The Band


A RAVEN'S SORROW has become known in Boston for its artistic and brutally honest music that focuses on the problems with life and existence. The band has found a home in Boston's art community and is planning a series of smaller tours to various art-oriented cities in the United States in 2012.

WHAT makes their music so different? The fact that it's not about the music at all. Hearing an A Raven's Sorrow album is an experience, taking you on a journey so unsettling and maddening it can be hard to handle. "I've actually had dates turn me down only after hearing this music," says member Jeff Glazier. "And we've lost band members who couldn't handle how incredibly depressing our music and message is. People have told me that what we're doing is the most depressing thing they've ever heard."

ALTHOUGH their music falls under the category of rock, it's certainly like nothing that's come before. While many albums have some level of orchestral arrangement, A Raven's Sorrow songs are actually "composed" in the classical sense. Explains Glazier: "It's not about a genre or a style or an approach. It's about creating something meaningful that hasn't been said before and that needs to be heard."

A RAVEN'S SORROW is currently in production of Chrysalis, an album that questions whether life is worth living and challenges conventional beliefs about what it means to be human. It is scheduled for release in Winter 2011. The band has also been working on a follow-up album, Hail Suicide, which explores solitude and social anxiety. It is scheduled for release in 2013.
