Ravenscroft is a seasoned foursome of musicians whose individual backgrounds and eclectic educations present handsomely delivered melodic alternative rock.
Ravenscroft is Melodic, Hard Hitting Rock that comes from the Soul! Their sound is derived from the very Best of Old School meets New School Hard Rock/Metal. Black Sabbath meets Tool, Drowning Pool meets Shinedown, Creed meets Godsmack! Ravenscroft is very Familiar, yet very New, Original and Cutting Edge! We were lucky enough to listen to their unreleased album titled 'Rebel EP'. The release date has not been set.
Ravenscroft offers a soulful hard hitting hard rock on the passionate “Rebel EP”. Downright bombastic Ravenscroft blasts through the EP with a take no prisoners approach. Vocals soar above the distorted guitar din and swinging force of nature style of the rhythms. Everything virtually demands to be blasted at the highest possible volume. Layer upon layer is added with the utmost of care for Ravenscroft draws from hard rock classics alongside their contemporaries. From this approach what emerges is a sound that feels timeless yet of the here and now. Washing over the listener with a true ear for infectious hooks, the compelling nature of the tracks comes from the commanding vocals alongside the colossal guitar riffs that soar over the entire collection.
Pummeling percussion and wild guitar work comes together on the churning grooves of “The Chase”. A tribal rhythm takes hold on the ceremonial stylings of “Denomination” where the vocal delivery adds to the intensity, along with the low-slung nature of bass, rumbling with a sense of fury. Rushing through with a great energy alongside a certain degree of nimbleness, “Jaded” offers a degree of tension that they build up until the whole thing simply explodes with an intense energy. By far the highlight of the collection comes from the chaotic “Rebel”. A little bit of a mystical vibe enters into the equation on the taut “Stand Up”. Turning things on their head is the tenderness of “Dearest One” where Ravenscroft turn the volume down to reveal a real ear from melody and uncanny knack for storytelling.
Aptly named, Ravenscroft tap into an atmosphere of pure unbridled defiance with the potent “Rebel EP”.
