RAVEN BLACK Unleashes Twin Nightmares with “CRY OF THE RAVEN” and “DEAD” – Both Singles & Videos Out Now!

From the Upcoming Album Black Sonata , Releasing September 13, 2025

A Dark Carnival of Power, Pain, and Purge Returns

The twisted ringmasters of theatrical metal, RAVEN BLACK , have returned with not one, but two diabolical new singles — “CRY OF THE RAVEN” and “DEAD” — both out now on all streaming platforms alongside their official music videos. This dual drop offers fans an unflinching plunge into the band’s nightmarish world, setting the stage for their most unhinged and ambitious album yet, Black Sonata , arriving Friday, September 13, 2025.

Produced by legendary metal alchemist Ulrich Wild ( Static-X, White Zombie, Deftones ), these tracks embody the raw duality of Raven Black’s sound.

Both songs are twisted tales ripped from Raven’s own mythos — part gothic fairytale, part psychological horror — and together they pull listeners deeper into the Black Sonata universe.

Watch the official music videos now:

Cry of the Raven :

“Every song is a chapter in our story. ‘Cry of the Raven’ is the call — the awakening of the darkness within. ‘Dead’ is the purge — the breaking point where there’s nothing left to lose,” says Raven.

MEET RAVEN BLACK

RAVEN BLACK are a theatrical metal act originally from Los Angeles. Their unique brand of metal — influenced by gothic, classical, and heavy metal — is the soundtrack to vocalist Raven’s duality , as she shares her journey of being a hybrid of both dark and light. Drawing from a lifetime of diverse influences — music, art, film, cultural heritage, and personal experience — every song is crafted as an immersive journey, designed to leave listeners transformed.

Some tracks are melodic, some are menacing, some are pure chaos — but all tell a story. At the core lies their comic book-inspired origin: a girl whose innocence was stolen, cursed by predators, and haunted by her inner demons. She discovers she is half-human, half-doll — the doll within being the embodiment of darkness. Embracing this shadow self, she travels with her demons, who protect her from those seeking to steal her inner power. She is the key.
