Raven Song Lyrics

Raven is an English heavy metal band from Newcastle upon Tyne formed in 1975, pioneering the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement with their aggressive, speed-driven sound. Their early albums like "Rock Until You Drop" and "Wiped Out" helped bridge the gap between traditional heavy metal and the emerging thrash metal scene, influencing countless bands in both genres. Songs like "Life's A Bitch" and "Breaking You Down" showcased their trademark blend of galloping rhythms, twin guitar attacks, and working-class British metal attitude. Despite lineup changes and evolving sounds across albums like "ExtermiNation," Raven remained a vital force in underground metal, earning respect as uncompromising veterans who helped shape modern heavy music.
