Rage
"Carved In Stone" im Kasten

RAGE-Gitarrist Victor Smolski äusserte sich zum neuen Album:

„The studio job for the new RAGE album ‚Carved in Stone‘ is completed now, and finally I can listen to all tracks of the new CD by my HiFi rack with a quiet conscience, and I can say it has exactly become what we figured out before: STRAIGHT ON THE KISSER! (maybe you have to stop after 2-3 songs, getting a cold beer for a rest period…).

„From the beginning we decided to compose the songs for this CD more straight, concentrating on cool riffs and catchy melodies. Actually, with our new lineup it was easy to realize everything, as we pulled together with André [Hilgers; drums; AXXIS, SILENT FORCE] perfectly! All the recordings with our co-producer, sound engineer and almost fourth bandmember Charly Czajkowski runs perfectly, as well as the final mix with Charlie Bauerfeind. From my point of view I promise you brutal guitar riffs with fancy soli. In one song, I’ve hidden a modification of a real famous melody — the one who will first recognize this melody will get a present! At ‚Open My Grave‘, my sitar guitar came into operation, at ‚Lord of the Flies‘, I’ve contributed a phat keyboard arrangement.“

„Carved In Stone“ soll Anfang 2008 über Nuclear Blast Records veröffentlicht werden und enthält u.a. Songtitel wie: „Carved in Stone“, „Drop Dead“, „Gentle Murders“, „One Step Ahead“ und „Without You“.
