The Raven Ride - Empire

The third Empire album released in 2006 features former Sabbath members Neil Murray & Tony Martin. Again, as with the other Empire albums, if you like the Tony Martin era of Black Sabbath, you're likely to like these. If you liked Empire & Trading Souls, you're due to like The Raven Ride. Definitely worth a listen. The opening track, "The Raven Ride" is one of the crunchier opening tracks I've heard in awhile.

It's available in the US, but it's unfortunately not sold domestically so you have to pay import prices. It can be a bit $$$ that way, but unfortunately this kind of music doesn't sell well in the US anymore, so record labels don't want to push it over here.

Hey Rolf, contact Sanctuary, or Eagle Rock - I know these guys distribute this kind of music in the US!
