Swedish metal band Ravened are currently working on ther second album and we are very excited about it! It is going to be recorded at Tarzound studio with the boys at velocity productions. You can watch a short teaser clip below.
Their debut album “From the Depths” has been released August 7th, 2020. The album is an experience of five young guys, pouring 100% of their hearts into 12 heavy tracks, which would attract both listeners interested in the technical aspect of music, as well as anyone who just loves great metal.
Ravened bring their take on groove metal in full force in their debut album, setting expectations high for this new band.
New bands are always a treat to review as you never know what you are going to get and in this case the promo material wasn’t the greatest amount of help as a good bit of the bio was spent discussing the relatives of the band members, but I guess when you’re a new band of members under 25yrs old, you may have to fill space. The band from Jönköping, Sweden formed in 2018 and as mentions features a couple members with a famous heritage in Olle Liljegren (guitars) who is son to Simeon Liljegren (Modest Attraction) and nephew to Christian Liljegren (Narnia, Divine Fire) and drummer Oliwer Svensson who is son to Kent Svensson (Hellfueled). I guess Isak Wendel (vocals), Willy Eriksson (guitar) and Simon Salqvist (bass) don’t have famous relatives but they do round out the band of youngsters. The band itself is said to be influenced by the likes of Pantera, Lamb of God, and Metallica and once you start listening that becomes readily apparent.
The album opens up with the somewhat creepy sounding intro track “The Path” featuring some atmospheric keyboards and clean guitar that eventually fades into the opening riff of “Foul Deeds” and from that moment on, it’s clear that we’re heading into the realm of groove/melodic death metal. Isac Wendel’s vocals are immediately gruff shouted and somewhat ragged, but do veer into the simmering clean vocals similar to Corey Taylor on some Slipknot songs where you can hear the tension building in the voice as you wait for it to explode. Drums are heavy and pummeling as is the rest of the rhythm section.
Ravened is a metalband hailing from Jönköping, Sweden. Last Saturday (Oct. 10) they streamed their entire debut album “From The Depths” from The End Studios. Check out the video footage below.
