RAVAGE IS...
THE OLD GUARD OF CLASSIC HEAVY METAL IS FADING AWAY. METAL LEGENDS LIKE DIO, MOTORHEAD, AND MANILLA ROAD HAVE SADLY LEFT US ALREADY. THE FEW GREAT ONES THAT REMAIN - IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, MEGADETH, ACCEPT, SAXON ET AL - MAY ONLY HAVE A FEW YEARS LEFT ON THE SCENE...
ALL IS NOT LOST, THOUGH. A NEW CROP OF HEAVY METALERS HAS RISEN TO CARRY THE CLASSIC SOUND FORWARD. SOME HAVE DUBBED THIS A "NEW WAVE OF TRADITIONAL HEAVY METAL".
RAVAGE IS A HEAVY METAL ACT FROM BOSTON, MA, USA WHICH IS FINALLY GAINING RECOGNITION AS PART OF THIS GROUP OF BANDS, BUT RAVAGE IS NOT NEW.
RAVAGE FORMED IN THE MID 90'S. IT WAS THE BRAINCHILD OF TWO BROTHERS, AL AND ELI, WHO SOUGHT TO KEEP THE HEAVY METAL FLAME ALIVE THROUGH THE GRUNGE AND NU-METAL YEARS. AROUND THE YEAR 2000 THEY JOINED WITH A SECOND GUITARIST NICK TO FORGE A SOUND THAT WAS UNIQUE AND MODERN-SOUNDING - COMBINING STRONG CLASSIC METAL MELODIES AND ROCKING RIFFS WITH AN AGGRESSIVE THRASH AND SPEED METAL INFLUENCE, AND THEY'VE KEPT THE FLAME LIT EVER SINCE.
RAVAGE HAS PLAYED SHOWS ACROSS THE USA AND EUROPE SUPPORTING HEAVY METAL ICONS LIKE OVERKILL, DORO PESCH, METAL CHURCH, LIZZY BORDEN, RIOT V AND OTHERS, AND HAS APPEARED AT INTERNATIONAL FESTIVALS SUCH AS THE HEADBANGER'S OPEN AIR FESTIVAL, THE MAGIC CIRCLE FESTIVAL, THE SWORDBROTHERS FEST, LEGIONS OF METAL AND THE WARRIORS OF METAL OPEN AIR.
RAVAGE HAS RELEASED RECORDINGS ON METALBLADE RECORDS, KARTHAGO / PURESTEEL RECORDS, AND REMEDY RECORDS. NOW THE BAND IS PREPARING TO RELEASE THEIR FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM OF ALL NEW ORIGINAL MATERIAL SINCE 2009'S "THE END OF TOMORROW" ALBUM.
ON APRIL 19TH RAVAGE RELEASED THE "SPIDER ON THE WORLD" FULL -LENGTH RECORD. THE ALBUM FEATURES 10 TRACKS OF SPEEDY, THRASHY, MELODIC AND HOOK-LADEN HEAVY METAL ANTHEMS TO SLAY THE MASSES.
