Henrik Hedman (Celestial Decay, Last Kingdom)” to the group’s ranks.

heavyweight band members. The
line-up features: Csaba
Zvekan – Lead Vocals, Stefan Lindholm – Lead Guitar, Jamie Mallender –
Bass Guitar, Pontus Larsson – Keyboards, Henrik Hedman – Drums
Jamie Mallender (Bass), “Make no mistake, we have
made an album that’s gonna smack you in the face with both fists! This
is the record that has been missing from the Metal scene for far too
many years. But, despite the obvious anger and power of this music,
there’s a lot of melody and harmony in there and we wanted to bring in a
keyboard player that loved Metal, to compliment the melodic side, but
not water things down or get too Wakeman on our asses. Meet
Pontus Larsson,
who has filled this role perfectly, he’s done exactly what we wanted
him to and we are absolutely thrilled to have him onboard.”
Pontus Larsson (Vindictiv, Firecracker), “I was in the studio recording an album with
Vindictiv when I was asked to join
Raven Lord.
I was kind of busy, but after I listened to the songs and checked out
the band members it only took me 1 second to say yes! I’m proud to be a
part of the band! It’s great to play with all these talented musicians.
See ya out there! Rock on! The Lord of keys!”
The band has also been searching for a world class, powerhouse
drummer, with the right chops and staggering technical ability to make a
truly devastating rhythm section statement with this album. Enter
Henrik Hedman,
from Järvsö, a small village in the southern part of “Norrland”-
Sweden, who has previously played with the bass guitar virtuoso
Magnus Rosen.
Overjoyed at the new addition,
Csaba Zvekan (Vocals) had this to say, “
Henrik Hedman’s future is pretty clear he will be a big player in the music industry. We are fortunate to have him on board with
Raven Lord!”
Henrik Hedman
(Celestial Decay, Last Kingdom) is just as excited about the alliance,
“I feel a great honor and exaltation at having been invited to the
Raven Lord
family. My fellow musicians are all wonderful people, extremely
talented in their art and the creativity is overwhelming! No bullshit,
this is an old dream come true! The Raven has spread its wings, and it’s
heading your way! The Raven Lord of Thunder.”
RAVEN LORD are currently adding the finishing touches to the first album. and brace yourself for a killer of a
Metal album heading your way soon!
