The Raven Age announced late last week the addition of former Wild Lies vocalist Matt James, who takes over frontman duties.
“I'm feeling incredibly honoured and excited to become part of The Raven Age family. It's been such a natural fit for me, and has made me see that the possibilities are endless for the future of this band,” says Matt.
The first taste of the new line up, completed by guitarists George Harris and Tony Maue, bassist Matt Cox and drummer Jai Patel, comes with the brand new single Surrogate. Check out the video right here:
“The morale and excitement of The Raven Age has been sky high since Matt joined the band” comments George Harris (whose dad happens to be Steve Harris from Iron Maiden). “He is an incredible vocalist and has brought a new lease of life to our sound. We can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve been up to in the studio and ‘Surrogate’ is just a teaser of what Matt is bringing to the table.”
They're on tour with Savage Messiah right now, the remaining dates are as follows:
Tue 17th – Newcastle, Academy 2
Wed 18th – Birmingham, Academy 3
Thu 19th – London, The Underworld
Their live schedule will continue this summer with main stage appearances at this year’s Hellfest and Volt Festival and European dates supporting Iron Maiden, with more high profile tours soon to be announced.
