Rage is a seminal German heavy metal band that has been shredding eardrums and pioneering the power metal subgenre since their formation in the early 1980s. Originally founded under the name Avenger, they changed their name to Rage in 1986. Helmed by the band's lead vocalist and bassist, Peter "Peavy" Wagner, Rage has been known for their consistently explosive energy, intricate compositions, and lyrical themes that often delve into social and political commentary. Over the years, the band's lineup has seen numerous changes, but Wagner's leadership has remained the constant driving force.

With a discography that has grown extensively over the decades, Rage cemented their place in the hearts of metal enthusiasts worldwide. Their later releases, such as "Resurrection Day" and "The Price of War 2.0," showcase the band's ability to adapt to the ever-evolving metal scene while staying true to their roots. Live recordings, including "Live in Poland," display Rage's prowess as a powerful live act, relentlessly captivating their audiences with a blend of raw energy and precise musicianship. Albums like "Seasons of the Black" and "Wings of Rage" stand as testaments to their continued relevance in the genre, and songs like "Spreading the Plague" and "Arrogance and Ignorance" prove that Rage remains as ferocious and thought-provoking as ever, never shying away from confronting the issues that they see shaping the world.
