about
There is a legend that tells about the raven as the only bird that can fly through the worlds of the living and the dead. Every night the raven stands at the grave of those who died under mysterious and sad circumstances. RavenLand is inspired by this legend. RAVENLAND was formed during the winter of 1997 by Dewindson Wolfheart (vocal). The other members, Andre Cardoso (Guitars), Clécio Christian (Bass) and Alexandre Brito (Drums) joined the band to complete the first line-up. Since the beginning the musical proposal of the band was to combine some elements of metal, gothic music and the 80’s rock/pop. The first recordings of the band were the demos “October of 1998” (1998) and “Live at Kalimar” (2000). The band also recorded a live show on video called “Noturna”. It was released in 1999. In 2000 the band signed a contract with the MOONSHADOW label to release their first album called "After the sun hides" with 10 songs, but after finishing the recording sessions in 2001 the label had its doors shut and the record was not released. During the same time they had participated at some very important Brazilian festivals playing with such respected bands. In 2002 the RAVENLAND was invited to take part in a tribute album for the Greek dark metal heroes, Rotting Christ. So they recorded "Among Two Storms" from their album "A Dead Poem". In fact, RAVENLAND’s version was considered by the Brazilian press the best track of the album that also included other respected and famous bands
