Description

2009 and the Raven is reborn in truth witnessing the release of ‘Mammons War’. ‘Mammon’ is a term, derived from the Christian Bible, that was used to describe greed, avarice, and unjust worldly gain and the word itself is a transliteration from the Hebrew word ‘mammon’, which means ‘money’. This tells the listener the band still relates their frustrations and unhappiness with social injustices and how senseless the world truly is – especially today. No excuses are being made or offered. Old fans shouldn’t be disappointed by this album musically either. There is of course more maturity behind the dirges which augments the anger, disappointment and weariness at a flawed world, but in sound they’re as timeless as ever, from the traditionally styled riffs to the Ozzy sounding vocals of Fodde. Hardly has there ever been another band tapping so close to the pure essence of doom metal. The Raven flies again, stronger and more inspired than ever, and the world is once again cast under its shadow. Track listing: 1. The Poltergeist 2. Scream 3. Nashira 4. The Entity 5. Mammons War 6.
