About Me

DEAD RAVEN CHOIR is a horrid blight upon black metal and does great damage to credible black metal artists everywhere. Or perhaps it's keeping black metal alive and interesting. DEAD RAVEN CHOIR doesn't care which it is, just plays black metal covers of country and folk songs. The sound is much rawer, louder and harsher than reason or tradition would dictate. The instrumentation is built around bowed bass fiddle, distorted bass guitar, drums and screams. Here is a video for the song "Kigi Wa Haru" created by an anonymous fan of ours. The imagery has nothing to do with the lyrics, but nevertheless, whoever you are - thank you!
