Behind The Tracks: Ravenmocker - Where The Raven Flies (Single) (2026)

Where The Raven Flies is a very anthemic single, telling the origins of The Raven Mocker. A crypid from the Adirondack mountains, the Raven Mocker is a being that feeds on the sick and the dying. If you see the Raven Mocker, you’ve already been given a death sentence. The Raven Mocker takes your heart from your chest without leaving marks or scars, and adds the time that its victim would have lived, to its own life. The song describes the Raven Mocker flying over forests and villages, seeking out the terminally ill and seeking its prey. Resembling a raven to the normal eye, the Raven Mocker stands over almost any human, grim and gaunt, looking more like a feathery dragon on its hind legs with a raven skull for a face. The song describes the creature as a sort of Reaper - as a setting sun on your life and a gust of wind at night that passes you from this life to the next.
