RAGE Release Digital Single ‘The Price Of War 2.0’
June 12th, 2020

Bochum, Germany-based metal band Rage issued the track ‘The Price Of War 2.0’ as a digital single on June 12th, 2020 through Steamhammer / SPV.

A music video was filmed for the track and can be viewed below.

In addition, an official Electronic Press Kit (EPK) for the single can also be accessed below.

‘The Price Of War 2.0’ is a re-recording of the song ‘The Price Of War’ from the band’s 1995 album Black In Mind. It is also the first Rage release to feature new guitarists Stefan Weber (ex-Axxis) and Jean Bormann (Rage & Ruins / ex-Angelic) who were recruited following the departure of guitarist Marcos Rodriguez.

Frontman Peter “Peavy” Wagner commented: “We’ve wanted for some time for Rage to be a quartet again, with two guitarists the way we operated back in the days of Black In Mind and End Of All Days [1996]. After Marcos had returned to Tenerife and consequently was no longer available, I used this opportunity to enlist two young guitarists.

“As you can tell from the clip, Stefan and Jean complement each other perfectly. They’re both young and bring a lot of fresh energy to the band. We consciously chose this number for the video because we also wanted to revitalise the sound of the Black In Mind era. The track was cut practically live for the clip, with only a few overdubs added. Rage will sound as heavy and punchy as we do on that song.

“As we’re not in a position to do any shows for obvious reasons at the moment, but the guys are bursting with energy, we’re using that momentum to work on new ideas that will probably be ready for release next year.”

Rage’s line-up is as follows:

Peter “Peavy” Wagner (lead vocals and bass)
Stefan Weber (guitar)
Jean Bormann (guitar and backing vocals)
Vassilios “Lucky” Maniatopoulos (drums and backing vocals)

Twenty-fourth studio record Wings Of Rage was released in January 2020 via Steamhammer / SPV.
