September 12, 2025: If you thought Raven Black’s last album was a descent into madness, Black Sonata is the moment they start rearranging the furniture in hell. Produced by Ulrich Wild (Static-X, Deftones), this isn’t just another metal record: it’s a gothic fever dream where fairy tales get a knife to the throat and psychological horror waltzes with classical grandeur.
The band’s signature duality, heavy yet hypnotic, brutal but oddly elegant, has never felt sharper. Singles like “Cry of the Raven” (a siren call from the void) and “Dead” (the sound of a soul hitting rock bottom) aren’t just tracks; they’re chapters in Raven’s ongoing mythos. Think Avatar meets Repulsion-era Manson, but with a comic-book twist: a half-human, half-doll antiheroine dragging her demons along like a twisted entourage.
Black Sonata doesn’t just lean into Raven Black’s theatricality, it weaponizes it. The album’s strength lies in its refusal to pick a lane: one moment you’re swaying to gothic melodies, the next you’re getting your face melted off. Purists might scoff at the genre-blurring, but for those who like their metal with a side of narrative ambition, this is a carnival worth the price of admission.
