Ravager

Ravager is a thrash metal band that first kicked off in late 2014 in Walsrode, Lower Saxony, Germany. The founding lineup included Marcel Lehr and Dario Rosenberg on guitars, André Sawade on drums, and Philip Herbst handling vocals. Their early days were spent honing a raw, energetic sound, and by 2015, Justus Mahler had joined as their full-time bassist, rounding out the group. Ravager’s first EP, "Alarm Clock Terror," arrived in 2016, quickly earning the band local attention and eventually landing them a record deal with Iron Shield Records. Their debut full-length—titled "Eradicate... Annihilate... Exterminate..."—dropped in February 2017 and showcased their relentless, modern take on classic thrash. Two years later, "Thrashletics" hit the shelves, further cementing their reputation as one of Germany’s up-and-coming thrash outfits. By 2021, they released "The Third Attack," proving the band had plenty of fire left—both in the studio and on stage.

Known for balancing the old-school thrash spirit with crisp, contemporary production, Ravager’s lineup has remained impressively stable, and their live shows are as explosive as their records. The band’s journey is a classic example of youthful determination paying off, from their early DIY roots to sharing stages across Germany and beyond.
