Raven Black
Raven Black are a theatrical metal act based out of Los Angeles, CA. Their unique brand of metal - influenced by gothic, classical, and heavy metal music - is the soundtrack to vocalist Raven’s duality, as she shares her story of being a hybrid of both dark and light. The band released their debut single, "Died Inside" in September 2017, and releasing their first full album, "Midnight Dreary" in June 2014, performing at the famous Viper Room in Hollywood.
The Music
Taking from all of their favorite musical influence and mixing them with all of their favorite art, movies, ethnic backgrounds and life experiences, every song is created to take their fans on a journey, an adventure and come out of it with new perspective and understanding. Some songs are melodic, some songs are dark. Some songs are fun, some songs are raging and psychotic.
The Comic Book Story
A girl whose innocence was taken at a young age, overcoming her own demons, cursed by her predators, she discovers she is half human/half doll. The doll within is dark. She embraces her inner darkness and travels with her demons who protect her from the ones who seek to take her inner power. She is the key.
