On October 13, 2017, American alt-metal artist MELISSA VANFLEET released her highly anticipated and hauntingly compelling new single, “Raven”, available now at all major digital retailers.
The single was recorded in February 2017 at BRX Studio in Milan with the team behind Italian gothic metal band LACUNA COIL‘s critically acclaimed 2016 album Delirium – bassist/producer Marco “Maki” Coti-Zelati with engineers Marco Barusso (Thirty Seconds To Mars, Coldplay), Dario Valentini and Marco D’Agostino – and features guest musician Douglas Blair (W.A.S.P.) on lead guitar.
Blending atmospherically dark orchestration with heavy, melodic guitars and Coti-Zelati’s trademark bass tone, the soaring “Raven” showcases VanFleet’s emotionally intense signature vocal delivery and powerful songwriting ability, establishing her as an artist to watch.
As previously announced the New Haven based metal titans DEAD BY WEDNESDAY will kick off the EMP Label Group U.S. Tour, alongside RAVEN, on August 17th in Clifton Park, NY. See below the complete tour trek.
In celebration of the upcoming tour, DEAD BY WEDNESDAY have released a brand new song/lyric video, “Darwin’s Dance”, an example of what’s to come on the band’s upcoming full-length album. Watch “Darwin’s Dance” here:
“Darwin’s Dance” will be available for download via iTunes, Amazon, Spotify very soon. For now, the track is available for a limited time on Bandcamp, featuring the “pay your own price” option.
DEAD BY WEDNESDAY vocalist Rob Roy says: “We are super pumped to unleash our new tune “Darwin’s Dance” to the masses but better yet even more stoked to be touring as direct support to British metal legends Raven! Can’t wait to hear some of their road stories and I’m sure we’ll be learning a thing or two from them as well.”
