LEGACY OF THE BEAST TOUR
August 8, 2019 - English melodic metalcore band The Raven Age have been taking North America by storm while on the road with Iron Maiden for the Legacy Of The Beast Tour this year. Delivering a live performance that combines both masterful musical skills alongside an electrifying stage presence, The Raven Age are leaving a lasting impression on fans across the US and Canada while looking forward to visiting South America later this year.
With just over two months left on the massive stadium and arena tour, the band is excited to continue to bring their unique melodies to life for fans. "It's awesome to showcase these songs on a big scale, we've dreamed big so will be making the most of it" shares Guitarist George Harris.
"We know how to present ourselves on a massive stage," agrees bassist Matt Cox. "For some bands, that can be intimidating. It was for us, to start with! But we've learned how good we are through it. We know how lucky we've been, a lot of bands would kill for the opportunities we've had, but we wouldn't be still here if we couldn't pull it off. We've supported everyone from Mastodon to Killswitch Engage to Gojira and have always held our own."
