Raven Blayde
This is the profile page of solo artist Raven Blayde from Frankfort Ky. Raven Blaydes first instrumental heavy metal cd "On Black Wings" was released in September 2007. Raven Blayde is known for his lightning fast, (yet accurate) soloing with a very different style that sets him apart from the rest of the worlds guitarists. Since the release of "On Black Wings", Raven Blayde has began performing vocals as well. So, expect to see a new Raven Blayde cd release out soon with vocals this time around. Stay tuned!!

Yeah, that's how you get better, right? By experimenting. I went through countless vocal stages throughout the last few years in DarkWinter.. I have recordings where I sounded like James Labrie, Geoff Tate, Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, James Hetfield... the list goes on. I think in the Sun of Darkness recording posted on here, I sounded a bit like Ripper Owens. I think in the last year, though, I've really started to discover my own vocal style rather than trying to imitate other people. I can't wait to start recording more!

Haha, yea recording vocals can be difficult.  It has to be done on the right day, too. Some days I feel like I just can't get anything right.  When's your new release coming out?  I'm really looking forward to hearing it! What kinda vocals are you doing on it?

 

And here's a fan group we made, to keep people up-to-date with new material, if you want to join:

 

 (it won't let me copy/paste the link for some reason) But its on facebook, its called "DarkWinter Official" if you want to join.

 

We've been looking for a new drummer, I think we might have found one now, so we should be able to record some new stuff soon!

Have you checked out my myspace page yet? I have a couple of other tunes there if you'd like to give them a listen.  Still working on the new cd and if you liked "On Black Wings", you'll love the newer stuff I'm gonna be putting out.  I'll go check out your new tune now. Wink

AWESOME SONGS!! man, i listened to both of the other ones you had on your page, very dark, very heavy! i love it. I really like your guitar tuning, too.. its slightly flatter than most guitarists tune, so it makes it sound very dark and thrashy while still being in tune with itself. When you get your newer stuff out, make sure to post them on this site so I can add it to my favorite mp3s list!

 

Keep rockin!!
