sometimes choose to keep it hidden.
"Dead" sinks even deeper, exploring mortality, loss, and the shadows of the soul with a theatrical ferocity that only this band can conjure. A power metal song about a vampire and living as the Dead in a world where others do not realise the pain and suffering of the living dead, but we are sleeping through our lives, ignorant of the true meaning of life.
