Formed during the pandemic and following their self-titled debut, released earlier this year on Rock of Angels Records, heavy rockers Ravenstine have signed a worldwide deal with Massacre Records! The five-piece, hailing from Croatia, Germany and Ireland, will release their sophomore studio album, titled “2024”, on January 12th, 2024.
Guitarist and vocalist, Martin Sosna, comments: “I am pleased to be working with Massacre Records. I have known Thomas Hertler since 1991 and we have already worked together on various other matters – like Scanner, Duke, God’s Army A.D. und Mystic Prophecy – in the past . Now we want to introduce ‘2024’ to an even bigger audience”.
With “2024”, Ravenstine step it up and present themselves even more musically mature and cohesive than they did on their much-acclaimed debut. Lyrically, Ravenstine charge on as they began and call up various topics, some of a darker nature such as depression, or the prospect of one’s eventual demise. Ravenstine’s colour-and sound-palette is broad.
“2024” was recorded and mixed by band members Hanno Kerstan and John A.B.C. Smith, with a mastering by Dan Baune at Noise Foundry Productions. The stunning cover artwork was created by Frank Fiedler of Greenfeed Digital Ar.
Coming as CD Digipak, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, the pre-sale has just started here.
