The Raven Age sign with Music For Nations

THE RAVEN AGE have signed with Music For Nations!

Since forming in 2009, the English modern metal band have been slogging away in the alternative music underground with plenty of live performances and two studio albums (2017’s Darkness Will Rise and 2019’s Conspiracy) to date.

Now, the band have taken the next step in their career through signing with Music For Nations. The band will make their label debut in summer next year with their third full-length studio record (the follow-up to 2021’s compilation record Exile).

Speaking about the signing, guitarist George Harris says, “spirits are high in THE RAVEN AGE camp right now. We’re absolutely ecstatic to be working with such an awesome team at Music For Nations and to get the ball rolling with the long-awaited new album campaign. It’s a serious achievement for us, I’m super proud of all the lads and everyone involved. Bring on next year, it’s going to be a cracker.”

Singer Matt James (MJ) adds, “we feel extremely excited to be starting this new chapter with such a prestigious metal label. Our long-awaited new album finally has the platform it needs, and we can’t wait for 2023!!!”

Welcoming the band to the label, MFN Director Julie Weir says, “all of us here at Music For Nations are overjoyed to welcome THE RAVEN AGE to the label family. They have already accomplished so much on their own, and have an exceptional Management, Press and Booking team around them already, so we are excited to take them to the next level of their career with support from our own structure both in the UK and Internationally, to grow their influence and fanbase.”

As mentioned, the band will release their label debut in summer next year. The forthcoming album will be the band’s first with new guitarist Tommy Gentry and they have teamed up with Matt Hyde [SLIPKNOT, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, TRIVIUM], Mika Jussila at Finnvox [NIGHTWISH, CHILDREN OF BODOM, HIM] and several other special guests to be revealed at a later date.
