NWOBHM masters Raven will see their new album ExtermiNation aired in its entirety this Tuesday between 9-11pm EST on Matt O'Shaughnessy's WVOX Metal Mayhem show in New York. ''WVOX pays tribute to one of heavy metal's pioneers and British mega titans and Raven lunatics will hear their new album tracked from top to bottom with a special surprise too - John Gallagher will call into the broadcast and give commentary on the record and more,'' says host Matt O'Shaughnessy. Fans can hear the Raven Special Broadcast at WVOX.com and 1460 AM locally in New York.

Raven are celebrating their 41st year as a band with the new album, ExtermiNation, which was released in Germany on April 24, and will be out in Europe on April 27 and in North America on April 28 as a digipak version (incl. 1 bonus track), 2LP gatefold green vinyl version and download through SPV/Steamhammer. Marking their first new album in five years, Raven have launched the new video for the song “Battle March/Tank Treads (The Blood Runs Red)”.

Metal’s “three musketeers” have had an exciting 2014 – opening for Metallica (the band Raven took on their first tour back in 1983) in Sao Paulo in front of 70,000 fans, and completeing a 43 date headlining USA tour – not to mention completing their finest album to date – ExtermiNation “combines the melody/chaos/musicianship/lunacy that defines the band with songs that are simply the best they have done in decades,” according to a press release. Rivaling the “holy trinity” of  those early albums, and again working with the engineering metal mastermind who is Kevin 131 (Walk Through Fire)  – the band have taken their game to the next level..this may well be their 41st anniversary but these guys are only just getting started!
