Album:
Few metal acts can look back at as comprehensive, multi-faceted and varied a career as Rage. Founded in the spring of 1983 in Herne in Germany's Ruhr region, the band surrounding vocalist/bassist Peavy Wagner has integrated a wide range of stylistic nuances into its musical concept. There have been releases which focused primarily on hard thrash sounds, but also recordings featuring anthemnic power metal as well as albums with a - in the true sense of the word - symphonic orientation. "Wings Of Rage", the latest offering by the three-piece, consists of all this and much more. Peavy and his colleagues Marcos Rodriguez (guitar) and Vassilios Maniatopoulos (drums) have succeeded in summarizing the diversity and experience of almost 37 years of band history in twelve topical songs, starting a new chapter at the same time. "The material on Wings Of Rage is as colourful as Rage's history", confirms Peavy, "although it's always connected with the distinct evolvement of our strengths, in other words: with a contemporary style of playing and an ultramodern sound."
