(This band knows how to rock! Heavy metal full of passion and enthusiasm! LONG LIVE THE NWOBHM!!!)
Being one of the flagships of the first wave of the NWOBHM, UK’s RAVEN had started out as early as in 1974 already and developed a style that would lay down the first stepping stones for what a few years later morphed into Speed Metal (the lads called it Athletic Rock, haha). It is not so much the speed of the drumming but rather the hectic singing and the wild guitar work. There is really a whole lot going on in the background, if you follow the guitars. Quite a novelty for a 1980 Metal band! Don’t need your Money is the sing along track on the band’s first vinyl output, but Wiped Out is the hit. What a song!
(2:36 what metal is about!)
