Product Description
Contents: German metal heavyweights Rage Against the Machine have released their third album with a new lineup, "Wings of Rage"! More aggressive and melodic than ever before, the band's sharp playing and vocal melodies make this a perfect album! Includes a newly recorded version of the classic "Higher Than the Sky," "HTTS 2.0." Furthermore, the Japanese edition includes a studio jam of the early classic "Down by Low" as a bonus track. Since their debut with the album "Reign of Fear" (1986), Rage has released numerous powerful works while undergoing many member changes. Since adopting a new lineup in 2015 with Peter "Peavy" Wagner (vocals/bass), Marcos Rodriguez (guitar), and Vasilios "Lucky" Maniatopoulos (drums), Rage released two albums, "The Devil Strikes Again" (2016) and "Seasons of the Black" (2017), which centered on their straightforward and aggressive style reminiscent of their 90s work while also emphasizing their melodic side. Their songs, which returned to their roots while also introducing new elements, have been highly praised, and "Wings of Rage" is another excellent work that follows in that vein. As with the previous two albums, this work was written by Peavy and Marcos, and it unfolds Rage's signature power metal centered on edgy guitar riffs, while showcasing an even more aggressive performance than before. With vocal harmonies showcasing the vocal talents of Marcos and Lucky, the album features catchy chorus melodies and Marcos's beautifully constructed and flashy guitar solos, making every track a must-listen, with exciting songs coming one after another. There's even a power ballad incorporating strings, making this a work that pure metal fans can truly enjoy. A newly recorded version of the classic "Higher Than the Sky," titled "HTTS 2.0," is also included.
