EPK – Ravenmocker – Infallible (2026)
Publicist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com
“Infallible was the song that really made me decide to put my full focus into Ravenmocker and leave a chunk of my life behind me that was harming me more than helping me. I think the guys heard the potential behind the song immediately, and that’s what we started working on first. I think the point in time where I was in life really helped me to go into this song and into the project headfirst. The song really helped us get into a good headspace with this sound and style, and a small clip of it on YouTube garnered over 80k views, so we really have a connection with this song. The intensity of the interest was validating and we felt like we were onto something. We can’t express our appreciation for everyone who heard it and felt compelled to even comment that they enjoyed it. We hope you’ll like the studio version even better!” – Tom Tierney – Guitar and Vocals – Ravenmocker
For fans of Children Of Bodom, Kalmah, Insomnium, Amon Amarth

“In this song Ravenmocker set the hook immediately with a vibrantly darting melody that will quickly remind listeners of Finnish melodic death metal greats, and every time that high-flying (and very catchy) melody line reappears it’s an electrifying experience. But so’s the rest of the song. It’s driven by hard-charging, head-hammering drums and nimble bass lines, and by riffing that both channels a feverish pulse (one that’s a variation on that opening melodic motif) and delivers slashing savagery. The vocals magnify the song’s ferocious intensity, venting the words in an intersection of cutthroat snarls and raging screams. This will get your blood pumping, and to repeat: it’s damned catchy too.” – No Clean Singing

About The Single Artwork:
A figure stands in the ruins of destruction in the aftermath of a massive war – buildings and towers that once stood tall crumbled to dust as a city was reduced to its ground level. All that’s left standing is the statue of the Raven; wings spread wide and ready to fly in the midst of the ruin, symbolizing new opportunities, resilience, and hope for a new future.
About The Single:
– Infallible is the turning point of a man who’s been in the dark for long enough, always giving whatever he can to an entity that never gives back. He’s fed up with giving himself to this darkened space and chose to walk away from something that looks perfect from the outside but on the inside is just turmoil. The chorus is the statement that he’s longed to give, accepting that there’s always going to be strife now, but while the entity was just standing around watching life unfold, the man taught himself how to thrive and survive. Now it’s his time to take an adventure and walk away, make sure the past stays dead and gone, and is on to his own journey. Infallible has a very almost cheerful feeling while the lyrics are cold and rigid, expressing the duality of the brightness of a new sun and possibilities, while resentment, anger, and frustration are things that never just go away. It’s a very energetic song, highlighting the adrenaline and almost scary nature that comes over us when it’s time to make a big decision, but ultimately, knowing it’ll take us to where we have to go.

Stories and Fun Facts:
– Most of the band are avid gamers. Tom, Dylan, and Will all heavily enjoy video games and can be found unwinding with Diablo, God of War, Skyrim, Elden Ring, and Starcraft.
– When filming the video for Where the Raven Flies, the band and crew got stuck on the mountain after dark because of an unrelated accident on the way down. They were rerouted, and all got lost, and most of the band found themselves over 50 miles away from the freeway, and all got home over two hours later. All GPS, cell phone service, and communication were lost in the mountains, and there was a period of uncertainty where no one knew where they were or how to get home.
– When recording the first material, the band had started off with a selection of songs that were eventually pushed to be released down the road. The band wanted to showcase the more melodic material, and even though most of the music had been tracked and started to be mixed, a general consensus was that the music didn’t capture the vibe that the band wanted to bring to the table as a first impression. The songs were put on the back burner for release down the road, and an entirely new set of songs was decided on and tracked from the top.
– Most of the band derives its influences from very different sources. George is a huge country and jazz fusion listener, and has spent years on the saxophone playing jazz. He loves to listen to artists such as Karizma, Allan Holdsworth, and BlackHawk. Dylan is about as big a country fan as they come, and in addition to his blistering drums, enjoys artists such as Whelan Jennings, Kieth Whitley, Colter Wall, and Charlie Pride. Will loves some classic pop punk like Paramore, AFI, Taylor Acorn, and Honey Revenge. And Tom pulls some of his ambient writing and orchestration from classical choral music, but also EDM artists like Infected Mushroom, Tiesto, and Above and Beyond.

Formed in Southern California in 2025, Ravenmocker is a melodic death metal band founded by guitarist/vocalist Tom Tierney (formerly of Thrown Into Exile) to channel songs inspired by Native American lore and personal experience. Joined by seasoned musicians from across the local scene, George Patmas (guitar), previously with goth rock act Dianthus, Dylan Suierveld (drums), also active in Levinia, and Will Buckley (bass), known for his work in Levinia and Anubis. Together, the group blends soaring melody with raw aggression, creating music that is both nostalgic and fresh.
Their sound has evolved from Tierney’s early thrash/death roots into a refined style influenced by Children of Bodom, Insomnium, Amon Amarth, Kalmah, and Dark Tranquillity. Each member brings unique influences, country, prog, blues, and funk that enrich Ravenmocker’s dynamic arrangements and powerful live performances.
In 2026, Ravenmocker will introduce themselves to the global metal community with two singles: “Infallible” and “Where the Raven Flies.” These tracks showcase the band’s melodic strength, emotional depth, and cultural vision, setting the stage for their debut EP and a bold new chapter in melodic death metal.
