Multinational heavy metal band RAVEN LORD have signed a two-album deal with Mausoleum Records. The group’s debut album, Descent To The Underworld, is scheduled for a release January 25th release in Europe and February 12th in North America.

The complete track listing for the CD is as follows:

'The Rebel'

'Attila The Hun'

'Let The Show Go On'

'Seal Of The Cross'

'Settle The Score'

'Promised Land'

'Black Friar'

The new song 'Black Friar' can be streamed below.

The CD was mixed by acclaimed Swedish producer Fredrik Nordström (AT THE GATES, ARCH ENEMY, NIGHTRAGE, IN FLAMES, DREAM EVIL, OPETH) and mastered by US mastering engineer Maor Appelbaum (SEPULTURA, HALFORD, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ANGRA, DOKKEN). The cover artwork for the effort (see below) was made by Caio Caldas “CadiesArt“, who has previously worked with DORO, PAUL D’IANNO, SEVEN KINGDOMS, DOMINANZ and VIOLET SUN, among others.

Raven Lord just recently added Joe Stump (HOLY HELL, REIGN OF TERROR) as their lead guitarist to their ranks.

Unashamedly wearing their heavy metal roots on their leather-studded sleeves, RAVEN LORD combine the classic metal feel of the past with the fresh aggression of the present. Thunderous bass lines, pounding drums and explosive riffs blend with distinct heavy, melodic vocals to create driving and memorable songs.

Joe Stump (HOLYHELL, REIGN OF TERROR) – lead guitar
