Band Information

Raven Black Night is an eclectic Adelaide doom band with similarities to Candlemass but whose style also incorporates elements of classic metal and classic 70s rock. The band was formed in 1999 by Petkoff from The Loving Tongue, Spencer from One Step Beyond, Amarino and The Godfather. After releasing a demo in 2000, the Godfather departed in place of The Jester who remained with the band until late 2002. Sheehan from Deluge (as Dragon's Breath) filled in for several months before Toscano joined the band. With this line up, Raven Black Night played in Sydney and at several festival events in Adelaide and recorded the Choose the Dark album that was eventually released in December 2005.

In late 2006, Spencer and Toscano left to be replaced by Hodgey and Sheehan and in July the following year, in tandem with Petkoff's other band The Loving Tongue, Raven Black Night toured throughout Europe, playing the Headbanger's Open Air festival in Hamburg and several other shows. Chris Dorian (Agatus, Zemial) joined the band during 2010 and Matt Enright of Black Orchid was enlisted to play drums on a new album, Barbarian Winter. Snagging a deal with Metal Blade, the album was released in early 2013. As Dorian is now based in Greece, Tom Petkoff appears with the band when playing in Australia.
