"The Raven's One Last Time E.P a total hybrid of European Goth/Industrial/Metal Haunting vocals and heavy guitar leads characterize most of the record, which is sure to be well received by anyone who appreciated 90's industrial. Song like "Firefies" draw immediate vocal comparions to bands like The Cure and Depeche Mode but muscially stay planted on the darker side of the spectrum. Solid instrumentation and production here certainly worth a spin." -AMP magazine
K17 / Berlin: Well done Gothicrock with catchy tunes. Is there an
album on it’s way!?
The Raven develops further, what bands like Him and Rasmus left at their best. Rocking Gothichymns with amazing stringarrangements meet driving and emotional singing style. The debut EP is just a lifesign, but already created a worldspanning fanbase for this unique artist.

FDC / Frankfurt: Never thought, I will hear a No Contract- band,
which impresses me like this one. This is how new Metal stuff
should sound like.
"With The Raven finally a promising newcomer to the Gothic Rock scene...The Raven injects new life into this genre..
Songs like “Fireflies” or “One Last Time” show that the Duo could stir up the scene"

"Davey Strehler indulges on the darker realms of Rock and is not afraid of Metal. Virtually carefree appear the songs on the debut EP “One Last Time” and offer a nice change in the music business, which is far too often geared towards sales." -Zillo Magazine
"THE RAVEN could become your new favourite drug, they’re addictive, seducing, painful, frisky, and won’t ever let you go again." -www.Reflectionsofdarkness.com
THE RAVEN uses itself music creatively because it soon becomes an addiction and the music continues to push itself from your head down to toes going into every crack in your body. Until your entire body is functioning on nothing but pure ‘One Last Time’ goodness, displaying in itself a well rounded work of craftsmanship with instruments that display a passion of intensity and guitar leads with riffs to balance it all out. -Reflectionsofdarkness
"The project of the Swiss Davey Strehler by birth has already further matured in short time than a lot of tapes decades of years older then him, and proves therefore in certain way the genius of his Mastermind." - www.nightshade-shop.de
Biograhpy
Davey Strehler started The Raven at a tender age of sixteen, he has been laying down the foundation for what will be a musical revolution. Where nothing is what is seems. Breaking the boundaries of genres and ending the stereotypes of anything. I am not Goth, I am not metal, nor anything else, I am The Raven. Find out for yourselves and be ready to let go of all prejudgment and join this musical revolution. “I don’t believe in labels I only believe in music, and to truly bring out your heart into notes one must kill your ego.” Its not about pleasing a certain audience it is not about sticking out, it is not about image, it simply about giving the world something that is not at all conventional.
