THE RAVEN AGE Feat. IRON MAIDEN Bassist's Son GEORGE HARRIS: 'Salem's Fate' Video Premiere

“Salem’s Fate”, the new video from THE RAVEN AGE, the U.K.-based band led by IRON MAIDEN bassist Steve Harris‘s son George Harris, can be seen below. The song is taken from THE RAVEN AGE‘s debut album, “Darkness Will Rise”, which will be released on March 17 via BMG.

George told The Moshville Times about THE RAVEN AGE‘s musical direction: “We label ourselves as melodic metal. Pretty broad, I know, but it describes us perfectly. We’re a modern metal band, which you could say sounds metalcore musically, but we use clean vocals only on top of the low-tuned heavy music, which makes it a different thing. We’re also influenced by film score and epic music, which I think is apparent in our songs.”

Regarding THE RAVEN AGE‘s influences, George said: “Luckily, we’re generally into similar music. We all have our favorites, but are definitely on the same wavelength when it comes to bands. I think metalcore and modern styles of metal were breaking through at the time when we started getting into rock music, so, naturally, we fell in love with bands such as BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, TRIVIUM, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, AS I LAY DYING, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, PARKWAY DRIVE, etc. These are the bands, I think, we take most influence from musically, even though we’re slightly different.”

THE RAVEN AGE is a melodic metal band from London, United Kingdom consisting of five individuals who very quickly became friends through sharing a love for heavy music and a passion for songwriting.

In 2009, guitarists Dan Wright and George Harris began establishing their vision of a band that combines contemporary heavy music with powerful melodic vocals to create an epic and unique sound.

After writing their first album, they began searching for likeminded musicians to join the band and make their vision a reality.

Taking on bass player Matt Cox in 2012, with vocalist Michael Burrough and drummer Jai Patel joining in early 2013, the lineup was complete and ready to take their music to the stage.

THE RAVEN AGE is:

Michael Burrough – Vocals
Matt Cox – Bass
Dan Wright – Guitar
George Harris – Guitar
Jai Patel – Drums
