RAVEN doing the Kickstarter thing for new album...

Usually at Amazon if you order the regular version of any physical format with the AutoRip feature they send you the complete digital version including any "deluxe edition" or "special edition" bonus tracks. They make no distinction between the two versions on AutoRip. For instance, I ordered the standard jewel case edition of the Exodus Blood In Blood Out and I got the deluxe edition bonus track. Same thing with that Dio tribute from earlier in the year.

- "Too Bad Too Sad" (Nazareth)
- "Bad Reputation" (Thin Lizzy)
- "Cockroach" (Sweet)
- "Fireball" (Deep Purple)
- "Hang on to Yourself" (David Bowie)
- "He's a Whore" (Cheap Trick)
- "In For the Kill" (Budgie)
- "Is There a Better Way" (Status Quo)
- "Ogre Battle" (Queen)
- "Queen of My Dreams" (Edgar Winter)
- "Tak Me Bak Ome" (Slade)

Nice track listing. It's good to see them tackle something different instead of the usual suspects.

Hmmm, that just made the prospect of actually donating to Kickstarter that much more interesting.

I donated Saturday so I could get both albums.

I broke my Kickstarter cherry. I pledged today for both albums. Looks like they are about $1500 short of their $15,000 goal with just under a month to go, so it looks like a sure bet.

This was my first time for pledging to a band on Kickstarter, too.

John Gallagher reported on Facebook yesterday that they'd met the $15K goal for the new album. Woohoo!

Raven have released some clips from the Party Killers covers album:

They played a new song at the show Saturday night. I don't know the name, but it sounded like a fast Raven tune. Nothing shocking there I suppose.

Here's the new album cover...

Just got the notification from Kickstarter...asking for my shipping address as well as if I want my CD autographed by the band. Should be getting these in the near future!

Bukkake Tsunami Number of posts : 25557 Age : 53

Yea, I got my notification email this morning too. They haven't announced a formal release date other than "January", have they?

Not that I'm aware of, but the fact they are asking for a shipping address is very encouraging!

Same here. Responded. Can't wait. Bought the 2 CDs. Would have liked to have purchased the vinyl too, but you can't have everything I guess.

So unless it arrives in the next day or 2, I guess Raven's going to miss their projected release date of "January". Dang. Crying or Very sad

Raven deserves much respect. That should've been huge if only they didn't listen to the knuckleheads at Atlantic Records.

CRASH BANG WALLOP!

Release date announcement. It's rather awkwardly written but it sounds like the USA version will have a bonus track.

Raven wrote:: RAVEN are that rare thing in music: true originals. Cut these guys with a razor and they will bleed true heavy metal - a more intense live band does not exist on this planet! And now, after 5 years, the new album will hit the streets in April.

"ExtermiNation" will be released in Scandinavia on April 22nd, Germany on April 24th, in Europe on April 27th and the USA on April 28th, as a digipak version (w/1 bonus track) 2 LP gatefold green vinyl and download, through SPV/Steamhammer.

RAVEN are that rare thing in music, true originals – cut these guys with a razor and they will bleed true heavy metal - a more intense live band does not exist on this planet! And now, after 5 years since the last studio album, the new album will hit the steets in April.
"ExtermiNation" will be released in Scandinavia on April 22nd, in Germany on April 24th, in Europe on April 27th and in the USA on April 28th as a digipak version (incl. 1 bonus track), 2LP gatefold green vinyl version and download through SPV/Steamhammer.
In commemoration of Bon Scott`s death 35 years ago today, RAVEN release a snippet of their new song "Thunder Down Under".

This kinda pisses me off.

We, the Kickstarter contributers, were promised an album in January. We got an update asking if we wanted our copies signed, which I wrongfully assumed meant the albums were forthcoming. Then nothing. No updated emails. Silence. January and most of February goes with no updates.

Finally, they go and send a press release that the album isn't coming until April? A few days after that, I get an email saying that all copies were being delayed until the announced April release date. What the hell, man?

I understand that things happen that are out of the band's control, but stupid stuff like lack of communication and missing deadlines is making me distrust the whole Kickstarter thing. That bonus track better be included on my copy too or I'll really be pissed.
