RAVENSCRY Release ‘The Entertainer’ Lyric Video And Single

RAVENSCRY say: ‘In our new single “The Entertainer” you can feel the trademark of the typical Ravenscry sound: a mix of energy and grit with melody and melancholy.

The topic is inspired from the life of all those artists who are so good in entertaining people with jokes and funny stories, but at the same time are struggling and fighting with their inner demons.

We often ask ourselves this question and we would like to leave it also to our listeners. Maybe they could give us some interesting answers!’
