The Raven Age have announced the release of their second album, 'Conspiracy'.
Their sophomore LP and follow up to 2016's 'Darkness Will Rise' will arrive on March 8 via the British metallers' own label Corvid Records. Co-founder, guitarist and album producer George Harris explained:
"I’ve always been fascinated by the legend of the ravens of the Tower of London. The fact that the collective noun for ravens is a Conspiracy really inspired the album, the title and the artwork around it. In this fantasy world the ravens are actually being held captive at the Tower, they aren’t there of their own accord. Their wings have been clipped and they’re prisoners of the Tower to keep Britain from falling. This record develops the story with all sorts of twists and tangents."
The band have also revealed a new single, Fleur De Lis, which follows previously shared tracks Betrayal of the Mind and Surrogate. Check it out below along with the album's cover art and tracklist.
In further news, the quintet will support 'Conspiracy' with their biggest UK and European headline tour in March and April before joining Iron Maiden for shows across North and South America.
