The Finnish sextet head into this 4-track demo with Nocturnal Atmosphere, a fast melodic death metal tune which an almost catchy hook line. The sound is raw like at some black metal stuff... The keyboard of Sami Partanen also give it a touch of symphonic black metal, but they are more in the vein of their fellow countrymen Children Of Bodom. At Helljester's Path they is tending more to symphonic black metal with some death metal-like growls. The guys really offer some variety! Partly the guitars echo the keyboard melody, quite cool! Jere Pöyhönen and Joonas Pulkkinen are responsible for the heavy, precise riffs and the melodic lead parts. While Henry Hämäläinen handles the vocals - which range from almost clear vocals to growls, grunts and scolding parts! And this path they follow with Helljester's Path. Towards the end they have a heavy, melodic part which is catchy and has a folk touch. The last track kicks off slowly with keyboard... The gets heavier, but stays quite melodic and differs a bit from the others, even if there are some growls... But it shows Raven Claw a bit different. Very cool.
I recommend this one to fans of melodic death metal who like a bit of variety in their music. And there is no excuse for you not to check them out, coz you can download their demo from their website - or if you like demos then go to http://freemetalalbums.wordpress.com/
