r4vn invites listeners into a gothic dreamworld on 'raven’s inferno'

Atlanta-based darkwave artist r4vn has returned with raven’s inferno, a self-produced exploration of eerie beauty, immersive darkness, and untethered magic. Fusing witch house, dark fairycore, and ethereal electronica, the album solidifies r4vn’s reputation as one of the most intriguing voices in the underground, crafting a soundscape where the mechanical pulse of electronic production meets the otherworldly glow of their vocals.

“I created raven’s inferno dissociating into the void for a while,” r4vn explains. “It’s a dream of untethered magic - something that feels both real and unreal, like being pulled into another dimension.” The record is, in their own words, a dark gothic experiment, blending occult symbolism, gnostic imagery, and introspective emotion. Every element: writing, production, vocals - was crafted personally, creating a world that feels both intimate and expansive.

The album opens with “you coward!”, a track that immediately draws listeners into r4vn’s subterranean universe. Ghostly synths hover as the beat pulses in G‑minor, and r4vn’s voice floats through the electronic layers like a ritual invocation. It’s a track that embodies vulnerability as power, demanding that we confront our shadows rather than flee from them.

r4vn’s work is deeply personal and universally resonant. Raised on the blurred edges of reality and imagination, and shaped by a near-death experience in their youth, they channel this awareness into music that is simultaneously ritual, rebellion, and refuge. Beyond sonic experimentation, their art is informed by occult study, anarchism, philosophy, and nature, forming a mythology for listeners who feel on the margins but crave connection.

Following the success of their track on Sidewalks and Skeletons’ Witch House playlist, raven’s inferno marks a bold new phase in r4vn’s evolving sound. With haunting production, mythic symbolism, and a unique vision, the album is an invitation into a world where darkness becomes a form of light, and freedom is found in the shadowed spaces of imagination.

raven’s inferno is now available on all major streaming platforms, offering a journey into a world that is as haunting as it is hypnotic, as personal as it is expansive.
