r4vn drops new album ‘raven’s inferno’
With raven’s inferno, r4vn deepens her ascent within the witch-house underground, presenting an album that feels as curated as it is instinctual. The self-produced project showcases her talent for shaping electronic elements—Serum patches, Arturia textures, and layered synth atmospheres—into something that carries both artistic discipline and a sense of unbound imagination. The result is a listening experience that evokes the sensorial richness of an occult tableau, rendered with elegance rather than excess.
“you coward!” serves as the album’s thesis: a lean, propulsive work that confronts the listener with its tension and transcendence. This interplay continues across the tracklist—“flirting with madness” stutters at the edge of chaos, “the watcher.” strips itself nearly bare to heighten introspection, and “train my lover, necromancer” injects a theatrical flair that hints at r4vn’s narrative ambitions. Throughout, her voice operates as both beacon and illusion, guiding listeners through psychic landscapes that feel simultaneously surreal and grounded.
On the release, r4vn comments, “I created ‘raven’s inferno’ dissociating into the void for a while. It’s a dream of untethered magic — something that feels both real and unreal, like being pulled into another dimension.”
What distinguishes the album is its consistency of atmosphere without monotony. Each piece broadens the emotional architecture, offering a different posture toward the shadows that inspire r4vn’s work. In its totality, raven’s inferno reads as a meditation on power, fear, and transformation—an album that honors its influences while cultivating a uniquely personal mystique. It marks a significant stride in r4vn’s artistic evolution, establishing her as not simply a participant in the darkwave lineage but a meaningful contributor to its future.

From 46th to 3rd: Asokwa Municipal Assembly’s Remarkable Rise in Financial Governance
A year can make a remarkable difference, and for the Asokwa Municipal Assembly, it has changed everything.
After placing 46th in 2024, the Assembly has surged to an impressive 3rd position in Ghana’s 2025 Public Financial Management Compliance League Table, earning national recognition for its commitment to transparency, accountability and responsible financial management.
The Public Financial Management Compliance League Table, supported by the European Union and coordinated by the Centre for Local Governance Advocacy (CLGA), assesses all 261 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies across the country. It measures how effectively assemblies manage public funds through budgeting, procurement, revenue generation and financial reporting.
Asokwa’s score of 92.00% placed it among the very best in Ghana, with only Bia East District Assembly and Nkwanta South Municipal Assembly ranking ahead. The performance stands well above the national average of 56.20%, underlining the municipality’s exceptional progress.
Behind this success is a deliberate commitment to strengthening financial discipline. Under the leadership of Municipal Chief Executive Hon. Amoh Kamel, the Assembly has embraced reforms aimed at improving compliance with financial regulations and ensuring greater accountability in the use of public resources.
The national recognition was formally presented during an awards ceremony, where Hon. Gladys G.N. Tetteh, Deputy Executive Director of CLGA, presented the Assembly with an award acknowledging its outstanding performance. The citation commended Asokwa’s efforts in improving public financial management and maintaining compliance throughout the financial management process.
The Assembly’s remarkable improvement demonstrates what focused leadership, teamwork and dedication to good governance can achieve. Rising 43 places within a single year is a significant accomplishment that reflects consistency, careful planning and efficient execution.
Asokwa’s latest achievement not only brings pride to the municipality but also serves as a benchmark for other local assemblies striving to improve governance and accountability.
As the municipality celebrates this milestone, attention now turns to sustaining these standards and pursuing an even greater achievement in the years ahead.
