Band Line Up 2013

Founded
in 2007 by vocalist Glyn the Heralder, Ravenage bring a Folk/Melodic Death
Metal hybrid featuring a band of hardy kinsmen including Elliot from Alestorm.

Glyn
commented "Five years ago, we made our début festival appearance on the
then Scuzz-sponsored New Blood stage. Since then, we've been blessed to have

played
many shows and festivals all over the UK and beyond. Nonetheless, the memory of
our Bloodstock performance is as fresh today as is it was in 2008

and for
all the right reasons. And thus we can humbly state that we are absolutely
thrilled and honoured to be returning to the UK's number one metal festival,

in fact
it's more than a festival, it is a sacred gathering, a Midgardian Valhalla, an
open-air mead hall but with More Beer!"

Ravenage
hail from East Yorkshire and play Epic Viking Metal!

They were
founded in 2007 by vocalist Glyn the Heralder, as a folky black metal band who
naturally progressed into a folky melodic death metal band.
In 2008, they released their debut EP ‘Hardrada’s Fall’ and toured the UK
extensively, supporting the likes of Waylander and Negura Bunget, and playing
well-received sets on the Scuzz Stage at Bloodstock Open Air and Gathering Of
The Clans Festival.

In 2009,
Ravenage supported Skyclad at the East Riding Rock Festival, and in 2010 they
headlined the first annual Pagan Pride festival in Nottingham and were joined
on stage by folk metal legend Martin Walkyier for a rendition of Spinning
Jenny. They also had several continental appearances, including Cork Winterfest
in Ireland, and Berco Fest in Portugal, alongside bands such as Skyforger,
Grand Magus and Hail Of Bullets.

In 2011,
Ravenage signed to Warhorns Records and released their long-awaited album
‘Fresh From Fields Of Victory’ to outstanding reviews, and toured the UK with
Nothgard and Celtachor.

This year
the band have recently gone down a storm at the Jorvik Viking Festival
supporting Try to a sold out audience, as well as playing alongside Skyforger
Wolfchant at the inaugural Warhorns Festival.

Ravenage
are currently in the process of writing their second full-length album.
