UK hard rockers The Raven Age have dropped a new track, entitled 'The Day The World Stood Still,' ahead of the release of their second album which is out next month. The new song is the fourth track to be released from the new record, and and captures the essence of the band with soaring vocals, epic guitar solos and hooks which remain catchy despite the song's weighty sound.

The song follows ‘Surrogate’, ‘Betrayal of the Mind’ and the previous single ‘Fleur De Lis’, which has gained over 1 million streams on Spotify. All four cuts are lifted from 'Conspiracy,' the bands sophomore effort which will be issued via Corvid Records on March 8th.  

The band - comprising Matt James (vocals), George Harris (guitar), Tony Maue (guitar), Matt Cox (bass) and Jai Patel (drums) - is named after a collective of ravens and put forth 'Conspiracy' as a cryptic soundtrack to the immersive fantasy world they have created. Within they delve into historical myths and legends, re-telling stories through their music. Clues within the lyrics and artwork connect everything to a larger story and the future of The Raven Age.

The band have already garnered a solid live reputation after tours with Tremonit, Killswitch Engage and Shinedown, and they will support their new album with their biggest headline tour yet - with dates accross the UK and Europe opened by UK alternative quintet Defences. The UK dates include a show at London's Camden Underworld on March 8th.

Following this The Raven Age have the honour of supporting Iron Maiden on their North and South American leg of the ‘Legacy Of The Beast’ tour from July to October.
