Ravenstine was founded by Martin Sosna in times of Covid with his longtime friend John A.B.C. Smith of God's Army and their friend Hanno Kerstan (Mystic Prophecy).
The self-pressed CD single "Ravenstine" was pressed to 500 copies and was sold out immediately. Ravenstine are a group of friends. Martin and John have known each other for more than 30 years and Ian and Zak have been friends for more than 20 years.
Hanno is also a very long-time friend of Martin and John, even though they all live in different parts of Europe. At first, John sang on the tracks because it wasn't easy to find a good singer for a band.
One day Martin asked John what had happened to Zak Tataji and shortly afterwards he was on board. Ravenstine are a band with 4 singers (John, Ian, Zak and Martin) starring Zak.
He has the perfect voice for the Ravenstine songs and ideas. Guest appearnace from Frank Blackfire (Sodom). Ravenstine are Heavy Steam Rock with influences from Def Leppard and AC DC.
