Ravens Creed

Ravens Creed are an English mythical death/thrash band with strong Venom/Celtic Frost/Exodus/Slayer influences, formed in late 2006 by Steve Watson and Jay Graham. Its members consist of members and ex-members of other English bands; after a string of EP and split releases (recorded at the band's own Tenko studios) the band released their debut album, Albion Thunder, in spring 2009 on Doomentia Records.

The band have played several festivals, including Hard Rock Hell, Bloodstock, and High Voltage Festival. In October 2011 Ravens Creed were handpicked by Fenriz of Darkthrone to appear at the second edition of Live Evil Festival in London. The band's next LP is to be called The Power and will be issued through Doomentia Records. In June 2010 the band announced the arrival of Al Osta as new vocalist.[1][2][3] The band recorded a four-song EP for Doomentia records in August 2010 and will begin recording the next album in late 2010/early 2011.
