The Raven Age have announced Dublin and Belfast gigs for October

London melodic metalcore troopers The Raven Age will play the Academy 2, Dublin, on October 30.

They play the Limelight 2, Belfast on October 31.

The band have made quite an impact on the rock press. Kerrang! reckon they "make a muscular display with low-slung riffs that dig into the crowd like a gravedigger's pickaxe." Classic Rock have called their sound "a distinctly modern take on metal... there's certainly potential here."

Tickets go on sale on August 4 at 10am and can be picked up via www.theravenage.com/tour.

A press release states that "Supapass fans will get early pre-sale access plus an exclusive VIP meet and greet – completely free upon purchasing their ticket. Sign up to Supapass now at https://goo.gl/CdMKgU and also get the ‘Limited Edition Collectors Pack’."

The band recently released a video for 'The Dying Embers Of Life', taken from their debut album Darkness Will Rise. Watch it below:
