Rage - Studio Albums (1986 - 2010) [17 CD, Japan 1st Press]

The German heavy metal outfit, Rage, originally formed in the early '80s, and although the group has issued albums on a steady basis ever since, lead singer/bassist Peter "Peavey" Wagner is the only original member still in attendance. First known as Avenger, the group issued a pair of recordings (Prayer of Steel and Depraved to Black) before switching their name to Rage, to avoid confusion with a British band of the same name. 1986's Reign of Fear signaled the group's first album to be released under their new name, as they continued on in the same heavy hitting musical direction on subsequent releases; although they used some orchestral flourishes on their late-'90s experimental albums Lingua Mortis (1996) and XIII (1999).

Rage formed in 1984 under the name, Avenger. After releasing their debut album Prayers of Steel and their Depraved to Black EP in 1985, the band changed their name to Rage because there was another band in England that also carried the moniker. Originally the new name was to be Furious Rage but it was eventually shortened to Rage. The first album released under the new name was Reign of Fear in 1986.

Rage's albums came out in regular, continuous intervals, and the band began touring with Running Wild, U.D.O., Motörhead and Saxon in the early 1990s.

Their 1992 album Trapped marked their international breakthrough, a short highlight being Rage's tour in Japan. Their success was repeated again in 1993 with the release of The Missing Link. After change in their lineup, Rage went on to record Lingua Mortis, the first classical album by a German metal act, in 1996. Their material was performed live for the first time in late summer 1996 in Kufstein, Austria. Subsequently, Rage, and the orchestra used, embarked on a celebrated Christmas tour and played several European festivals.

Their thirteenth album XIII was released in March 1998. The next album Ghosts was followed by a major line-up change, featuring Peavy Wagner, Victor Smolski and Mike Terrana.

The trio performed at Wacken Open Air in August 1999, revealing their newest album Welcome to the Other Side. The following releases Unity and Soundchaser were met with enthusiastic response from critics and fans alike. Rage toured with Primal Fear in 2002 and Helloween in 2003.

Rage recently celebrated their 25th anniversary with the release of the EP "Gib Dich Nie Auf / Never Give Up".

In 2006, Terrana left Rage voluntarily after a disagreement where he allegedly spat at Peavy Wagner's face. On 1 January 2007, it was announced that their new drummer would be André Hilgers, formerly the drummer of Axxis.

In 2007, the band toured in Europe with a show featuring one symphonic orchestra from Minsk, Belarus under the name "Lingua Mortis Orchestra", and the concert in that August at Wacken Open Air at 80,000 fans was recorded for a DVD to be included as bonus to their new album called Carved in Stone, which was released on 22 February 2008.

The band played at Bundesvision Song Contest 2009 (BUVISOCO) on 13 February 2009, the Festival was hosted by Stefan Raab (TV Total). Rage became more famous through their participation in the show, as well as by being placed third.

Close

Группа была основана в 1983 году под именем Avenger, под которым выпустила свои первые два альбома. Музыканты вскоре вынуждены были сменить название, обнаружив, что оно совпадает с названием другой группы. Основателями группы являются Питер Вагнер (вокал, бас), Йохен Шредер (гитара), Йорг Михаэль (ударные) и Томас Грунинг (гитара), которого вскоре сменил Руди Граф (экс-Warlock). Группа играла спид-метал и пауэр-метал со значительной долей трэш-метала.

В 1988 группу покинули Граф и Михаэль, разочарованные неудачным турне по США. С выходом альбома «Perfect Man» группа начала набирать популярность, гастролируя с Saxon, Running Wild, U.D.O., Motörhead. В середине 90-х группа в очередной раз сменила состав и музыкальный стиль, экспериментируя с трэш-металом. В этот период в состав группы входили: Вагнер, гитаристы Спирос Эфтимиадис и Свен Фишер, ударник Крис Эфтимиадис.

В 1999 группа полностью распалась после постепенного ухода из нее почти всех музыкантов (кроме Пиви Вагнера). Тот, однако, не стал сворачивать проект и продолжил его с новым составом, в который вошли известный белорусским гитарист Виктор Смольский (родился в Минске, Беларусь) и ударник Майк Террана. В 2007 Террану сменил Андре Хильгерс. Группа продолжила эксперименты, смешивая хэви-метал, пауэр-метал и иногда трэш-метал. Одним из самых успешных творений стал концептуальный альбом 2003 года «SoundChaser», в котором рассказывается мистическая история в духе книг Говарда Лавкрафта. Последние годы группа часто выступала в России вместе с группой «Кипелов», где параллельно работал Смольский.
