Album: THE SOUNDCHASER ARCHIVES LTD. EDIT. (2CD+DVD DIGI)

Year: 2014
Media type: CD

What better way to celebrate their 30th Band anniversary as by diving deep into their own history, spanning three decades of an incomparable 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. Or simply: RAGE! 2014 sees the trio with its line-up consisting of Peavy Wagner, Victor Smolski and Andre Hilgers far from retiring, yet revisiting their own back catalogue and uncovering a series of previously unreleased songs or versions, demo recordings and fractions of ideas, that finally went to find clear sonic ground.
