New Wave of British Heavy Metal and Thrash legends RAVEN have are currently on the road in North America on the 'North American Extermination Tour 2014'. The band kicked off this tour following their special guest appearances alongside ACCEPT. Fans can expect to hear RAVEN classics and new songs that the band is currently in the studio working on. The tour is going on now and runs through November 25th in Raleigh, NC.
Vocalist/Bassist John Gallagher commented on the tour:
"The tour is off to a great start...we've mixed things up set wise and are playing a few brand new songs that will be in the upcoming album and a few old ones we have not done in a long while or ever! We even did "Ballad of Marshall Stack" last night! NIGHT DEMON is killing it as support and we are really looking forward to the rest of the gigs."
It was recently announced that RAVEN has signed a worldwide deal with SPV/Steamhammer and their new studio album and follow up to "Walk Through Fire" is set for a release in February 2015.
Last year saw the release of the band's documentary DVD "Rock Until You Drop - A Long Day's Journey" documents the band's almost 40 year career and highlights their high energy approach and influence on the development of Thrash. The DVD can be ordered HERE.
