Rage-Speak of the Dead (Release Date: 05-16-06) Nuclear Blast Records

Rage is the band in German metal, melting faces since the 1985 release of "Prayers of Steel". There is no doubt that Rage is indeed "legendary". That notion still rings true with "Speak of the Dead". Rage is an extremely technical metal band, and this new album features more electronics than ever before, which works wonderfully. The three-piece have evolved over the years, making sure to stay current and modernizing parts. This new album is insanely heavy, and a thrill to blast in any stereo of mine. There should be no disappointments to any metal head
