Cold Raven: Origins
Cold Raven took form in 2013. From then on the first songs of a melodic yet obscure black metal were written. In December of the same year guitarist Vuall joins the band and they enter the studio at the end of May 2014. The first full length album, “Equilibrium & Chaos”, is recorded, mixed and mastered in three months. In December 2014 Cold Raven sign a deal with Sliptrick Records for the release and worldwide distribution of "Equilibrium And Chaos". In October 2016 Damien takes vocal duties instead of UrielRaka and in December they take part in the "Evil Over Europe" tour, supporting Belphegor, Possessed and Absu.
After the tour Tenebrio joins Cold Raven as the new singer and the band starts to write new material, something more mature and complex but still recognizable as the old songs. The new album is called "In Tenebris Silvam" and came out in January 2020. A live album from the 2016 tour and two cover songs, "Gates To Hell" from Obituary and "Sworn To The Dark" from Watain came out on Spotify and YouTube. In 2025 Cold Raven signed a deal with Ad Noctem records, and in the same year three singles were recorded and published; the new album will come out in 2026.
So far the band has played with important acts in the underground scene, such as Nargaroth, Infernal War, Absu, Necromass, Dark Funeral, God Dethroned, Belphegor, Unleashed, Mortuary Drape, Impaled Nazarene, Imperium Dekadenz, Possessed etc..., and has played in several countries including Italy, France, Switzerland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Malta and Germany.
