RAGE

The eighteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy/Speed/Power Metal band.
Once again, Peavy and Victor, joined this time by Andres Hilgers on the drums after the slightly achromous departure of Mike Terrana, have come up with another classic set of songs.
These guys just don’t put out bad albums. The last effort, “Speak Of The Dead”, saw them experiment slightly; one half of the album was accompanied by a full orchestra and the other half with a more complex and Progressive approach than usual, more “Welcome to the Other Side” than “Unity” or “Soundchaser”. The real standout feature of this album are choruses. Rage have always been known for catchy melodies and hooks, but this album takes this to another level, some might say too much so, but that’s one of the strongest aspects of "Carved In Stone" - the contrast between the very heavy and the much catchy.
In total, "Carved In Stone" is another brilliant album by the German veterans. If you like classic Metal with a Power/Thrash Metal feel to it, then give it a try - you won’t be disappointed in any way!
Bonus DVD contains "Live in Wacken’2007" and two video clips!

21. Guitar Workshop With Victor Smolski

The third DVD by the legendary German Heavy/Speed/Power Metal band.
It's merely been 18 years since Rage first came up on the German Metal scene. Indeed, it's been 20 years since bassist/vocalist Peavy Wagner recorded his first album under the Avenger moniker...
"From The Cradle To The Stage" is a quite remarkable live album and DVD. Recorded at the Zeche in Bochum (Germany) on January 25, 2004, Rage performed a three-hour show, playing the most important tracks from every phase of the band's career.
It's loud, it's mean, and it’s twenty seven songs of Metal with a superb line-up. Guitarist Victor Smolski has a great rep in biz, while everybody should know of Mike Terrana by now, and what he can do with a drum-kit. His "Archary" solo is something out of the ordinary...
You can easily say that it's a best-of-live compilation as all the songs are included for once. A powerful executed performance by the entire band and one of the best live albums of the year!!

The 17th full-length album by legendary German Heavy/Power Metal band.
The album contains a mix of different Heavy Metal music genres, ranging from Symphonic and Progressive to fast and brutal Thrash Metal. The band go back to the “Lingua Mortis” album’s themes and atmospheres in the suite that opens the album, called "Suite Lingua Mortis" that consists in 8 parts, using a full symphonic orchestra, recorded in Minsk, Belarus. This is their second attempt at recording with an orchestra. The band and orchestra sound fantastic together, and melt together like one unit. The music has been written with the orchestra in mind, but it still sticks to the Heavy Metal bent that Victor is obviously so outfit with. This album completely kicks butt!
"Speak Of The Dead" made the international press round for enthusiasm, and during the sold-out European tour, the concert in St. Petersburg for a live DVD, "Full Moon in St. Petersburg", was recorded. Due to personal and musical differences, separated from their late 2006 RAGE drummer Mike Terrana, who was replaced by André Hilgers. Andrés first assignment equal were the concerts with the "Lingua Mortis Orchestra" in Russia, Ukraine, Czech Republic and also at the "Wacken Open Air" festival, where the show was filmed in front of 100,000 spectators. This material was used for the bonus DVD of the new RAGE album "Carved In Stone".
With "Speak Of The Dead", Rage has properly evolved into a band that not only handles its core sound well, but can exceed with new sounds. It’s one of the several high points in the band’s career. Highly recommended for nearly any fan of melodic Metal!!

The second compilation album by legendary German Heavy/Speed/Power Metal band.
German Power Metallers celebrate their 30th anniversary with the release of a unique collection of songs from their outstanding back catalogue, including all available rare and unreleased tracks!
What better way to celebrate their anniversary as by diving deep into their own history, spanning three decades of an incomparable and an unbeatable Metal career – from the humble beginnings in the early 1980s, with their debut attempt "Prayers Of Steel", and back then calling themselves Avenger, through the flourishing 90s, that peaked in their 1996 classic approach "Lingua Mortis". All the way to the most recent years, which also featured Rage coming in third at the Bundesvision Songcontest in 2009, carving a quarter of a century in stone even more so!
Garnish all this with 21 albums released to date and add in some line-up changes, and you not only get your average German Metal combo, but a gathering of brilliant musicians that keep reinventing their own sound with every new creative vision to come!!
"The Soundchaser Archives" is an interesting and entertaining collection of tracks covering this iconic band’s journey through 30 years, displaying not only their ideas and influences, but also their work outside of Rage as well. This compilation is a real gem for die-hard Rage fans, and collectors of rare and unreleased works. Your hard-earned money worth to purchase this!!!
