Heavy rock act RAVENSTINE is celebrating the release of their sophomore studio album, titled 2024! Available as CD Digipak, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, the album is out now on Massacre Records at https://lnk.to/ravenstine2024 

In support of record release day, the band has just shared a music video for their latest single “Fly Eagle Fly”. Guitarist and vocalist Martin Sosna comments:

“”Fly Eagle Fly” was the first song that was musically created for “2024”. John played the song to Hanno and Martin in the rehearsal room and it was obvious that it is a radio hit single. We are talking about a hit single as it was written in the famous 80’s and is hardly composed today. Easy to listen to and with a good hook line.

Lyrically, it’s about the old eagle, who shares his wisdom with a young eagle, telling him that he should not fly too high, because otherwise he will burn his wings.” 

Hailing from Croatia, Germany and Ireland, RAVENSTINE was formed during the pandemic; their self-titled debut was released earlier this year. With 2024, RAVENSTINE step it up and present themselves even more musically mature and cohesive than they did on their much-acclaimed, first full-length album. Lyrically, RAVENSTINE charge on as they began and call up various topics, some of a darker nature such as depression, or the prospect of one’s eventual demise. RAVENSTINE‘s colour-and sound-palette is broad.

2024 was recorded and mixed by band members Hanno Kerstan and John A.B.C. Smith, with a mastering by Dan Baune at Noise Foundry Productions. The stunning cover artwork was created by Frank Fiedler of Greenfeed Digital Ar.

After the band has shared a first single, the album opening track “Black Is The Brightest Color”, today RAVENSTINE are premiering a music video for the song ” A Long Way Home”. Guitarist and vocalist Martin Sosna says about the song and the video: “The song ‘A Long Way Home’ is about how it feels when you have to leave your home and realize after returning that it is no longer the home it once was.
 
The people in the Ahr valley have suffered exactly this fate, as many have lost their homes, farmsteads or even family members. They had to leave their homes. Anyone who was ever in the Ahr valley before the flood disaster will understand when we say: The home, as we knew it, is no longer as it once was and it will never be the same again.
 
We would like to thank Markus Wipperfürth and Felix Sorge for providing us with additional footage and for their support.” 

” A Long Way Home” is now available on all digital services at https://ravenst ine.bfan.link/a longwayhome , the new RAVENSTINE video is now premiering here:

January 12nd will see heavy rock act RAVENSTINE release their sophomore studio album, titled  2024, via Massacre Records. Available as CD Digipak, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, the pre-sale has just recently started at: https://lnk.to/ravenstine2024 

Today, the five-piece is presenting a new single and music video, for the album opening track “Black Is The Brightest Color”, which “is a very personal song by Martin, who wrote about his depression illness, which he was diagnosed with just over 10 years ago,” the band reveals. “In the song Martin tries to outline how it feels when the sun is shining outside and everyone is happy, while you yourself are sitting in a darkened room and don’t know why you are feeling bad right now. 

In this case it was the first time that we had a text before the music. The music was created around the lyrics, so to speak. The song is important to us, because we have noticed during the pandemic, that more and more people have to fight this disease. Remarks like “It’ll be alright” are not uncommon, but unfortunately they don’t help.”

“Black Is The Brightest Color” is now available on all digital services at: https://ravenstine.bfan.link/blackisthebrightestcolor, a video clip is now premiering here:
