Details Of New Album "The Cycle Never Ends" Revealed By Ravensire

Portuguese epic metal heroes Ravensire have issued details on the band's upcoming new release "The Cycle Never Ends." The album is set to drop on February 12th via Cruz Del Sur Music. "The Cycle Never Ends" will be released on compact disc, vinyl and digital formats.

Ravensire’s sound is genuinely devoted to the likes of Omen, old Manowar, and Brocas Helm. Formed around 2010, Ravensire has built a strong reputation in the European Underground Metal movement with the two previous releases "Iron Will" (2012) and "We March Forward" (2013). Both albums have been highly acclaimed by fans of epic metal, giving the band the boost to improve even further the songwriting process on "The Cycle Never Ends."

From the cover artwork (strongly recalling John Buscema’s black and white art for the “Savage Sword of Conan” 70s comic - an appropriate reading to get along with Ravensire’s music!) to each one of the eight songs, "The Cycle Never Ends" shows the band reaching maturity through an astonishing intense performance, leaving no place for weakness.

Among more direct tracks such as the opener "Cromlech Revelations" and "Crosshaven" the album’s highlight is definitely the "White Pillars" trilogy, described as "a monumental epic piece connected to the history of Sintra, famed city not far from Lisbon. At the coastline, archaeologists dig the ruins of a watchtower built in the 16th century. Contemporary manuscripts mention that, at the time, ancient written stones had been found (part I, 'Eternal Sun'). Under the ruins, they find the remains of a Moorish settlement, once subdued by the invading army of King Sigurd of Norway in the beginning of the 12th century (part II, 'Blood and Gold'). Finally, among the stones of the Moorish walls, the archaeologists find Roman altars and stones belonging to an ancient temple dedicated to the Sun, the Moon and the Ocean (part III, 'Temple at the End of the World')."
