Not only was Raven an extraordinary talent, but one of my closest dearest friends\u00bb. Todo empez\u00f3 con la llegada del Apocalipsis. Dos a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s de que Killing Joke hicieran <a href=\"http:\/\/www.killingjoke.org.uk\/images\/popeposterbg.jpg\">un poster para una gira donde el papa P\u00edo XII bendec\u00eda a dos soldados nazis<\/a> (lo que les impidi\u00f3 dar un concierto en Glasgow), <strong>Jaz Coleman<\/strong>, el l\u00edder del grupo, empapado de las ense\u00f1anzas de Aleister Crowley y alg\u00fan que otro santo particular crey\u00f3 en 1982 que el fin del mundo estaba pr\u00f3ximo y convenci\u00f3 al resto del grupo para que se trasladaran a Islandia, donde crey\u00f3 que se mantendr\u00edan a salvo del Apocalipsis. Una idea rara pensar que si el infierno devora la Tierra, Islandia estar\u00eda exenta de expiar sus pecados. Cansados de esperar por el armageddon el grupo volvi\u00f3 a Inglaterra decepcionados o aliviados -se desconoce el dato- y el bajista <strong>Martin -Youth- Glover<\/strong> colg\u00f3 la p\u00faa. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"161\" height=\"240\" align=\"left\" id=\"image1074\" alt=\"raven02.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.elenacabrera.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/raven02.jpg\" \/>Paul Raven entr\u00f3 para sustituirle, tocando por primera vez en el disco <em>Fire Dances<\/em>, de 1983. Y permaneci\u00f3 con el grupo durante el comienzo de su etapa menos oscura y ruda. El disco <em>Night Time<\/em> (1985) -donde est\u00e1 <em>Love Like Blood<\/em>&#8211; y <em>Brighter Than a Thousand Suns<\/em> (1986). Y ah\u00ed lo dej\u00f3, aunque volvi\u00f3 de nuevo justo antes de que el grupo se separara, para <em>Extremities, Dirt \u00bb Various Repressed Emitions<\/em> (1990). Cuando el grupo se reuni\u00f3 en 1992 no regres\u00f3 Paul Raven al bajo sino al bajista original, el que huy\u00f3 del Apocalipsis. As\u00ed que Raven se met\u00edo al grupo de hardcore Prong y haciendo trabajos de producci\u00f3n. Pero en la siguiente reformaci\u00f3n de Killing Joke, en 2003, s\u00ed estuvo Raven, con <strong>Dave Grohl<\/strong> de Nirvana a la bater\u00eda. Raven ha tocado en el \u00faltimo disco del grupo, <em>Hosannas From The Basements Of Hell<\/em> (2006). Adem\u00e1s, hab\u00eda colaborado con el grupo de harcore\/metal <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prongmusic.com\/\">Prong<\/a> y tambi\u00e9n era el actual <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thirteenthplanet.com\/ministry\/\">bajista de Ministry<\/a> (y le han dedicado una p\u00e1gina <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thirteenthplanet.com\/raven\/\">aqu\u00ed<\/a>). El grupo industrial franc\u00e9s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/treponempal\">Treponem Pal<\/a> le hab\u00edan invitado ha colaborar en su nuevo disco, una semana durante la grabaci\u00f3n en el estudio Studio des Forces Motrices de un peque\u00f1o pueblo cercano a Ginebra, junto a <strong>Ted Parsons<\/strong> (ex Swans, ex Killing Joke) y alg\u00fan miembro de The Young Gods. Fue Ted Parsons quien <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thirteenthplanet.com\/raven\/\">le encontr\u00f3<\/a> muerto: \u00abAfter a long day of recording, the band went out for drinks to celebrate Paul-s arrival and reminisce. We then went back to the house we were staying and I went to bed the other guys stayed up. I found Raven asleep in a chair the next morning in the living room. I thought nothing of it as Raven would sleep like this on the tour bus in the front lounge all the time. Then I looked closer at him and he looked very gray. I checked his pulse and there was none. I yelled for the other guys in the band. We immediately did some CPR and called for an ambulance. Medics arrived quickly but after an hour of trying to get his heart beat back they could not save him. They said he died in his sleep probably around 6 a.m. It was then 9:30 a.m. We made a lot of great music together. Words can-t describe how I feel right now. I-m devastated. He will be missed by many. He was the king of the one-liners. Please send Raven and his family love and light\u00bb. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"356\" alt=\"raven.jpg\" id=\"image1072\" src=\"http:\/\/www.elenacabrera.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/raven.jpg\" \/> El diario ingl\u00e9s <em>The Daily Telegraph<\/em> le ha dedicado hoy un obituario, brillantemente subtitulado como \u00abBass guitarrist with post-punk band Killing Joke who found a place in the group after the Apocalypse failed to materialise\u00bb. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"478\" height=\"358\" alt=\"photo04.jpg\" id=\"image1071\" src=\"http:\/\/www.elenacabrera.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/photo04.jpg\" \/> Jaz Coleman ha escrito sobre \u00e9l que \u00abWe are all deeply stricken with grief at the unannounced departure of possibly the funniest man on planet Earth and a brother to us all.
