About Me


Crayven is a hard rocking metal band from the centre of The Netherlands. Since the founding in 2006 by Simon and Rik, it has been constantly working on giving the metal scene a fresh new look. With heavy guitars, pounding drums and a soothing yet heavy voice the band tries to stand out from the rest.In the beginning the group started with nothing but an idea, an idea which quickly evolved in the The Beast demo and later after the arrival of guitar player Ivo, the group went on with releasing the Colosseum EP. In the recordings and live performances there is a steap and strong learning curve noticable.After the two homerecording demo's the group went into the studio's at SAE Amsterdam to finally bring out a matured and heavy demo that will sollidify there position in the Dutch metal scene.After a year of searching, in january 2009, the group finally found a second guitar player in an old schoolfriend: Pepijn! Reinforced and ready to rock the band will take to the stage as much as possible!Keep on rockin' in the free world and keep a close eye out for Crayven!
