Raven w/ special guests SlackjawDoors: 26 April 2026 19:00
RAVEN are true heavy metal originals — raw, relentless, and unmatched live.Formed in Newcastle, England in 1974 by brothers Mark and John Gallagher, RAVEN became pioneers of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, releasing three genre-defining albums that helped shape thrash and speed metal — even taking Metallica and Anthrax on their first tours.
Through lineup changes, industry battles, near-fatal setbacks, and global stages, RAVEN only grew stronger. From cult classics to modern firestorms like ExtermiNation and Metal City, their energy remains untouchable. With powerhouse drummer Mike Heller now behind the kit, the band continues to push forward at full throttle.
In a world of manufactured bands, RAVEN are real — loud, honest, and unapologetically heavy.
Slackjaw is an American heavy metal trio from South Carolina, formed in 2017 when Dallas Young (vocals, rhythm guitar/bass) met lead guitarist Brady Riggenbach. Drummer Jacob Rigdon completed the lineup in 2021. Despite lineup changes, Dallas and Brady carried the band’s vision forward, handling multiple studio roles, with Brady performing drums on most recordings.
Driven by a shared love of Pantera and Black Label Society, Slackjaw quickly built momentum. Their debut single “Caught in the Crossfire” and first album Ritual of Dissonance earned strong acclaim and helped the band amass a dedicated online following — all without a label, management, or touring support.
Influenced by Pantera, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Meshuggah, Tool, and more, Slackjaw’s mission is clear: create heavy metal that stands the test of time
