Raven All For One CD (Slipcase, Poster, 2024, High Roller Records)

All For One is the third full-length studio album from British heavy metal legends Raven, one of the most important and influential bands to emerge from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM). Originally released in 1983, the album represents a pivotal moment in Raven’s career, capturing the band at peak intensity as they pushed traditional heavy metal toward the speed, aggression, and energy that would directly influence the rise of speed and thrash metal worldwide.

All For One showcases Raven’s trademark “athletic metal” sound, combining high-speed riffing, driving rhythms, and infectious hooks with the raw power and attitude that defined early NWOBHM. Tracks such as “Take Control,” “Run Silent, Run Deep,” and the anthemic title track highlight the band’s ability to balance melody with relentless momentum, cementing Raven’s reputation as true innovators rather than followers of the scene.

This High Roller Records CD slipcase edition is the definitive collector’s version of All For One. Featuring an extensive booklet and a double-sided poster, the release has been meticulously restored and mastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony in June 2020. Sourced from an unreleased Megaforce Sterling cutting, this edition delivers exceptional clarity, punch, and dynamic range, widely regarded as the best-sounding version of the album ever produced.

An essential release for NWOBHM collectors, classic heavy metal fans, and anyone interested in the roots of speed and thrash metal, All For One stands as an eternal heavy metal classic in its ultimate, premium edition.
