English melodic metal band The Raven Age have shared their newest single “Wait For Me” via Explorer1 Music Group/EX1 Records. The track is one of two brand new songs on the band’s upcoming album “Exile”. Acoustic soundscapes meet electric instrumentals to produce a luxurious rock ballad that will leave listeners hoping for more.
On the new single, vocalist Matt James shares “"Wait For Me" is a song with a universal theme that nearly everyone can relate to. It’s a deeply personal subject to me about how even when we are separated from our loved ones, the 'ties that bind us' together will always bring us back eventually - something I think that all of us have discovered through these trying times”.
The Raven Age recently announced their new album “Exile”, out September 17 via Explorer1 Music Group/EX1 Records. The album consists of 11 tracks including 2 new original songs, plus reimagined fan favorites from their 2019 release “Conspiracy”. “Exile” also features hand-picked live tracks from past shows in Chile, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. Two tracks from the album, “No Man’s Land” and “As The World Stood Still”, are available now.
“Exile” is available to pre-order now, including exclusive artist bundles with limited autographed copies via the band’s online store HERE.
The Raven Age have also announced their streaming event The Year The World Stood Still. The show will be taking place on September 16th, in celebration of “Exile” release. With the ongoing pandemic complicating travel plans, the band wanted to ensure that fans all around the globe could experience the “Exile” premiere firsthand. The band will be accompanied by a string quartet and pianist and the night will include a live Q&A session with The Raven Age. Tickets for The Year The World Stood Still are available now HERE.
“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before” – The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe
The Raven Age are as brilliantly catchy as they are deviously heavy, delicately balancing classic and modern metal influences with an alt-rock twist. Their latest opus traps lightning in a bottle and laces cinematic flavors within concrete heaviness in a way very few have done before – dragging the listener deeper and deeper inside their dark dystopian reality. Truth be told, this is a band that are every bit as explosive as a blockbuster movie.
Put together as a passion project, The Raven Age’s newest album “Exile” breathes a new life into tracks that have already made their mark, further highlighting the band’s versatility and depth. Two new tracks make their appearance on the album, “Wait For Me” and “No Man’s Land”, and act as a homage to current state of the world. From the height of their game in 2019 to having the rug pulled out from under them with the pandemic in 2020, Exile is the perfect bridge between what was and what is still to come.
The proof, as they say, is always in the pudding. With the success of their previous album “Conspiracy” reaching over 30 million streams worldwide, putting out a Top 30 Billboard Radio track, and storming UK arenas opening for Alter Bridge & Shinedown, and now a global pandemic, The Raven Age have risen to every challenge thrown their way and look primed for metal glory. Get ready for the year of the Raven.
