Metal Kaoz has issued an audio interview with bassist/vocalist John Gallagher of NWOBHM legends RAVEN, who reveals that Raven will no longer be supporting DIAMOND HEAD on their North American dates in April. He also talks about the band's experience at the Up The Hammers festival, the upcoming DVD release, and the making of the next album.

Listen to the audio interview at this location.

Raven are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1983 album All For One with a string of US live dates dubbed All For One Forever.

"Wow, hard to believe but it was 30 years ago when we hooked up with mega producer Michael Wagener (and ACCEPT's Udo Dirkschneider who also appears on the album) to craft our breakthrough album All For One," said vocalist/bassist John Gallagher. "It's still one of our favorites and although we still play quite a few songs [from the album] live, on the upcoming dates we will squeeze a few more into the set as a celebration. We can't wait to dust them off, get out there and kick ass!"

Raven will play select dates on the All For One Forever tour where they will perform many tracks from the album, including some rarely or never performed live.

Dates with more to be announced include:

April

19 - Springfield, VA - Empire
20 - Pittsburgh, PA - Dead Horse Cantina
21 - Brooklyn, NY - St. Vitus Bar

May

11 - Freehold, NJ - Encore Event Center (with ANVIL, THE RODS)
