Hailing from Newcastle, it seemed inevitable that they would sign to Newcastle-based New Wave Of British Heavy Metal label Neat, alongside other NWOBHM luminaries Venom, Fist and White Spirit. A big influence on future thrash metal legends such as Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, their highly energised form of speed metal became known &ldquo;athletic rock&rdquo;, a genre that would extend to the band wearing of baseball and American football apparel on stage. Their full-length debut, the self-explanatory &lsquo;Rock Until You Drop&rsquo;, was released to much acclaim in 1981, finding champions in the pages of Sounds and Kerrang! magazines. Further cementing their reputation as influential metal legends, second record &lsquo;Wiped Out&rsquo; was issued in 1982, kicking off with 'Faster Than The Speed Of Light' and including 'Live At The Inferno'. 1983's &lsquo;All For One&rsquo; on CD3 was co-produced by Michael Wagner and Accept lead singer Udo Dirkschneider, who also joined the boys for a cover of Steppenwolf classic &lsquo;Born To Be Wild&rsquo;, included here as a bonus track. Featured on CD4 is the seemingly inevitable double live album, &lsquo;Live At The Inferno&rsquo;. Across 19 tracks the album proudly states &ldquo;THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO OVERDUBS ON THIS ALBUM!!&rdquo; Following its release, Raven would sign a major label deal with Atlantic Records, relocating to the States for further fame and fortune, with the band still regularly gigging and releasing records today. Bonus tracks include 'Wiped Out', the &lsquo;Crash Bang Wallop EP&rsquo;, 'The Ballad Of Marshall Stack', 'Inquisitor' and 'Power And The Glory', as well as an extensive liner note from renowned NWOBHM expert John Tucker.
