RAVENS (France) demos 1983 & 1984 (Pre LP)

[malegys]

Here's some ancient French Heavy Metal courtesy of RAVENS. They released an LP in 1984, but both these demos precede that album. Recorded when they called themselves RAVEN, but changed their name to RAVENS just before recording their album. Tracks 1-6 are from the 1983 demo & tracks 7-12 from the 1984 demo. Personally, i think their 1984 demo is much better, heavier, better produced & played. The vocals get a bit annoying at times though. Ripped from a 1st generation copy cassette that's 32 years old, restored & mastered.If you like NWOBHM stuff like Tokyo Blade & Damascus, then you'll probably enjoy this.

Thanks !

I was missing track 1 of Demo 1 "Follow My Finger".
I also have cutted by the half last track "Never Together".

Also both your 2 rips sound WAY better than my 2 rips. Mine are a bit "muddy"...

Extra thanks for the info about the change of name from Raven to Ravens.
Cheers!
