With their new heavy rock album "2024", RAVENSTINE go one step further and present themselves musically even more mature and cohesive than on their self-titled debut. This time, John took over the main duties as composer, but all the band members contributed to the big picture. RAVENSTINE have remained true to their own style, the lyrics deal with topics that occupy them in their everyday lives, such as depression ("Black Is The Brightest Color"); about a lost homeland and the feeling that home no longer exists ("A Long Way Home"); the prospect of one's own demise ("When I'm Dead And Gone") or the possible connection between social media and mass shootings ("Killing Spree"). The band has also composed a flawless gem with their song "Fly Eagle Fly" that offers everything a hit needs: a good riff, a groove that grabs you and a killer chorus! Fans of ballads will also rejoice: While "Signs By The Roadside" thrives on its atmosphere, "When I'm Dead And Gone" comes along with a chorus that makes the listener hold up a lighter and move it from left to right.
