1) Raven are an English heavy metal band, formed in 1974 by the Gallagher brothers, bassist and vocalist John and guitarist Mark. They have released fourteen studio albums to date, and had a hit with the single "On and On". Often referred to as "athletic rock", the band gained notoriety as part of the early-to-mid 1980s new wave of British heavy metal scene and is considered to be an influence and inspiration on development of the thrash metal genre, including bands such as "the big four" (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax), as well as others like Testament, Exodus, Overkill, Kreator, Sodom, Onslaught, Death Angel, Flotsam and Jetsam, Coroner, Annihilator, and Razor. Raven are also notable for headlining Metallica's first-ever national tour in 1983.
They are associated with the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, that formed in 1975. They also opened for punk bands The Stranglers and The Motors. They had a hit with the single "On and On", and refer to their music as "Athletic Rock." Formed by brothers John and Mark Gallagher, Raven quickly set the pace for the burgeoning metal renaissance in the UK at the time. Raven began creating a sound which was rooted in British hard rock with progressive tendencies and a willingness to take musical chances . The band's highly energized live show and interaction between members developed an image and style of play the band described as "athletic". They began wearing guards, helmets and plates from various sports (hockey, baseball,etc...) and incorporating them into the playing of their instruments (for instance, elbow pads were used to strike cymbals for a unique performance angle). Eventually, the band signed with Neat Records, the legendary, low-budget metal label of the Northlands, releasing Wiped Out and Rock Until You Drop within a year's time and making an impressive showing on the UK charts a the time. Sufficient noise was made for the American market to take notice and New Jersey's Megaforce Records signed them, issuing their next recording in the States as All for One. The band came stateside in 1983 and toured extensively with Megaforce bands Metallica and Anthrax, both of whom would gain a place of prominence in the growing thrash metal movement. Manager/Megaforce founder Johnny Zazula believed that Raven were major label material and kept them touring constantly until the big labels noticed. The infamous Live at the Inferno recording was a product of one of those tours. Atlantic Records signed Raven to a worldwide contract after a minor bidding war (major label contracts would follow for Metallica and Anthrax in the following year). The band moved its permanent base from Newcastle to New York.
Stay Hard was released in 1984 and proved a minor hit on the strength of single/video On and On. The Atlantic years proved to be less-than-stellar for the band. A drastic shift in a more "commercial" direction came at the label's behest, with many diehard fans being alienated by the slick, lightweight production of The Pack Is Back (effectively marketing the band with their weird musical forays and confusing image was likely very difficult). However, the band recorded 2 LPs and the Mad EP before being let go by Atlantic. After touring behind the Life's a Bitch album, Wacko left the band to spend more time with his new wife and family. He would later pursue a career in audio production and engineering, eventually working with jazz greats Branford Marsalis and Harry Connick, Jr. Virginian Joe Hasselvander (ex-Pentagram) took over the drum set and the band dropped the outlandish image for a more conventional "denim and leather" look for their 1988 release Nothing Exceeds Like Excess. After the advent of grunge and the dissolution of their record label (Combat Records) led the band to concentrate on continental Europe and Japan, where they retained more of a following. The band recorded and toured until 2001, when a wall collapsed on Mark, crushing his legs. Raven went on hiatus for nearly 5 years while the guitarist rehabilitated. As of 2006, Raven is touring again. Raven released their fourteenth studio album, 'Metal City', on 18 September 2020. It marked their first studio album in five years, and their first to feature Mike Heller on drums. In 20022, Raven re-released their debut album Rock Until You Drop (1981) as the 4 CD 'Rock Until You Drop - The 4CD Over The Top Edition'.
2) NOISE from Serbia.
3) Raven is an Austrailian MC making his mark in Aussie Hip-Hop. He has recently dropped his debut solo release "Humble Beginings." Raven a member of the highly regarded Hungry Humans collective (who is;Thorts, Aeteacix, Geko, Budsa, Sesh, Aksis one, Fatty Phew & Autism) and co-founder of the Lost Soulz.
4) RAVEN is a solo project by Terui Toshiyuki (照井利幸), bassist of Blankey Jet City and ROSSO. In 2003, RAVEN released one album, Kagirinaku aka ni chikai kuro (限り無く赤に近い黒), most notably featuring Chiba Yusuke of thee michelle gun elephant and ROSSO on vocals for most of the tracks.
5) Raven is Czech artist and multiinstrumentalist Vladimír Kučera (*1966), who's released four albums so far - Bubny a píšťaly (1991), Salome a další písně Karla Kryla (1993), Harmonie (2002) and Kamení (2006).
6) Raven was an influential band from Buffalo, N.Y., in the 1960s. Raven began as Stan Szelest's backing band in Stan and the Ravens, which featured Tom Calandra on bass and Gary Mallaber on drums. When Stan and the Ravens broke up, Calandra and Mallaber joined a band called The Rising Sons with vocalist Tony Galla, guitarist John Weitz, and pianist/keyboardist Jimmy Calire.
Raven manager Marty Angelo, trying to book gigs for the band outside of Buffalo, met Jimi Hendrix at Steve Paul's Scene in New York City in 1967. Hendrix was so impressed with the tape he heard, that he convinced the club's owner to book Raven. Later that same year, Angelo sent the same tape Hendrix had heard to Beatle George Harrison. Harrison sent a letter back to Angelo which expressed an interest in signing Raven to Apple Records.
7) Raven is a black metal band from Norway, formed in 1993. Their demos were released under the name Ravn. Born in 1993, these recordings are a piece of history of True Norwegian Black Metal, involving Rune Vedda, one of the Forgotten Woods masterminds. “TMS” proves the unbelievable primeval strength that this revolutionary genre can express. All blacksters simply can’tignore this milestone... And today’s wannabe extreme listeners may be affected both by vicious, sick and abrasive feelings of sharpened guitars and by a kind of inhuman atmosphere pervading the whole album. Far from today’s music standards and double-faced sound professionalism, conceived when Black Metal was just instinct and hunger and to express the dramatic and primeval force of this genre, “The Murder Session” is not only one of the sickest releases ever from Norway, but also proves and “reports” how a direct musical approach has been the boundless strength of Black Metal since ever. Here’s where the word cult has to lie down, under the veil of the cold wind.
8) Raven is a project of the German band Sleipnir.
9) Raven is a heavy blues rock band from Ohio, who released one, ultra-rare LP, 1975's "Back to Ohio Blues".

11) Raven is a thrash metal band formed in 2007 in Kicevo, FYROM.
12) Raven (aka little_raven and aka Corvus Mellori), music experimenteur from Córdoba, Argentina. Founder of The Guanoson (ns loli ambient), Princesita (experimental/cybergrind), Some Australian Monkey Known as Koala (electronica) and Notre Père (black metal), co-founder of Proyecto de Prueba (dark ambient/drone) and Waremehime (8-bit pop), and member of Void>Null (drone doom), among other solo projects that will never be revealed to small-minded earthlings.
13) Raven are a UK based classical string quartet that includes Stephenie Benedetti (violin) (sister of Nicola Benedetti), Kirsty Mangan (violin), Natalie Holt (viola) and Rachel Lander (cello).
14) Raven are an experimental noise act from Cacak, Serbia.

15) Rob Barrick was a founding member of Raven, a Celtic folk group. With three albums to their credit(Indoor Driving ~ A Soft Wind Blows ~ Christmas Album), plus a unique collaboration CD with Ann Gray's group, Seanachie, "Five Days in April", the band developed a major following in the Northwest(Oregon).
Other members were Thom Dudley - guitar and vocals, Dan Compton - fiddle, guitar, accordion, Laurie Byers, vocals.
16) Originally from Terre Haute Indiana, members of Raven played and toured with bands such as Reo Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, Dan fogelberg etc.. George Phelps who had joined The “Carnations” met up with “Goliath” members in a studio and through a myriad of circumstances, teaming up with drummer Robert Wolff (ex “Micah”) these musicians merged into “Raven” in Louisville KY in late 1972. From this moment on, the band toured extensively through 24 states non-stop for the next 4 years before recording this material in 1976, unreleased until today.
The material was recorded in Atlanta Georgia at a studio called “The Sound Pit” Memories of going into the studio at night and working until the sun came up and feeling like I was floating on a cloud because it sounded so good (Doug – Raven’s keyboardist) Soon after the recording was completed, Raven got a record deal with Capricorn records. 2 weeks later, they went bankrupt. The tapes were subsequently destroyed in a fire.
With Disco sound moving in during the mid seventies and with the bankruptcy of Capicorn records, Raven was literalylike fish out of water, and slowly but steadily what had felt like the beginning of something unique, was lost.
Musically the album relies on a hard driving Progressive sound with a very rhythmic approach filled with virtuoso guitar & keyboard solos as well as pulsating bass lines in a hard-rock backing. Think Primus meets Emerson, Lake & Palmer with a touch of Yes, Deep Purple, Rush and Dream Theater. ..Features Robert Wolff previously with Micah and currently with Corvus Stone. Finally Who do you see sees the light of day 37 years after being recorded.
17) Raven-Symoné began using the mononym Raven as of 2019 with the release of her EP '33000'. Archival LP released on Golden Pavilion Records: GP1020LP

Raven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up to here with promises
No, we can't take no more
It's time to take what we can get
And even up the score
Rising to the challenge
Take our chances with both hands
Take control, ain't gonna lose it
Gonna take control now
Take control, ain't gonna lose it
Gonna take control now
Work my fingers to the bone
We're fighting tooth and nail
Our backs may be against the wall
But there's no way we can fail
Rising to the challenge

Take control, ain't gonna lose it

We're watching and we're waiting
In position lying low
We're too far gone to go back now
It's now or never, go
Scorched earth lies behind us
As we assume commands
We're going up and we won't ever stop
It's time we made a stand
Rising to the challenge

Line by Line Meaning
Up to here with promises
Tired of empty promises and false hope
No, we can't take no more
Reaching breaking point and refusing to endure more of the same
It's time to take what we can get
Making the most of opportunities available now
And even up the score
Restoring balance and justice
Work my fingers to the bone
Working extremely hard and tirelessly to achieve goals
We're fighting tooth and nail
Fighting fiercely and with great determination
Our backs may be against the wall
Facing adversity and challenges
But there's no way we can fail
Believing in the possibility of success
We're watching and we're waiting
Being vigilant and ready for opportunities
In position lying low
Being strategically positioned, waiting for the right moment
We're too far gone to go back now
Being fully committed and unable to turn back
It's now or never, go
Being aware of the importance of seizing the moment and taking action
Scorched earth lies behind us
Having left behind destruction and chaos in pursuit of progress
As we assume commands
Taking charge and leading with authority
We're going up and we won't ever stop
Being determined to succeed and never give up
It's time we made a stand
Taking a firm position and standing up for oneself
Take control, ain't gonna lose it
Being in charge and not willing to let go
Gonna take control now
Taking charge and seizing opportunities now
We're gonna take, take control
Striving to be in control and take charge
We're gonna take control now
Taking control of the present and future

Another great Raven song. The first time I heard this was when I was going to see Raven at The Paradise with some of my "Brothers In Steel".
Peter Eriksson
So powerful great song
DHT&E
I KNOW RIGHT super powerful
HarvesterOfStorms
I saw Raven at some hole in the wall place in Norfolk VA back in 2010 and it was an absolutely incredible show. They opened with this one and it was absolutely killer. Plus they were super cool and chilled with the fans afterwards. Raven rule!
Frank Roskam
listening again in 2020 love it
