In 2015 a remastered version of the album Book of Covetous Souls was released , with four additional songs.
style
According to classicthrash.com , Ravenous' Thrash Metal hardly differs from that of other European bands. The songs on the album are dynamic, but not very memorable and unoriginal. thethrashmetalguide.com found that the group played Thrash Metal with slightly technically demanding riffs that were fast and energetic. The vocals are deep and rough and closer to Death than to Thrash Metal. Overall, the music on the album is reminiscent of Mandator's Perfect Progeny due to the aggressiveness and the riffs .
