Swedish metal band Ravened has released a video for their new single ‘kill the masked pretender’.

Check out the music video below.

Even though the band members are between 20-25 years old, the music has been a big part of their lives for generations. Olle Liljegren (guitars, songwriter) is son to Simeon Liljegren (Modest Attraction, Audiovision), and nephew to Christian Liljegren (Narnia, Flames of Fire, The Waymaker, Audiovision, Divinefire, Golden Resurrection, etc.) and drummer Oliwer Svensson is son to Kent Svensson (Hellfueled).

Ravened from Jönköping, Sweden, is all about really tight modern metal merged with influences from the past. Bands like Pantera, Bloodbath, Lamb of God, and Metallica has inspired Ravened’s music.

Ravened delivers heavy riffs, well-written lyrics, and a hunger and passion like few other bands in their age. The band delivers energetic shows, comfortable dressed, but very engaged in the audience.

From first introduction-track ‘The Path’ and into ‘Foul Deeds’ to closing title track ‘From the Depths’, the band keeps the listener’s interest. The guys put their hearts and minds into songs like ‘Stridsugglan’, with its attitude, and the mighty ‘Personal Universe’, featuring a church cantor, playing a grand church organ.

The band was formed in 2018, and has just started their journey towards an exciting future. This is where it all starts!

Ravened‘s sophomore album The Relentless has been released 9 June 2023. Our review can be found here.

Lyrics: Incarnation

The disturbance of liberation
Our last vow before incarnation
The light turns black for heathens
Our damned souls are violated
Cast aside what you believe in
We’re soldiers of the new world we’re heathens
Cut down the cross we’re not immortal

Shook it off , shook it off
The belief that made me
I shook it off, shook it off
The filth within

The reminisce is the plague of the earth
A mourning growl of deliverance
Morbid sounds shook the ground and I’m faded
And nothing can hurt me no more
I’m not divine nor a peasant
We’re soldiers of the new world I have waited
Burn down the cross we’re not immortal

Shook it off, shook it off
The belief that made me
I shook it off, shook it off
The filth within

Burn it, leave it, believe this life is not eternal
Don’t waste the time you need
I was not your failure
Burn me, leave me buried, don’t come back digging
This is a vow, our last goodbye
Burn it, leave it, believe this life is not eternal
Don’t waste the time you need
I was not your failure
Burn me, leave me buried, don’t come back digging
This is a vow, our last goodbye
Bury, bury, bury
Throw me, throw me, throw me
Buried, buried, buried
Throw me down in the dirt
Cut down the cross
We’re not immortal

Shook it off, shook it off
The belief that made me
Shook it off, shook it off
The belief that made me
I shook it off, shook it off
The filth within
(End this life)
I Shook it off, shook it off
The belief that made me
I shook it off, shook it off
The filth within
White trash whore
