Dark theatrical metal act RAVEN BLACK returns with This Little Piggy, a twisted and intense new single that dives deep into the band’s signature horror-fueled soundscape.
The twisted ringmasters of theatrical metal, RAVEN BLACK , have returned with their most diabolical creation yet. Their brand new single “THIS LITTLE PIGGY” is OUT NOW on all streaming platforms, offering a razor-edged descent into madness, vengeance, and grotesque transformation.
The track is the first taste of their upcoming full-length album Black Sonata , dropping Friday, September 13, 2025 —a date fitting for the band’s wicked, horror-infused legacy.
Produced by legendary metal alchemist Ulrich Wild ( Static-X, White Zombie, Deftones ), “This Little Piggy” is a feral anthem for the misfits and damned, blending eerie carnival melodies with bone-shattering riffs and Raven’s signature range of chilling whispers to bloodcurdling screams. Like a nightmarish fairy tale gone wrong, the single sets the stage for a darker, more unhinged evolution of the band’s already notorious sound.
“From the first guttural growl to the final haunting laugh, this is the beginning of a new chapter—raw, primal, and unapologetically grotesque,” says Raven.
With deep roots in gothic, classical, and heavy metal, RAVEN BLACK are more than just a band—they’re a theatrical force . Their story is interwoven with that of a comic book character: a girl whose innocence was stolen, only to discover she is half-human, half-doll, accompanied by demons that protect her as she harnesses the darkness within.
Their haunting aesthetic and immersive storytelling have earned them comparisons to Avatar, In This Moment , and System of a Down , while their genre-defying sound captures everything from melodic melancholy to psychotic rage.
RAVEN BLACK is a theatrical metal band from Los Angeles, blending haunting gothic atmospheres with bone-rattling metal aggression. Fronted by the enigmatic Raven , their music tells the tale of a cursed doll-girl and her demonic protectors. Every performance is a portal into a twisted fairytale—one where pain and power collide, and the darkness within is set free.
