"From the very first note, the hair on my neck tingles again, because you might think that Sentenced has risen again ... so whoever is a fan of the depressive rock genre, should definitely access here …"
(Schwermetallvergiftung)

"Twelve times a musical firework is ignited here that consists of the finest, with a big portion of fresh Rock ... at any time you can hear the unbridled joy of playing here ... RAVENFIELD understand their craft and do their job damned well."
(KOBZR)

8 / 10
"The songs remind me again and again of the later albums of CEMETARY from Sweden ... the voice often sounds deep and warm, but it can also sound like Rock music … the charismatic singing is definitely the strength of the band ... really great potential ..."
(Der Hörspiegel)

8 / 10
"… 12 very good songs … heavy and melodic, but accessible and always bearing a melancholic and sad feeling."
(Metal Temple)

7 / 10
"… RAVENFIELD succeeds just by confronting you with your own dark side, keeping the focus sharp … anyone who likes typical depressive Dark Rock, which works in the mind both instrumental and vocally in an almost melancholic way, should find its way into this disc and band … those who prefer to see it more light-footed will even become slightly depressed by so much dark melancholy which cuts through the heart."
(Musiczine)

"… one of our favorite albums of the year … very beautiful themes … Rock worries and melancholy … if Kurt Sutter was now returning to the 'Sons Of Anarchy', he would have passed several Ravenfield songs in his episodes … have this anarchic, traveler-like and melancholy spirit, hanging out with quite a bit of wild passion … musical level is high … great in every way … it will make the fans of the genre feel …"
(Noizy.gr)

"… pleasantly gloomy atmosphere ... goose bumps ... very imaginative guitar interludes ... varied vocals ... the Bavarians are very good at creating a pleasant, gloomy mood in their listeners ... so many interspersed virtuosic reefs testify to the great skills of the musicians, and the many variations of singing fits in very well with these soundscapes."
(Metalmamas Neuigkeiten)

"… are likely to open doors among the fans, who still mourn the late Sentenced ... the catchy Dark Rock, however, has even more facets, certain passages reminiscent of the softer songs of Metallica …"
(Orkus)

"Polo on the microphone inspires with its emotional voice, which has a great variety of sounds ... those who are on Dark Rock should get shining eyes with 'Faith And Fall' …"
(Bad Black Unicorn)

"… charismatic, catchy voice ... depth ... goosebumps ... catchy tune ... don't let the last dance prune stand still either …"
(Demotape Magazine)

"… the heavy sound gets recognition value right from the beginning - because with singer Polo's charismatic voice one feels reminded one time and time again of the singing of James Hetfield ... extremely multifaceted …"
(Sonic Seducer)

Bulletpoints:
• Second album of the soulful Dark Rockers
• Captivating anthems full of heartbreak, sadness and anger
• Deeply serious music for profound spirits


The southern German Dark Rockers send you on a journey to the dark side of the soul with their second album PAIN ... and back again!

In eerily oppressive times, when nothing seems to be as constant as uncertainty, fear, grief and pain, one longs deeply for a trustworthy friend. For a real friend who holds your hand and resolutely accompanies you through the long night.




With their new album PAIN, RAVENFIELD enable nothing less than exactly that! PAIN is the tried and tested soundtrack of our unsteady present. Deeply serious Dark Rock, which breathes a velvety soulful charisma at the top of its lungs.




Ten songs full of haunting emotions, heartbreak, sadness and anger, which unmistakably act like anthemic liberation beats - dark music that gets under your skin without any room for superficiality.

PAIN was recorded and produced at the trusted DarklandStudios by longtime End Of Green frontman MICHELLE DARKNESS.


The result are stirring songs that roll into the ears with pleasurable elegance. Also vocally outstanding presented RAVENFIELD offer on this album whole series of pleasant goose bumps.

And so it comes within the ballad "The Pain" to a captivating duet between Polo and low-frequency master Darkness, in which one can almost grasp the torturous pain and agonizing grief. (Markus Eck)



BACKFLASH:
The touching art of German tragicians RAVENFIELD stands for guitar-oriented, melancholy-soaked and authentic emotional DARK ROCK - a heavy floating mix out of late Sentenced, Lake Of Tears, Poisonblack, Charon, late Tiamat and End Of Green.

Founded in 2016, it did not take long for the hungry participants to find their very own style. One year later, RAVENFIELD published their self-titled EP.

A stable start was made, followed by the songwriting for the debut album. And so "Faith And Fall" was launched in the spring of 2019. 'Dark Rock to kill happiness', as the band itself declares about - and simply nails it.

Singer and axeman Polo, with his natural-catchy, multi-faceted voice, often reminds of the rockin' vocals of James Hetfield, what gives the band's melodic sound some striking nuances.




Inside the creative centre of the four raven-souls turns all around melancholy, love and hate. The fact that not a little hope germinates in them makes the songs to good and faithful friends, who can quickly grow to heart … (Markus Eck)


On August 12th 2019, RAVENFIELD presented their new, official music video for the song "Self Destruction".
