Exile as the follow-up to 2019's
Conspiracy album, which will feature two new original songs, one being the newly-released "No Man's Land," reimagined versions of past songs and a handful of live selections.
"The concept for
Exile is something we had been toying with for a while," said vocalist Matt James.
"We had done alternate acoustic style versions of songs before and the response was so positive it made us think about doing a whole album this way! Obviously, The Raven Age is first and foremost a metal band but due to the melodic nature of our songs they can lend themselves to this kind of treatment. We were pleasantly surprised how great so many of the songs sounded stripped back to their bare bones," he continued.
