The UK has always been known in the metal scene as a region that excels in class over quantity when it comes to the artistic potential of its bands. Especially for bands from the modern, melodic sector, the island has been a constant haven for talented newcomers over the last few years - and «The Raven Age» featuring George Harris, the son of «Iron Maiden» and «British Lion» bassist Steve Harris are further powerful evidence for this claim.
In 2009, guitarists Dan Wright and George Harris came together with a vision of a band that would fuse contemporary heavy music with powerful, melodic vocals to create an epic and unique sound. The result was "The Raven Age«, a melodic metal band from London consists of Michael Burrough (vocals), Matt Cox (bass), Jai Patel (drums) and as mentioned Dan Wright and George Harris. The five friends share a love of heavy music and they all share a passion for songwriting.
The Raven Age - Uprising / Eye Among the Blind
Since the release of their self-titled debut EP, the five-piece troupe has made a name for themselves in the UK and beyond. The success is not by chance, because on the guitar George Harris, the son of Iron Maiden legend Steve Harris, convinces that pretty much everything that is musically touched by the Harris clan has hand, foot and hit potential . At live shows in France, Portugal, Spain and even at this year's Sonisphere Festival, they were able to win as newcomers and especially convince fans of the more modern metal school.
The Raven Age - The Death March
After its release in July, the debut EP "The Raven Age" reached number 1 on the Amazon Hot New Releases chart, number 16 on the Top 100 Best Sellers in Rock & Metal and received airplays on Sweden's Rock Radio No.1 "Bandit Rock". Proof enough for the young band's potential and the right mood for the band's first studio album, which is due to be released in summer 2015. One can be curious, until then it's time to while away the time with the excellent EP, which you can listen to a sample of here in this article. From our point of view, it sounds excellent and extremely promising. The EP is available digitally and in physical form worldwide via the Homepage of the band to have.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
