Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
The Raven Age releases an aggressively melodic new song with an accompanying video “Serpents Tongue” out on all streaming platforms now. See the video here: https://youtu.be/OSa4X_tEkOc
The band’s line-up includes guitarist George Harris, guitarist Tommy Gentry, bassist Matt Cox, drummer Jai Patel, and singerMatt “MJ” James. Following the unforgiving lead single‘Parasite,’ the band return with the majestic and fiery ‘Serpents Tongue’. Lead singer James muses “Serpents Tongue, right from the off felt like a very special track for us. It’s that perfect balance between melodic and heaviness. There are so many different styles going on, but they all work and complement each other as a whole. When I first heard that lyrical hook that starts off the chorus, I knew we were onto a winner! It gets stuck in your head.” Lead guitarist Harris adds “Serpents Tongue is one of our favorites from the album and we knew it’d be a single straight away. Conceptually, the song is about deceit and lies, how you can only truly trust yourself and the loneliness that comes with that.”
The video finds the band performing the song in a ghoulish mansion to soundtrack a demonic dinner party hosted by the Raven King. James reminisces “The video had to compliment the track and give it the right representation. We knew we had to go even further creatively than we had done previously (which was difficult). I had this whacky concept of an Adams family-style dinner party, a meeting of the weird and wonderful but unsure if we’d be able to pull it off… luckily with a great team around us in Music For Nations and the support and tools from Dark fable media we feel we’ve brought the vision to life and created something pretty special that does the song justice.”
Their highly anticipated third album Blood Omen will be out on July 7th, their first record with Music For Nations/Sony Music. This summer they will be touring arenas across Europe and the UK with Iron Maiden. They will also be performing at Germany’s Rock am Ring, Belgium’s Graspop Metal Meeting, Return Of The Gods Festival in Italy, Sweden Rock, and Metal Days in Slovenia.
