Working collaboratively, so that the strengths of each musician can stand out and compliment the others,&nbsp;<strong>Ravenous<\/strong>&nbsp;have grown from doing basic fist-pumping heavy metal songs into writing complex, dense, and multilayered dark symphonic power metal anthems. The band doesn\u2019t just caw about hunger, they take lyrical inspiration from personal experiences, books, movies, games, (especially Magic: the Gathering), classic poetry, folklore, and historical events. They explain the album in their own words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RAVENOUS1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  data-gnlv=\"hey\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RAVENOUS1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86016\" width=\"363\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RAVENOUS1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RAVENOUS1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RAVENOUS1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RAVENOUS1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RAVENOUS1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RAVENOUS1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RAVENOUS1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RAVENOUS1-1170x1170.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RAVENOUS1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>\u201cLyrically, the album tells 10 stories from various sources all surrounding Hubris, the notion of arrogance and the hunger for power, resulting in the demise of the story\u2019s main characters &#8211; beneath the surface, hidden messages are scattered throughout various lyrical lines that pertain to the band\u2019s real-life experiences.
