Raven Lord is a multinational heavy metal band founded by Csaba Zvekan[1] (Exorcism, Killing Machine, Sardonyx, Emergency). The band recorded their debut album, Descent to the Underworld, in 2012. It was mixed by Fredrik Nordström and mastered by Maor Appelbaum.[2]
Their musical genre is heavy metal, but also includes neo classical and power metal influences. Zvekan cites bands including Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and Yngwie Malmsteen as influences.[3]
Band membership has changed many times prior to the announcement of their touring line up.[4] Around September 2012, the band announced that Joe Stump had joined the band as a full-time member.[5]
On October 27, 2012, the band announced they had been signed by Mausoleum Records for a two-album deal.[6]
