25.01.2022 REAVER NEEDS A LEAD GUITARIST After letting the ash settle on what was a terrible and probably our most productive yet least destructive year to date, we're finally ready to tackle 2021. First thing's first: we need a full line-up again.... If you think you've got what it takes to join Reaver as a lead guitarist, click the DropBox link below and record YOUR version (video/just audio, either is fine) of the solo on our track "Ice Queen", over the track provided. https://www.dropbox.com//w1wxyk/AABdxCgqrrRGK_mYgmkAwdeoa Looking for someone 18-26 years of age, long hair preferable but not a necessity (We can remedy that later ) Once you've recorded your solo, DM it to the band page so we can check it out. SUBMISSIONS OPEN MONDAY, 18TH JANUARY. Let's see what you've got
25.01.2022 ANNOUNCEMENT It's with great regret that REAVER will, at rather short notice, no longer be unleashing Terror At The Hideaway this weekend.. Unfortunately our vocalist, Zac, suffered an injury at work last week, (we're sure alot of you saw the gnarly photo) and it's preventing him from being able to perform at his full, monstrous capacity. Feel free to come congratulate/berate him for being such a dickhead at Metal at the Hideaway Bar on Dec. 22 as he should have all of his limbs back in working order by then!
25.01.2022 Well, how about a little something to ease all of you with that isolation blues? Our boys in Terror Bite have put together this sick little playlist on Spotify, comprised of a healthy dose of Aussie local talent, including yours truly in Reaver along with names like Gravity Stone and Acrolysis and a whole lot more!! Jump on, share it around, and PLAY IT LOUD!!... https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5jYksrpDyVA0IA5pGfw3Ut
25.01.2022 ATTENTION CAMPBELLTOWN!! Your boys in REAVER are back to destroy everything for Fisher's ReSuRGeNCe, Friday 29th November! You don't wanna miss this, it's $5 and the craziest part is if you buy one ticket YOU CAN GET A MATE IN FOR FREE!! Doors: 6:15pm
23.01.2022 TONIGHT!! CAMPBELLTOWN RSL!! Fisher's ReSuRGeNCe is bringing this 6-band line-up of local talent to the stage to show you just how alive the live music scene in Sydney could be; PLUS it's an all ages event (with adult accompaniment) AND when you pay the $5 entry you can get a mate in for free!! Doors open at 6:15pm so come down to catch the opening bands and get the party started early!!
23.01.2022 Well, it's safe to say Inner West Bushfire Fest was a massive success!! There was a huge turnout spanning both floors and all the acts killed it doing it what they do best so everyone did their part, for sure. Reaver's next appearance is Hard & Heavy at the Foundry; tearing Wollongong a new one with our good mates Thrash Bandicoot, Pestilent Doom, Acrolysis and Halcyon Reign. This one's gonna be monstrous and is not one to be missed so get your arse to the Illawarra Music Foundry on Feb 22nd and witness the carnage!!
21.01.2022 IT'S OUR TIME NOW! Reaver x Acrolysis "THE NOBODY CROWD" This was interesting to work on, as a collaborative writing and recording effort between both bands. ... Just hit play. https://youtu.be/n8W9RuJ57pU Mastering by Matt Clarke - Music Producer Cover Artwork by @All4Band.com Lyric Video by @Matthew Bortolin
21.01.2022 ATTENTION HEADBANGERS We've got some ACTUAL news for a change! As you may or may not already know, we, Reaver, parted ways with our bass-player Curtis Williams a litte over a month ago.... Thankfully the departure was amicable and we cannot stress enough that we are on nothing but good terms with Curtis and he'll always be welcome at our shows; and we hope to share the stage with him soon in any future bands/projects. ON A HIGHER NOTE We'd like you to all give a brutal, bloody welcome to Kosta Ana (of Acrolysis' front-man fame) as a permanent member of the Reaver crew! He proved himself no-end during his stint as a fill-in on our last shows before the Pandemic, so prepare to feel his wrath as he drops from his lightning 6-strings to his 4-STRINGS OF THUNDER!!! FEAR THE REAVER

16.01.2022 Well shit, Newcastle!! METAL FIX at the hamo was a blast and a half! Virescent and Sanctuary - Band are Newie natives that seriously deserve some attention, hopefully we see their likes down our way in Sydney very soon!! And how good was Kosta!? Not bad for a stand-in ;) ... Next week, we're playing Inner West Bushfire Fest; in an effort to raise money for the RFS and those affected by our absolutely savage bushfire season. It's a pretty huge line-up; mixed bill over two stages, so you're sure to find something to move to.

13.01.2022 HOLY SHIT SYDNEY!! What an epic fuckin' show last night was!!! Staves Brewery is one hell of a venue! Giant pits in a tiny room is our idea of a fuckin' party and you guys definitely brought the goods. Big thanks to Metal Thrashing Productions for having us and let's hope to see alot more gigs for us local headbangers there!!
12.01.2022 So who's proper keen to finally hear some NEW SHIT from us? We haven't released anything since our self-titled EP and we think it's HIGH time you got to hear what we've been working on. This pandemic hasn't made things easy, but we forever persevere and it won't be long 'til there's new REAVER tunes coming your way.... How's everyone coping, whether you're working or isolating? It's a crazy time, but hopefully we can get back on stage where we belong sooner rather than later!

08.01.2022 It's with huge regret we must announce Reaver will not be playing Metal at the Hideaway Bar due to our guitarist Danny coming down with a stomach illness a short while ago. We hate having to do this at such short notice, and at that, at shorter notice than we were forced to give for our cancellation last week. We're terribly sorry about this and it's not how we wanted to go out this year but it's unfortunately how it has to be. ... We promise to make it up to all of you with the crazy shit we've got in store for next year, and thank you all for the support over the last year and the few before The Reaver will return in 2020.
