RAGE Release ‘Spreading The Plague’ EP
September 30th, 2022

Bochum, Germany-based metal band Rage issued six-track EP Spreading The Plague on September 30th, 2022 through Steamhammer / SPV.

Spreading The Plague consists of the tracks ‘To Live And To Die’, ‘Spreading The Plague’ and ‘The King Has Lost His Crown’, all three from the production phase of Rage’s 2021 album Resurrection Day and previously unreleased.

Frontman Peter ‘Peavy’ Wagner explains: “These are numbers that we recorded at the same studio quality level as our Resurrection Day material but have deliberately held back until now to have something special up our sleeve for our fans when we’ll be able to tour again at last.”

Rounding out the EP are three bonus tracks: an unplugged version of ‘A New Land’; ‘The Price Of War 2.0’ which was previously released in June 2020 as a digital single, and a live version of the track ‘Straight To Hell’ – a live stream from the Balve Cave venue in July 2020.

Cover artwork was designed by Karim König.

The track listing is as follows:

01. ‘To Live And To Die’
02. ‘Spreading The Plague’
03. ‘The King Has Lost His Crown’
04. ‘A New Land’ (acoustic version)
05. ‘The Price Of War 2.0’
06. ‘Straight To Hell’ (Live from the Cave)

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)

A music video was filmed for the track ‘To Live And To Die’, which can be viewed below.
