Herne, Germany-based power metal group Refuge, consisting of the 1987-1994 line-up of Rage, issued debut full-length studio album Solitary Men on June 8th, 2018 through Frontiers Music Srl.
Frontman Peavy Wagner commented: “The band sounds nearly the same like back then, maybe a bit more relaxed, mature, with more individual experience. But the general vibe is still the same. We know each other blindly. In order to write the songs, we created the same set-up we had 30 years ago. We rented the same rehearsal room and jammed together in a live situation and the magic was back! I’m glad that we could use and finalize some of our ideas from back then, stuff that we couldn’t use in that days for several reasons. The song ‘Waterfalls’, for example, was always one of my unfinished favourites. I’m proud we were able to bring it to light now finally!”
