Beloved by tastemakers and the underground, London metal trio, URNE, have today released a nine minute-plus undulating epic, ‘Harken The Waves’, featuring guest vocals from Mastodon’s Troy Sanders. On it, his and URNE frontman Joe Nally’s voices blend to form a duet cresting the surface of the song.
“We feel this is one of the best songs we’ve ever written. On top of that, we were lucky enough to have Grammy-winning metal icon Troy Sanders, from the legendary Mastodon, lend his vocal talents,” explains URNE frontman Joe Nally. “We’ve grown up listening to Troy and watching Troy live, so having someone like him not only appear, but take on such a significant role in the song, elevating it to another level, means a lot.”
Metallica is as surprised as anyone to learn that two of their landmark albums have attained new RIAA certifications:

IGNITES THE FLAME WITH FIERY NEW SINGLE “BURN” THE LATEST CHAPTER OF THEIR UPCOMING ALBUM ”BLACK SONATA” Due Out September 12
The circus of the macabre returns — louder, darker, and more ferocious than ever.
The haunting, genre-defying force known as RAVEN BLACK has unleashed the next chapter in their unfolding gothic metal opera. “BURN” — the second single from the highly anticipated full-length album
Black Sonata — “BURN” is available now across all streaming platforms.
“Burn” follows the success of “FXCK YOU,” the album’s first single, and continues the narrative arc of Black Sonata — an album that promises to be RAVEN BLACK’S most ambitious and immersive work to date. Drawing from classical influences, dark theater, and spine-rattling metalcore, this album is a journey into the void… with the devil grinning from the passenger seat.
Produced by Ulrich Wild (Static-X, White Zombie, Deftones), “Burn” is an infernal symphony of heavy guitars, industrial textures, and Raven’s unmistakable blend of haunting melody and psychotic screams.
Meet RAVEN BLACK, a theatrical metal act originally from Los Angeles. Their unique brand of metal, influenced by gothic, classical, and heavy metal music, serves as the soundtrack to vocalist Raven’s duality as she shares her story of being a hybrid of both dark and light.
Drawing from a myriad of musical inspirations, RAVEN BLACK expertly blends elements from their favorite art forms, including movies, ethnic backgrounds, and personal life experiences. Each song is crafted to take fans on an adventure, offering new perspectives and understandings. Their sound ranges from melodic to dark, fun to raging and psychotic—yet every track tells a story.
At the heart of their narrative lies a comic book character: a girl whose innocence was taken at a young age. Overcoming her demons and cursed by her predators, she discovers she is half human, half doll. The doll within her is dark, and as she embraces her inner darkness, she travels with her demons who protect her from those seeking to steal her inner power.
