Blackpool. Home of that big tower. Shitty stag weekends. A football team that play in a strip that could be confused with a motorway worker’s fluorescent jacket.
And rock.
In this case Ravenface, a five-piece (though one member is in the process of leaving while auditions are held for a new guitarist) playing what I guess you could pigeon-hole as melodic death metal. Ish. They’re a bit lighter than that but it’s close enough for those who think everything needs a category.
Their first EP, Isolation, topped 10,000 s and their debut album This is Annihilation (self-released as was the EP) is getting good reviews. In fact so good that I just decided to buy their more recent offering (Divided Kingdoms) after listening to the YouTube video beneath.
You can This is Annihilation from the evil Apple iTunes store or get a proper CD copy of Divided Kingdoms (£5 plus a very reasonably £1 P&P within the UK) from Big Cartel.
As well as an tour in April (details on their facebook page), they’re playing the Friday night at Scotland’s Les-Fest festival in June.
