Coming to the attention of NWOBHM pioneers Neat Records, a power-trio were formed when John Gallagher on bass and vocals and Mark Gallagher on lead guitar, joined forces with drummer Rob “Wacko” Hunter, releasing debut 45 ‘Don’t Need Your Money’ in 1980, followed by debut LP ‘Rock Until You Drop’ in 1981. Successfully capturing the energy of their live shows, the album picked up instant champions across the influential UK rock press, rewarding them with key features in Kerrang! and Sounds.\u003cbr\u003eThese would lead to tours with Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake and Motörhead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese self-styled “athletic rockers” were a huge influence on future thrash and speed metal bands, such as Slayer, Megadeth and early touring partners Metallica. Becoming a big crowd draw, Raven did what they do best, and hit the road, exemplified by their live album, ‘Live At The Inferno’, released in 1984. Their last album for Neat Records before signing a major deal with Atlantic Records in the States, ‘Live At The Inferno’ cherry picks their biggest hitters from their early 45s and first three Neat albums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJumping forwards by more than a decade, ‘Destroy All Monsters: Live In Japan’ (CD2) was recorded in 1995 at Tokyo’s famed rock venue, Club Citta. Though the set does have a concentration of their early New Wave Of British Heavy Metal days, latter rockers such as ‘For The Future’, ‘Architect Of Fear’ and ‘White Hot Anger’ get a well-deserved airing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs much as Raven had been a huge influence on the metal and thrash of the 1980s, the roots of the band lay in the classic hard rock and even the heavier end of glam of the 1970s. Raven were able to pay homage to their heroes across eleven cover versions on ‘Party Killers’ (CD3), including the rock classics ‘Fireball’ (by Deep Purple), ‘Bad Reputation’ (by Thin Lizzy) and finishing off with the ‘Ziggy Stardust ‘classic, ‘Hang On To Yourself’ (by David Bowie).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDISC ONE:\u003cbr\u003eLIVE AT THE INFERNO (1984)\u003cbr\u003e1 I Don’t Need Your Money\u003cbr\u003e2 Break the Chain \/ Hell Patrol\u003cbr\u003e3 Live at The Inferno \/ Crazy World\u003cbr\u003e4 Let It Rip\u003cbr\u003e5 I.G.A.R.B.O.\u003cbr\u003e6 Wiped Out\u003cbr\u003e7 Fire Power\u003cbr\u003e8 All for One\u003cbr\u003e9 Forbidden Planet\u003cbr\u003e10 Star Wars\u003cbr\u003e11 Tyrant of The Airways\u003cbr\u003e12 Run Silent Run Deep\u003cbr\u003e13 Intro\u003cbr\u003e14 Live at The Inferno\u003cbr\u003e15 Take Control\u003cbr\u003e16 Mind Over Metal\u003cbr\u003e17 Crash Bang Wallop\u003cbr\u003e18 Rock Until You Drop\u003cbr\u003e19 Faster Than Speed of Light\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDISC TWO:\u003cbr\u003eDESTROY ALL MONSTERS LIVE IN JAPAN (1995)\u003cbr\u003e1 Victim\u003cbr\u003e2 Live at the Inferno\u003cbr\u003e3 Crash!
