Description
Released in 2020, Wings of Rage is a late‑career highlight from German heavy/power‑metal veterans Rage — a record that blends their classic melodic aggression with modern production and tight, focused songwriting.
The 2020 Steamhammer 2×LP edition is pressed on black vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve, featuring full lyrics, credits, and expanded artwork. This pressing includes a vinyl‑exclusive bonus track, “Shine A Light (Reprise)”, not available on the CD edition.
The album showcases the trio lineup of Peavy Wagner, Marcos Rodriguez, and Vassilios “Lucky” Maniatopoulos, delivering a sharp, energetic performance across all 13 tracks.
