Rage – The Devil Strikes Again (2016)

“The Devil Strikes Again” is already the 22nd studio album by ‘Rage’. After a radical change in line-up last year they made a stylistic return to the old days. The previously released EP “My Way” already makes this clear. Hardness and speed characterize the entire work, it is clear that ‘Rage’ want to continue in the style of “Trapped” and “Back In Mind” – with this disc they have achieved this without a doubt! There are other parallels to their history, for example the song “The Devil Strikes Again” is a sequel to “Sent By The Devil”.

In addition to the regular ten tracks six more songs are included on the bonus CD, three of them extraordinary covers of Rush, Y&T and the Skid Row remake “Slave To The Grind” – in the past all these songs have always been important to the band!
