History
In 2007, Raven began work together with Mark Gemini Thwaite (The Mission, Peter Murphy) in Los Angeles on a new musical project called Mob Research. Warrior Soul frontman Kory Clarke and ex-Queens of the Stone Age and Peter Murphy) drummer Nick Lucero completed the line-up.[1]
Raven died of an apparent heart attack in his sleep on October 20, 2007 while recording with Treponem Pal in Geneva, Switzerland.[2] At the time of his death, he was also recording with Mob Research on their debut album, Holy City Zoo.[3] The core of the music for the album had already been recorded at the time of his death, with all of Raven's contributions already recorded, and four songs had also been completed with vocals by Kory Clarke at the time of Raven's death. The completion and subsequent commercial release of Holy City Zoo was delayed considerably as the remaining band members came to terms with Paul Raven's death and Clarke attempted to complete the remaining songs for the unreleased album.[4] Work was completed in 2008 and the album was partly mixed by noted producer Tim Palmer and released in June 2009 on Echozone / Sony Music in Europe.[5] The band's subsequent self-produced video for Tribe - partly composed as a homage to Raven - was included on the Klangrausch - Schmerzmittel DVD [6] release by Echozone in December 2010.[7]
