The Raven Age announce new album ‘Conspiracy’

THE RAVEN AGE have announced a new album!

Titled Conspiracy, the upcoming album is the second effort from the rising British metallers and is scheduled to be released in March next year.

The upcoming album will be the first album from the band to feature new vocalist Matt James (aka MJ) and guitarist Tony Maue.

Speaking about the upcoming record, guitarist and album producer George Harris says, “we’re so proud of it – it’s definitely keeping within the spirit of the band but we’ve really expanded what we can do and delved into new topics and sounds. A lot of that is to do with what MJ has brought to the band. With him on board we’ve grown enormously from the first album. I’ve always been fascinated by the legend of the ravens of the Tower of London. The fact that the collective noun for ravens is a Conspiracy really inspired the album, the title and the artwork around it. In this fantasy world the ravens are actually being held captive at the Tower, they aren’t there of their own accord. Their wings have been clipped and they’re prisoners of the Tower to keep Britain from falling. This record develops the story with all sorts of twists and tangents.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming record; titled Fleur De Lis.
