RAVEN LORD Welcome POWER QUEST new album.

RAVEN LORD Welcome POWER QUEST Drummer Rich Smith To The Fold





International metallers RAVEN LORD have announced the addition of current POWER QUEST drummer Rich Smith to the group’s ranks.


The chance to challenge himself in a different field with Raven Lord
was an opportunity he did not want to miss. Rich will finish the two
shows for Power Quest’s farewell tour by the end of May.





Commented Smith: "I’m delighted to of been offered the throne to
drum for Raven Lord. I can’t wait to get in the rehearsal room with
these guys and hit the road to play some kick ass shows I’d like to
thank all the guys in the band and the management for this opportunity…”


Ex-drummer Larry Paterson on his decision to leave the band: "It is
meant as no disrespect to any of you at all – and I wish great success
for everybody. To cut a long story short, things are pretty tough right
now as I have another band , a book and a documentary to make. All of
this is running on a very tight schedule which WILL definitely get in
the way of Raven Lord…”


Singer and bandleader Cswaba Zvekan commented: "I’m saddened to see
Larry go from Raven Lord but if dates are clashing there is not much any
of us can do. The good thing is me and Larry Paterson will continue
working on another band project called EXORCISM which is expected to be
released in 2014. Well, you know what they say ; the show must go on!
And with Summer shows in the pipeline we had to act fast and find
another drummer as a permanent solution. Rich Smith is highly motivated
to be the next Lord drummer and with Power Quest calling it the quits it
was obvious that he was available for grabs. We took the opportunity
and welcome Rich Smith to Raven Lord."


The complete RAVEN LORD lineup is:


Csaba Zvekan (KILLING MACHINE, SARDONYX, EMERGENCY) – vocals

Joe Stump (HOLYHELL, REIGN OF TERROR) – lead guitar

George Karafotis (VERMILLION DAYS, OPERATION X) – guitar

Jamie Mallender (TONY MARTIN) – bass

Rich Smith (POWER QUEST) – drums

Alessandro Duo (VOODOO HIGHWAY) – keyboards
