Quick update, after a quiet couple of months, we have detected some activity. Album number 2 will get the professional mixing treatment and will be released in 2014. Here is a statement from the band.
Ravenscry has decided to work with Roberto Laghi (In Flames, Hardcore Superstar, Sonic Syndicate, Freak Kitchen) for the mixing and Dragan Tanasković (In Flames, Hardcore Superstar, Dark Tranquillity) for the mastering of its forthcoming second full-length album, which will be released in 2014. The band states: "For this second album we want to take the time we need and, in order to achieve the best we could with our possibilities, we will work with such great professionals like Roberto and Dragan. They are the best in our opinion in every single aspect."
So my friends we are going to have to be patient, but good things cannot be rushed, so I am sure we will see something special next year. The more hook up the band can bring in, the better, Keep it Raven folks!! \m/
Ok it actually starred Kate Beckinsale, but you have to admit, this ass kicking heroine strikes a resemblance to our very own Giulia, at least from the Nobody video. Judge for yourself.
Here you go, the band have delivered and rocked in italy last Saturday. How about some real footage of the gig? I am sure you are dying to check it out? You will be pleased to know there is also new material along with the old favourites. Enjoy!
I think the new material is sounding really great, All of what we love from the Ravenscry sound plus a beefed up and refined musical experience. I have no doubt all those who attended enjoyed the show immensely.
Here are some of the old favourites

Callioping far away and beyond
The second Video clip from the band which was released in August of last year has hit 39,000 views. Not a bad return so far! Remember guys to keep sharing the vid and introduce the band to as many people as possible! What are your thoughts on the vid?
Great Scott Marty We are sending you back to the future!
So what else I hear you ask? Well the band went on to post up this pic on the facebook page at the end of January with a cryptic message (what are we doing?). Since the band really seem to love creating guessing games for the fans, it took a few days before all was revealed. However, this pic really seemed to stir the imagination of the fans, who tried in vein to explain just what the hell was going on.
Some of the theories bordered on the down right eccentric! Here are some of the best ones.
A flux capacitor
A badass movie setup
Unpacking presents
A machine with many buttons
Converting awesome to digital format
Christmas decorations
Home made explosive device that looks like a Christmas Tree and functions like a flux capacitor
A comment controlling device designed to only work around Christmas trees. If set to a volume higher than 3 it explodes back to 1985.
I can reveal that it was indeed a flux capacitor. I can also reveal that It is not.
Here is what was going on when the pic was taken. A new promo ad for their latest endorsement. Enjoy!
Poetic Masterclass
Any poetry lovers out there? Well here is another piece of art inspired by the band. It's great to see people getting creative and penning some inspired poetic artworks. This is Angels Cry, by Johara San.
Angels Cry
Clouds cover the sun The road is hard to find The rain keeps pouring down Air is frozen Seen with every breath My body so numb I fall on my knees
Wanting to reach out But the road is gone No path way to me I wont be found
An Angels Cry Heard from the heart Each tear falls Frozen to the ground An Angels Cry Heart from the heart Shattered into nothingness Hear the Angels Cry http://johara-san.deviantart.com/
Simon drum clinic
Yes he's back with another drum clinic. We first saw Simon rocking his way along with the song, Nobody. Now he's back with new gear, and yes, the thousand faces return! This is Simon with Back to the Hell.
