The Raven Age release new song ‘Betrayal Of The Mind’

THE RAVEN AGE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Betrayal of the Mind, is the latest single from the rising UK metallers and is taken from their soon-to-be announced second record.

Speaking about the track, guitarist George Harris says, “this was one of the first songs that came together for our upcoming album. What was cool when writing this was that we really got to experiment with melodies because of Matt‘s vocal range. There felt like no boundaries with it, and his high pitch tone with our heavy rhythms works really well for us. Betrayal of the Mind was written as a result of mental health affecting all of us as individuals in some way and some worse than others, It’s become even more apparent in the last eighteen months or so just how many people are suffering in silence, especially in the music industry and fans of rock and alternative music. Unfortunately, it’s a subject that is so present in our everyday lives at the moment and we know that writing a few words isn’t going to end it but it’s our way of dealing with the past and present.”

To show their support in raising awareness of mental health, money generated from the first month of sales of the new single will all be donated to The Blurt Foundation – a charity that works tirelessly to make a difference to anyone affected by depression.

Vocalist Matt James adds, “in an age where mental health problems are becoming a pandemic, it serves as a reminder how far we have come as a species but how unaccustomed we are to this new world in which we currently live. We are connected to each other through technology but yet are feeling more alone than ever. We need to spread awareness and act on these issues, and speak out when we are feeling alone. One way to do this is through music.”
