Raven Black

A Voodoo Doctor "The Doctor" came across a girl who looked lost and scared. He used his magic to turn her into a doll, but his spell was disrupted from her terrifying and taunting screams, she remained half human, half doll. As Raven lived in the dark world of the Doctor, she secretly learned his magic and conjured up a demon, Muppet, who she made her eternal protector and trapped him inside her heart. The Doctor and Muppet created Stitches to search for those who are looking to join our dark metal carnival world in the 13th hour.

Raven Black released their first single "Died Inside" on September 7, 2013 at the Roxy, selling out the venue that night. They continued to work in the studio and released their first EP, Midnight Dreary in June 2014, successfully packed the house at the famous Viper Room. The band was previously managed by Aaron Rossi (Grammy Nominated Drummer of Ministry/Prong), AJR Enterprises and worked with Grammy-Winning Producer Logan Mader (SoulFly/Machinehead/Five Finger Death Punch).

In October 2014, they revamped their line up and began working with Grammy Nominated Producer Ulrich Wild (Rob Zombie, White Zombie, Alice In Chains, Breaking Benjamin, Pantera, Seether, Dethklok, Otep, and more) on their new album. They then spent the next two years writing and then released their single "Seven Sins" in April 2016 and their EP Seven Sins in September 2016. Raven Black played the Corona Hell and Heaven Festival July 2016 in Mexico City, Mexico with headliners like Rammstein, Twisted Sister, Ghost, Five Finger Death Punch, Mushroomhead, Selpultura, Alien Ant Farm and many others. To end their summer, they played the 2016 DirtFest Festival in Michigan with headliners, Killswitch Engage, Asking Alexandria, Hatebreed, Attila, Born of Osiris and many others.

Releasing their first Official EP with the new line up, Seven Sins EP dropped September 29, 2016 on the way out to tour with Mushroomhead, Sunflower Dead, Unsaid Fate and Death Division for Mushroomhead's Annual Halloween Tour. The 2017 year started very busy for Raven Black as they headed to Cleveland, OH to film their new music video with MonoBloc's Josh Apple and Andrew Sparks, for "Twinkle Twinkle Little Scars", premiered by Revolver Magazine on April 13, 2017. A little horror version of their already theatrical presence in the metal community. "We wanted to have some blood in this one," says Raven.

After a quick rest, Raven Black toured through the Southern parts of the U.S. on their way to SXSW. They played the Heart of Texas Rock Festival in March 2017, winning fans from across multiple genres at SXSW. Raven says, "I am so proud of being able to share our METAL music with other fans of country, hip hop and pop genres. I was so surprised and happy to see them buying our music. It was fun and the only thing missing was the big mosh pit, LOL, although there was a small handful of metalheads respresented this year at SXSW. "

After returning back home to Los Angeles, the band quickly prepared for their first Headliner Tour, The Hex O'Clock Tour, which kicked off in Guadalajara, Mexico at the Roadhouse Voodoo Bar, July 7, 2017 and returned to the U.S. to begin their onth long tour throughout the U.S. from coast to coast. The Hex O'Clock Tour was a complete success and the band was able to visit so many new cities throughout the country, see their fans and play so many new venues. Sharing with their fans, new stage props, a few new songs and announcing their new album 13 to be released early Spring 2018.
