"Raven X has really impressed me with their obvious talent and unique vision on "Essence Without Light". The album presents so many interesting facets of sounds of songwriting with the utmost clarity and consistency, and all the while effectively blending the elements of Goth and Death metal to perfectly compliment one another."

-Quote from the Femme Metal Webzine facebook post:
"Ohio's RAVEN X's debut is a ticking bomb! Although they can be tagged as Gothic Death metal "Essence Without Light" is able to "cross over into other areas like thrash and progressive metal". And this makes Raven X a band that "are not bound by restrictions at all" (90/100)"

Raven X interview with RealSoundsOK!!

Your names: 
Khâos - all music & instruments.
Nÿx - all lyrics and vocals.

Where are you from? 
Ohio, USA.
 
Name of band: 
Raven X.

How would you describe yourselves?  

Nÿx: The music takes you on so many different emotions. I don't think there is just one label to put us under. It's strong and in your face at times, but it also changes and takes you to a completely different ride at times.  

Who are your main influences musically? 

Nyx: I have so many!!! Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth, Karyn Crisis from Crisis, Anneke Van Giersbergen, Bjork, Ihsahn.  
Khâos: Ihsahn, Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree, Starofash, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. 

What do you hope to achieve in music? 

Nÿx: All of it! hahaha. I just hope people enjoy this CD enough to keep going back to it. To play Raven X live is definitely another dream also.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?  

Khâos: The release of our debut CD "Essence Without Light" would have to be the highlight so far. After years of work, to finally see the day come that the album was released to the public was a very exciting day!! 

And what’s the moment you want to forget? 

Khâos: There is really nothing that I would like to forget. Everything we have gone through has helped us to learn and move forward. It hasn't all been fun, but I wouldn't change anything.

If you had to choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why? 

Khâos: It's tough to pick just one because each of our songs have a different quality to them. We really tried to make an album that didn't sound the same from track to track. If I had to chose just one song. I would probably have to say it would be "Broken Light" because it contains many of the qualities and dynamics that are found in the other songs. 

Where can we listen to it?

Nÿx of Raven X on the Women Of Metal Show

Saturday April 20, 2013

Nÿx of Raven X was the guest interview on the Women of Metal Show with Jayson Shell

Raven X interview with Metal Remains

MR: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC?
Nÿx: We have been asked this question a lot. Raven X definitely has many different feels and we try not to exclude anything. We didn't want it to be only heavy or only melodic. We describe our genre of music as "Gothic Death Metal".

MR: WHICH BANDS HAVE INSPIRED YOU WITH YOUR MUSIC?
Khâos: My influences are very wide in range. I listen to everything from Black Metal to Classical to Shoegaze. I would say some of my main influences are Ihsahn, Steven Wilson, Mozart and Back Sabbath. I think a little of everything I listen to has an influence on my song writing, but my main objective is to play what I feel within.
Nÿx: There are so many bands/musicians that inspire me. Karyn Crisis (Crisis), Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy), Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth), Ihsahn (Emperor) …the list goes on and on.

MR: HOW DID THE BAND GET IT'S NAME?
Nÿx: Raven X was originally the name of the girl in the song "Immortal Beloved" who loved her man so much that she never wanted him to leave her. So, she killed him and buried him in the backyard. The girl got her name from the combination of the words "Raven" meaning "black" and the letter "X" standing for a "kiss" at the end of a love letter. Together the words translate to the "kiss of death" which describes the girls actions in the song. We decided that we really like the name, so we decided to use it as the band name.

MR: WHO DOES THE WRITING FOR THE BAND?
Khâos: Nÿx writes all of the lyrics and performs all of the vocals. I write all of music and perform all of the instruments. I also handle all of the production work for Raven X.

MR: WHAT IS THE BAND CURRENTLY WORKING ON?
Khâos: Right now we are basically promoting the debut album "Essence Without Light" and trying to reach as many people as possible with our music. We are also moving forward with our record label, Bat Zuge Records and we are currently negotiating with a couple other bands to sign them to our label.

MR: ANY GIGS COMING UP?
Nÿx: It would be a dream come true to find people to play live but at this time the bands only members are Khâos and I, so this makes it impossible to play live shows.

MR: WHERE DO YOU SEE THE BAND IN A YEAR FROM NOW?
Khâos: The future for Raven X is a little uncertain. We would like to eventually complete a live lineup to perform shows, but at this time it is not the priority. We have some ideas started for the next Raven X album and we will probably start pre-production for the next album in the fall.

MR: WHERE CAN PEOPLE FIND YOUR MUSIC?
Raven X: Our bands pages can be found virtually on all of the social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Reverbnation, etc. Also,the Raven X debut album "Essence Without Light" can be found at all of the following links:
