The Raven Age is the opening act for the current Maiden tour. I'm seeing them at the end of July. I checked out a couple of songs on YouTube and they weren't bad, but not something I thought I needed to hear more of.
Perhaps seeing them live will change my opinion. Or perhaps I'll be too busy tailgating to bother. Jury's still out on that one.
And yea, Bruce's son Austin's band, Rise to Remain, has broken up.
