New EP "My Way" Announced By Rage, Dates With First Tour With New Lineup Revealed

Germany's Rage, reborn following the split with Victor Smolski and Andre Hilgers with the new lineup of Marcos Rodriguez (guitars) and Vassilios Maniatopoulous (drums) backing founder Peavy Wagner (bass/vocals), have announced a new EP "My Way" and the first live dates for the revised lineup. The 4-track EP will be issued via Nuclear Blast on January 22nd as a MCD and a 7"-vinyl exclusively. Pre-order "My Way" at this location.

Peavy stated: "This EP will shorten your waiting time until the release of our new album – the first one since 2012 – which will be in the shops next May…," reveals Peavy.

The EP contains four tracks, two re-recorded ones from the splendid album "Black In Mind" and a brand-new song in an English and Spanish. The track list is:

1. My Way (New Song)
2. Black In Mind (2015 Re-Recorded)
3. Sent By The Devil (2015 Re-Recorded)
4. Apuesto A Ganar (Spanish version of 'My Way')

In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of "Black In Mind" - one of the ultimate must-have records from Rage - the band will play a tour throughout Europe, on which Peavy will introduce the new band on stage for the first time.

"RAGE are back! After the opening show at Metal Hammer Paradise on November 14th in Ferienpark Weissenhäuser Strand/Germany, we will be back in December with something special. On the 'Black In Mind' Tour we will introduce our new lineup with an exclusive set list," explains band boss Peavy.
