Raven

As soon as everyone was gathered in the room people started chanting ‘Raven, Raven, Raven’ and the drum kit was slowly illuminated as drum beats started beating - increasing the suspense. Suddenly the other members of the band exploded onto the stage, jumping around and stoking everyone’s energy to a fever pitch! Wearing a lot of leather, long hair and growling along to the lyrics, Raven were the embodiment of a perfect heavy metal band! Definitely one of the most exciting bands I’ve ever seen live! Raven was formed by brothers John and Mark Gallagher and their strength as a unit really comes across during the band’s performance! They all bounced off each other’s enthusiasm and their love of the music which made it even more enjoyable to watch and to be a part of!

Raven were formed in 1974 so have a lot of music available to listen to! I would definitely recommend their first album ‘Rock Until You Drop’ which was released in 1981 to a lot of praise. Their most recent album, ‘Walk Through Fire’ was released in 2009 and is also great! Even better: Raven are currently on tour! For the duration of October and November they will be touring in the US and there are plenty of dates available for you to go and see them! I promise, you will love it!
