NEWS - RAVEN, the Legends of NWOBHM and Godfathers of Thrash, are Back Out On The Road for a 40 Date North American Tour Starting in March

Hailing from Newcastle Upon Tyne in North East England back in 1974 (yes – 46 YEARS ago!!!) the brothers Gallagher cut their teeth playing the pubs & clubs until solidifying their line up in 1980 with drummer Rob Hunter.

The trio went on to release three of the most influential metal albums of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) inspiring every band of that era and beyond.  Basically,  without Raven you just would not have thrash/speed metal.... after all, the band did give Metallica & Anthrax their first tours!

2025 saw the release of the 8 song EP " CAN'T TAKE AWAY THE FIRE" raising the bar on metal mayhem one more time as a gift to the fans while the band work on preparing their next magnum opus!

JOHN GALLAGHER: Lead Vocals, Bass

MIKE HELLER: Drums
MARK GALLAGHER: Guitar, Vocals
