AGENTS OF YOUR DEMISE
"SICK EXISTENCE" is another song that musically sounds a lot happier at some points than it really is... it tells an important story, If you know you know. I've been waiting to finish this song for a long time so getting it out into the world has been a long time coming."
- Stephen Chesney
ON THE SICK EXISTENCE RECORDING PROCESS:
“We'd been hanging out at a crochet circle and after a lot of hand cramps and light banter we decided to throw our knitting needles at the b*tch giving the class and say stick these up your ass, we're going to go rock this f*cker.” - Eric Dover

THE SONGS
"What you hear on the record in a lot of ways is the story of the last 10/15 years of my life. They’re songs written during some crazy peaks and valleys and I think that makes it a very relatable record. A lot of anger, a lot of venting and a few receipts (maybe…) but there’s a pretty good sense of humor kept within the lyrics throughout. The musicianship of the guys involved is as incredible as you’d expect from them, it was amazing having the songs come together with guys that have the ability that these guys do... and then having Dizzy sign on for the final two songs I was tracking made all the time that it took to get to this point worth it.” - Stephen Chesney
THOUGHTS ON THE RECORD
“I had such a blast playing on this record,
Ray Luzier is so awesome on drums and Stephen played some spectacular guitar on his great songs. I’m glad I could be a part of this!”
- Billy Sheehan
ON THE BAND COMING TOGETHER
“Stephen called me and said hey so i’ve got this idea and these guys in mind to put a band together for a record so I said whats in it for me? - He said he’d buy me a lap dance from a stripper and take you to Buc-ee's to buy beef jerky and I said you know what when you put it that way... by god I’m in.” - Eric Dover

RAVEN BLACK RAVEN BLACK UNVEILS HAUNTING NEW SINGLE “DEATH WALTZ” – A MACABRE MASTERPIECE OF METAL A
Prepare to enter the carnival of shadows. The twisted, theatrical, and unapologetically fierce metal band RAVEN BLACK has returned from the depths of the underworld to unleash their latest sonic nightmare: “DEATH WALTZ.” A hypnotic blend of gothic horror, symphonic metal, and psychotic storytelling, this track is more than just music—it's a dance with death itself.
Driven by thunderous guitar riffs, spine-chilling orchestral layers, and Raven’s haunting, operatic vocals that shift seamlessly into guttural growls,
“DEATH WALTZ” invites listeners into a fever dream where nightmares pirouette in time to a sinister rhythm. It's a track that blurs the line between performance and possession.
This release marks a new chapter for RAVEN BLACK—a darker, more intense evolution of their already infamous sound. Produced by Ulrich Wild (Static-X, White Zombie, Deftones), the single showcases the band’s signature fusion of metal mayhem and circus macabre, with a cinematic flair that could summon the dead to dance.
Meet RAVEN BLACK, a theatrical metal act originally from Los Angeles. Their unique brand of metal, influenced by gothic, classical, and heavy metal music, serves as the soundtrack to vocalist Raven's duality as she shares her story of being a hybrid of both dark and light.
Drawing from a myriad of musical inspirations, RAVEN BLACK expertly blends elements from their favorite art forms, including movies, ethnic backgrounds, and personal life experiences. Each song is crafted to take fans on an adventure, offering new perspectives and understandings. Their sound ranges from melodic to dark, fun to raging and psychotic—yet every track tells a story.
At the heart of their narrative lies a comic book character: a girl whose innocence was taken at a young age. Overcoming her demons and cursed by her predators, she discovers she is half human, half doll. The doll within her is dark, and as she embraces her inner darkness, she travels with her demons who protect her from those seeking to steal her inner power.
She is the key.
