Raven is a heavy metal band 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 in Newcastle, England 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".

RAVEN Music Reviews

RAVEN Mad

EP · 1986 · NWoBHM

1967/ 1976

"Mad" is a correct title for a Raven release. First because Athletic Rock sounds like something fast, almost punk, similar to thrash but more carefree. And in this sense if you listen to Raven this is sure good. In general today a band as Raven being part of Power Metal but in 80's Raven was good as NWoBHM.

In this case 5 songs of pure madness, shot in our ears without the certainty that this musical proposal indicating something serious. But I admire songs as "Do Or Die" or "Speed Of The Reflex".

In conclusion "Mad" is not a pure piece of madness applied to music, but the extreme attempt to be personal, trying to apply R'n'R to Heavy Metal.
