Raven ExtermiNation

2015, EXTERMINATION is not only an incredibly produced sonic assault, but the band's most ferocious album since 1991's ARCHITECT OF FEAR. Take songs like ,,Battle March Tank Treads", ,,One More Day", ,,The Fire Burns Within", and you can see where some of the inspiration for EXTERMINATION comes from: ,,Heart Attack", ,,Sold Down The River" and ,,Part Of The Machine" - all from ARCHITECT OF FEAR. However, with superior production this time out combined with John Gallagher's timeless vocals, the songs on EXTERMINATION sound younger, fresher, and more merciless than ever. By employing the above formula of hooks and fun, the album just feels incredibly energetic and alive. For those seeking something different, check out ,,River Of No Return" - which gives off a ,,So Close" or ,,The Dark Side" vibe (both from GLOW). If there is one thing that Raven never forgets - it's that all real music begins with a hook to make it great. It takes more than just ´heaviness`, though EXTERMINATION has its fair share of that.
