When the moon is full, and your heart is dark, join us in the night. The Raven Black Night.

It was late 1999 in Adelaide, Australia when these four warriors of the night met. Without speaking they knew what had to be achieved. In their minds they had a plan to bring the world sounds of love, hate, war, peace, doom and destruction. There was the White Knight, with his powerful vocals and his soul bleeding guitar rifs and leads. He would be the one who leads these four into battle. Next is the Duke, who could keep the ancient beats with meticulous timing for the musical mayhem that would follow. Then there was the Black Knight, a man whose brutal weapon of choice was his thunderous bass while his mighty vocals sing to the beasts in the night Finally there was the Raven. He was the one who kept the rhythm with his powerful guitar sound and gut wrenching riffing.

With the stage set up with candles, swords and shields, a raven black night show is an experience that cannot be forgotten easily. With a range of haunting songs that will bring out the good and evil in everyone that encounters their powerful and unique force. Raven Black night have many influences, from the might ancient masters such as Black Sabbath, Dio, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix,,moterhead, Kiss and St Vitus to the more chaotic and modern sounds of Sleep, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Paradise Lost, Cathedral and High on Fire.

Late 2000 saw the release of Raven's first demo, simply titles Demo 2000. This was highly accepted locally and overseas by the metal and gothic scenes alike. Also, it was that time that the original drummer, The Godfather (Jeremy) departed from the band. After many months of searching, the Jester (Adrian) was found, and again Raven Black Knight gigged the local scene. Twelve months after recording the Morbid Gladiator 2002AD demo, the Jester departed and in stepped Dragon's Breath (Ben from Deluge/Slaughter Thou fame). After six months, a permanent replacement was found in the Duke.
