Multinational
Heavy Metal group RAVEN LORD have just added JOE “Speed
Metal Messiah” STUMP to their illustrious ranks.
Joe
Stump (Holy Hell, Reign of Terror) joins forces with Csaba
Zvekan (Killing Machine, Sardonyx, Emergency) – Vocals, George
Karafotis (Vermillion Days, Operation X) – Guitar, Jamie
Mallender (Tony Martin Band, ex-Black Sabbath) – Bass Guitar
and Lawrence “Larry” Paterson(Blaze Baley, Stuka Squadron) –
Drums, to complete the band’s line-up in royalty of rock style.
Jamie
Mallender had the following to say on the matter, “I can barely contain
my excitement. I am a huge fan of Joe’s, so when Csaba asked me what I thought
about asking him to play for us I jumped at the chance to work with the finest
exponent of the rock guitar virtuoso playing style. Joe
Stump has quite a considerable catalogue of excellent solo releases
under his belt – both instrumental and with Reign Of
Terror, Holy Hell and a long list of guest
appearances. He is also a renowned guitar teacher with his own series of
instructional releases available on “Shred Academy” and brings
to the band a wealth of touring experience. RAVEN LORD sounded
like an exciting prospect before, but now with Joe on board things are shaping
up to be a true force to be reckoned with and one can only await the release of
their debut album with bated breath and sweaty little Heavy Metal hands.”
RAVEN
LORD’s singer and founder Csaba Zvekan had to say
“Knowing that Joe Stump is in the band means a great deal to me
as now RAVEN LORD has a strong foundation for the future. As
well as for touring and for future recordings. Joe’s playing is stunning and
with him in our ranks we step up to another level. They don’t call him the
“Shredlord” for nothing. ”
Joe
Stump in his own words on joining Raven Lord: “I was
recently approached by Csaba Zvekan and the RAVEN
LORD guys about the possibility of joining the ranks. Needless to say
after hearing Csaba’s voice as well as the the sound of the band I was sold.
I’ve been at this a very long time and I know quality metal when I hear it.
Looking forward to working with the fellas and of course bringing some serious
over the top shredding and fierce metal riffage to RAVEN
LORD.”
Raven
Lord are priming themselves to deliver metallic carnage across the
globe.
