PURPLE VINYL
From BNR Metal Pages:
Once self-described as "athletic rock", Raven burst onto the NWOBHM scene as a bundle of energy, with a hyperactive metal style that was both representative of the period and yet undeniably original as well. Their first three albums are defining NWOHBM statements, truly essential purchases. With their stardom on the rise, they signed to Atlantic Records, and it all fell apart, the band apparently falling victims to various marketing/management decisions. Instead of cashing in on their energetic image, the new style wound up damaging the band almost irrepairably, the albums from that period lacking the spark and imagination that had made their first trio of albums so special. Eventually the Gallagher brothers righted the ship, with Pentagram drummer Joe Hasselvander replacing the popular Rob "Wacko" Hunter, and in the intervening years several quality albums have been recorded, albums that largely erase the Atlantic years but arguably still aren't quite up to those early classics. They're still together and still a popular act, particularly in Japan.
