“… We wanted to just start out with the ‘no rules, no expectations’ vibe to this album,” the band said. “We have never had explicit lyrics in any of our music in the past 10 years. It’s past due. Being authentic is more important to us than what is expected in today’s trends of what people may think metal music should be. We think our music is a sonata.
“Our ‘Black Sonata.'”
Singer Raven said: “When you’re faced with loss, grief, sadness and anger all at the same time, it is hard to focus on anything in your life. The pause button is necessary. I paused for a moment to do what I needed to do for my own physical and mental health. I found myself. All of me, all the pieces, even the hidden ones.
“This album is so special. With my husband, Ryan ‘Muppet’ Cox, and friend, Maezi Kacey, and working with Ulrich Wild, at WURMgroup, this has become our best work since we started in 2011.”
Raven Black, originally founded in Los Angeles, California, describes itself as a “Dark Metal Carnival” The band has released three albums since 2016 and toured rigorously since, supporting acts such as Cradle of Filth, DevilDriver, Jinjer, Mushroomhead and Static-X.
