Sometimes, things just speak -or scream, roar, shout, maim, wound, beat, pulverize and destroy- for themselves. Exhibit one? All

Hell’s Breaking Loose, the 15th studio album from Newcastle-born Heavy Metal pioneers Raven, is released on Silver Lining Music.

Founding Geordie brothers John Gallagher (lead vocals, bass, 12 string bass) and Mark Gallagher (guitar, backing vocals) have

seemingly entered a time-machine and regenerated their youthful selves, and with the fierce drumming of Mike Heller propelling

further power, All Hell’s Breaking Loose shows a band clearly bursting with fire, energy, power and pride in their standing as one

of the true forefathers of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

It is no understatement to say these are 10 'banger-after-banger' tracks, each with a tantalizing flurry of twisting NWOBHM riffery.

“Turn Of The Screw” bounces on the upbeats before smashing you with a thunderous chorus, “The Far Side” has as classic a metal

riff as you’ll hear in 2023, “Desperate Measures” is pure '81-saturated tales of hardship and despair, if you ever wondered what

Raven at the Marquee were like on a sweaty metal night in ’83, then “Edge of A Nightmare” is your portal to paradise, and “Go For

The Gold” (the finisher!) thunders as hard as the opener “Medieval”. Produced expertly by the band themselves at Heaven And

Heller Studios, All Hell’s Breaking Loose is 100% peddle to the heavy metal fun and escape back to the timeless future. Get into

yer denim and leathers, break out the bevvies and crank this mutha to 11!!!
