Reaver

About Me

Biography:
Reaver is the musical meanderings and mental construct of a mad scientist named Raziel. Reaver combines the synths and danceable beats of harsh EBM, the textured dystopian soundscapes of electro-industrial and the melody of darkwave with the distorted vocals and wall of sound production of black metal to create a dark electronic experience intense beyond all aeons.
In late 2008, Reaver signed to the Radio-Active-Music record label, and a few months later released the much-acclaimed debut album, Eternal Psychonaut. Shortly after, Raziel enlisted the help of two of Hampton Road's top scene DJs as members of the live ensemble. The band is currently booking shows in the region in support of their recent release.
Brace yourself.
