Pipeman interviews Southern California’s newest force in melodic death metal, Ravenmocker, and their second single / music video “Where The Raven Flies” to follow their debut track "Infallible."

The new single continues building the band’s identity: soaring melody, cultural storytelling, and a modern take on the melodic death metal spirit once championed by acts like Children of Bodom, Insomnium, and Kalmah.

"Where The Raven Flies" is an anthemic, cinematic track that tells the origin story of the Raven Mocker, a cryptid from Adirondack and Cherokee lore. Known as a harbinger of death, the Raven Mocker feeds on the sick and dying, stealing the remaining years of its victims’ lives. The single paints vivid imagery of the creature soaring over forests and villages, acting as both reaper and omen.

00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.320
Hi, you live on to censure?

2
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.359
Wow crazy you.

3
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:30.239
Job up time cloud job Shuti, yesday.

4
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.759
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

5
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.079
Man W four C Y Radio and I'm here with

6
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:41.119
our next guest, who uh had some killer music and

7
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.320
so like, welcome to show Tom from rape Maker.

8
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:44.799
How are you?

9
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.280
I'm doing great man, Thank you so much for having me.

10
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:49.479
Oh my pleasure. Funny too.

11
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:51.399
While I was starting to do that, I was looking

12
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.479
at my virtual background, like, oh, do I have it

13
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:54.399
a mirror mode?

14
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:56.119
Your logo is cool.

15
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.240
It's like kind of cool like bookends wrapping around in

16
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:00.719
the name.

17
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.879
Yeah, yeah, it's actually our drummer decided that might be

18
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:10.239
a cool little addition to the to the logo. So

19
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.640
he actually was the inspiration behind the backwards are right

20
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:14.280
at the end there.

21
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.000
And I think you almost need to do that nowadays,

22
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.359
you know, because yeah, it's so hard nowadays with bands.

23
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:24.840
I was just talking about that in the last interview,

24
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:28.079
like the the things that bands have to do to

25
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.640
make their names stand out nowadays because there's so many.

26
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.599
Yeah, oh, you're so right about that. It's it's really

27
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.799
easy to get lost in the in the massive uh

28
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.120
you know, music coming out and you gotta you gotta

29
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.120
stand out somehow totally.

30
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.480
So tell our listeners who may not have heard of

31
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.120
you or heard your music a little bit about Raven

32
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.840
Mocker and you know how it came about and what

33
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.920
how you view your music, not not like a genre,

34
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.159
but like how you view it as an artist.

35
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:03.079
Yeah, sure, well again, thank you for having me. My

36
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.319
name's Tom. I played guitar and sing in the band

37
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.319
Raven Mocker. We are a melodic death metal band that

38
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:16.960
derives a lot of influence from bands like Children About Them, Insomnium, Omnium, Gatherum,

39
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.639
more melodic stuff than your typical death metal. But obviously

40
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.680
I'm a huge fan of the death metal vocals, so

41
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.719
that's the style I bring to the table as the vocalist.

42
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:35.000
We I Guess the band started off. I've always used

43
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.599
I guess my own style of writing just as a

44
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.080
kind of coping mechanism for the life we live nowadays.

45
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.800
You know, worlds in peril, you know, almost a hundred

46
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.120
percent of the time, and it's just a way I

47
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:50.199
kind of get out of myself and allow myself to

48
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.280
forget about all of that stuff. Professionally as a musician,

49
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.000
I played drums for bands for the last like eighteen

50
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.960
to twenty years. But I want to do something different.

51
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.560
So last year I came off of a tour supporting

52
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.520
Arch Enemy, and I was like, you know what I'm

53
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.240
I want to do something different, Like, I just had

54
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.080
this feeling of wanting to do more, be more. I

55
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.800
mean on the tour, I you know, we did phenomenally.

56
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:18.879
It was a great response to the music we brought.

57
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.000
But I wanted to do something else, So I left

58
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.120
that project and I wound up just spending that summer

59
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.520
writing and writing and writing and writing. You know, pretty

60
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.199
much everything you heard on the first two singles was

61
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.039
done in this room. You know, I got my my

62
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.759
electronic kit and my guitars right there. You know, I

63
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.400
just locked myself away in here for for days at

64
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.719
a time and just started trying to you know, I'm

65
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.960
not the greatest guitarist in the world. Drums is really

66
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.879
my primary instrument, so I wanted to allow myself to

67
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.680
be challenged. But also, you know, not worry so much

68
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.800
about dude, if you can't if you can't shred at

69
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:07.680
like Momstein's style speeds like there's no there's no disappointment

70
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:11.199
in that as long as you're making good music. So

71
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.120
I just kind of I lost myself in here and

72
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:18.959
I just tried to I tried to just let everything out.

73
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.839
And I think we did a pretty good job. From

74
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:27.600
you know, releasing the first two singles. This year, we've

75
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.040
garnered almost two hundred thousand views on YouTube off of

76
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.000
those two singles alone, and for being a brand new band,

77
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.240
that's kind of like, that's a.

78
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:36.920
Really, that's a lot.

79
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.959
We're proud of ourselves for that. Obviously, that kind of

80
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.720
sets the bar for the rest of what we do.

81
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.199
So you know, we're far from taking a break, but

82
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.160
we're trying to make every single song, every single quality

83
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.800
of production a little better than the last time. And

84
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.680
we just came out of the studio. Our drummer Dylan

85
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:03.120
recorded I think the rest of the songs for the album,

86
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.480
so I think it's like ten or eleven songs, and

87
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.399
we we re recorded the first two because he's been

88
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.560
playing it now for almost a year and he was like,

89
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.160
I can do better, and we were like, all right,

90
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.839
let's let's re record the drums for Infallible and Where

91
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:24.120
the Raven Flies. So, needless to say, he he plugged

92
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.639
away on him and they came out wonderful. But yeah,

93
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.639
we're hoping the next songs that we drop over the

94
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.720
next year or so they're gonna be really They're gonna

95
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:36.839
be really special. They're gonna be something that fans can

96
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:41.120
really appreciate and relate to. Don't get me wrong, I

97
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.439
love my speed metal bands and stuff, but like we

98
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:52.199
wanted to be accessible too, And I know, uh, yeah,

99
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.839
I don't really know what else to say about it.

100
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:55.600
That's good enough.

101
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.639
It's coming from the heart, you know, And yeah, I

102
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.600
think that that's really We're gonna learn stuff about, you know,

103
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.360
our writing process and everything like that over the next year.

104
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.879
So who knows where the next record may come out to,

105
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.439
But I can tell you for sure, the guys in

106
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.959
the band they are they are so happy to be

107
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.720
doing this and dedicated and like you know, they put

108
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.600
in the work and it's never a it's never a

109
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.399
hassle to get rehearsal together. We're all very enthusiastic about

110
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.000
like future production, how we want our live shows to look,

111
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.319
and it's it's really a special thing working without all

112
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:36.319
of them, It truly is.

113
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.519
I love I love hearing that too, because that's important,

114
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.360
you know. It's hard enough in the business you're in

115
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.639
that it shouldn't be hard within the band. Yeah, And

116
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.160
the fact that you know it's not hard and you're

117
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.560
having fun and you're being real, that to me, that's

118
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.959
what it's all about. And that's why you're getting that

119
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.399
many you know, views and listens is because you know

120
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.079
if you're real and you're being a true musician and

121
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.600
not just somebody you know, try to implement some formula,

122
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.519
Like it takes a lot of balls to go from

123
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:14.920
drums to you know, singing and playing guitar now. And

124
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.560
my hat's off to you because I played drums for

125
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.480
nine years when I was a kid, and I sucked,

126
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.199
and I switched a guitar. I sucked at that. I

127
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:26.480
sang thrash metals, sucked at that. So my hat's off

128
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.160
to you because it takes a lot of work.

129
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:28.920
And the only.

130
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.600
Reason I sucked is because I didn't put in the work,

131
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.959
you know. And also, you know a death metal singer

132
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:41.560
that can do that. I mean, I don't think people realize.

133
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.160
They think you're just screaming and how hard it is.

134
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.560
That's why you know, I kind of sucked because I

135
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.720
wasn't singing with the proper technique and I was blowing

136
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.839
out my voice by you know, not doing it the

137
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.079
right way kind of like you know, I look at

138
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:02.319
Courtney in a part box as show and I watch

139
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:03.199
her mouth.

140
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:07.560
I'm like, oh my god, you know, like that.

141
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.639
Technique that I watch her have, I'm like, I'm so

142
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.519
enamored with it because it's like, holy shit, like look

143
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.639
at what she's doing.

144
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.480
I don't even know if I could do that absolutely.

145
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:23.839
Yeah, you know, yeah, vocals is such a new animal

146
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:28.759
for me. It. I I did vocals very briefly when

147
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.600
I was living in New Jersey for a band, and

148
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:32.440
you know, we played a couple of shows here there,

149
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.919
but like it wasn't long enough to really have to

150
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:41.320
focus in on that technique. And I think watching artists

151
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.360
like you know, Phil Boseman, Will Ramos, even Travis from Cattle,

152
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:52.799
they they have such unique approaches to their individual instrument

153
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:57.240
and I'm just trying to figure out how they go

154
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.919
for the longevity that they do. And there's there's appsl

155
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:04.879
a technique, and like I think there's been like research

156
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.600
done on some of these vocalists because like people are wondering,

157
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.200
how how do you get that tone? And then not

158
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.639
only that, sustain it for like a month at a time,

159
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:14.600
doing it for me.

160
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.679
Like you're talking about will, I mean like that blows

161
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.679
my mind. I think my vice would be blown in

162
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.399
like thirty seconds.

163
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.720
Yeah, yeah, And I think I think it comes down

164
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.480
to purely, like you know, we spend so much time

165
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:30.720
just talking in our regular voice. I think there is

166
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.639
depth that you can find that it just it creates

167
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.039
a different sound, and when you learn to get that

168
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:40.639
far down, it just creates something new entirely. It's a

169
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:44.159
phenomenal and very interesting subject for me, especially kind of

170
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:45.960
like learning it in real time, you know.

171
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.320
Well, I think Alai is a perfect example of why

172
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.279
you need to have technique right from the beginning, because

173
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.559
you know, he kind of changed because he can't do

174
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.399
the death chrem more. The doctors were saying you won't

175
00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.840
have a voice ever, you know.

176
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.080
Yeah, And.

177
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:06.799
I think that's from you know, not knowing the right

178
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.840
technique from the beginning, and then you can learn it later.

179
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.679
But then if you don't from the beginning, maybe there

180
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:14.799
won't be a later sometimes exactly.

181
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.519
Yeah. Another band that I've noticed that is a Devil

182
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.360
War's product. I used to listen to them in high

183
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.200
school and stuff like that. And uh, you know the

184
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.240
singer Mike, he's he's he's definitely much better off from

185
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:27.879
where he used to be. But maybe like five ten

186
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.279
years ago, I noticed like he just couldn't deliver on

187
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.240
stage and like not talking, not talking. Shade on on

188
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.879
Devil War's product. They got those guys earn their spot,

189
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.919
you know, but like I definitely noticed he was getting

190
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.639
like really gassed during the during the performances. It's like, man,

191
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:46.720
I can't. I can't allow myself to You got to

192
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.840
learn from other people, you know, no or another.

193
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.279
Uh, and it is a learned craft. Like people think

194
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.360
that when you're doing the type of music you're doing

195
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.480
that they just get up and scream. And like that's

196
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:02.159
why I'm focusing on this because a lot of these

197
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:08.039
really good singers could sing the mainstream.

198
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:08.919
Stuff very well.

199
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:14.919
Like you you take Tatiana, you know how she goes

200
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:20.360
from that melodic voice to that brutal you know, gral

201
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:22.519
Like that's talent.

202
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.279
Oh, it's so impressive. It is so impressive. I I

203
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:29.559
the only reason I haven't started singing clean in the

204
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.360
Raven Maker stuff is because I don't. I haven't reached

205
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.879
that point yet where I can comfortably do that, and

206
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.879
it's something I I'm I'm gonna have to challenge myself

207
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.600
on eventually, because I do want that kind of accessibility

208
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.120
in the Raven Macker stuff. But at the same time,

209
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.360
when I when I put it on a recording, I

210
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.639
need to make sure that it's good, you know, like

211
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.000
I don't want to put out something half assed, and

212
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.360
then we go to play at midway through a set

213
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:59.679
and they're just like, you know, yeah, So it's it

214
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.600
is so impressive that some of these vocalists, I mean, yeah,

215
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.679
Tazia spearbox again, Courtney does it like flawlessly where she

216
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.919
can just she can just swap tones like that.

217
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:10.440
It blows my mind.

218
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:12.600
It's truly truly impressive, it really is.

219
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.360
I think people don't realize how hard it would be

220
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.759
also to switch gears like that, like.

221
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:21.639
On a dime. You know, yeah, it's unbelievable.

222
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:25.000
Absolutely, And then you know, you mentioned like different people

223
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:29.279
like Slayer, uh my favorite old time ever band, but

224
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.320
Tom can't hit the notes that he hit back in

225
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:36.480
the early days, which means certain songs he'd never be.

226
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:37.399
Able to sing today.

227
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:40.600
You know, you like you take some of the older

228
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.279
songs like like I Am the any Christ, he never

229
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:48.120
would be able to hit that high note. Yeah, you know,

230
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:53.399
and that's why I always have a lot of respect

231
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:57.440
for people that can have that longevity doing it, you know.

232
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.440
Absolutely, yeah, And I think a lot of that comes

233
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.840
with age two, you know, like we're not you know,

234
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.279
a lot of us like time stops for nobody, and

235
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.799
you know when when uh, you know, Metallica, they down

236
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.240
tune their stuff now just for ease of making sure

237
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.559
that Hetfield can sing it. But also at the same time,

238
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:15.840
like it's like, you know, they found a way to

239
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.879
make sure that the fans still got that authentic experience,

240
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.919
whether it's tuning down like a half step or a

241
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.919
whole step, just to make sure that they can they

242
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.879
can get that in the key that they're in now,

243
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.399
you know. So I think I think, you know, in

244
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:34.240
dealing in dealing with the aspect of time and having

245
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:37.000
an effect on your voice and your performance, being able

246
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.320
to account for that later on so the fans can

247
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.639
get that experiences, I think also part of the game totally.

248
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.080
And it's so funny you mentioned Hetfield because I heard

249
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:50.919
him recently talking about how you know, when they play

250
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.200
Seek and Destroy at the same at the at the

251
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:00.159
uh San Jose Games that uh they're playing in the

252
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.480
old version. He's like, why don't they play the version

253
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.440
I do now because I can sing now. I sucked

254
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.120
back then and me as an old school that was

255
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:10.399
at in their first show ever, like, I like his

256
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:15.200
voice back then. But I also as an adult understand

257
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:17.759
if you're an artist, yeah, you would want to progress.

258
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.440
Like when he starts singing, he didn't have training or anything,

259
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:26.080
just sang, and now he does have training, so you know,

260
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.039
it's singing is different, but it makes him happy, which

261
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.559
would make everybody else happy exactly.

262
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.600
Yeah, when an artist is feeling it on stage, everybody

263
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:38.159
feels it, you know, exactly.

264
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.039
