British NWOBHM band Raven has been working on their upcoming original album called ExtermiNation, slated for an early 2015 release. It has been five years since the last opus released by this band, Walk Through Fire has seen the light of day. As a bonus, the band has found the time in the pre-production sessions for the new album to record several covers for a covers album entitled Party Killers. Although no more details have been revealed until now, we can expect to hear covers like "Ogre Battle" from Queen as well as "In For The Kill" from Budgie.

Vocalist and bassist John Gallagher comments: "We were writing for the new album at a cool studio in Richmond, VA, and in the middle of jamming asked the engineer there if we could record a few cover tunes just for the hell of it. The sounds were so good we decided to do something we'd been threatening for many years: 'Party Killers' - a collection of cover tunes guaranteed to deafen yer neighbors! It's basically a peek into the little red 45rpm singles box we used to have at home...songs and bands that were very influential to us as kids, but given the Raven overhaul! I think it gives a nice insight to our roots and will be an excellent companion to the new album!"

You can help fund the new album on their Kickstarter campaign.

So, other than an original album that is coming soon, you will be able to hear a covers album as well. Curious to hear new Raven material?
