Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Michael---the members of the Progressive Metal band Angelrage---have announced they are writing songs for their first new album in 5 years! After the band released 3 songs from the 1995 album Fight the Devil, fan response was overwhelming, and people around the world began emailing the band, asking for more. "It's going to be heavier than Fight," says lead singer Michael. "It's called No Peace To the Wicked and we have several songs already completed." The group has drawn fire from Fundamentalist groups concerned that the band's violent imagery might send the wrong message. "I stand by everything we do," says wild-maned guitarist Raphael. "Everything we depict as far as artwork is drawn directly from the Bible, we just illustrate it. Most of our artwork actually just depicts the angels of God victorious over Satan and his angels. But usually when they sit down and talk with us, they see that we are for real, and that we are just trying to reach kids in the language they love---music. I would dare say a teenager would listen to us sing about Jesus the way we do, with the power that we use to bring it accross, than would sit and listen to a preacher talking at them for hours." Details are being kept secret at the moment, but expect an announcement soon on the possibility of a tour. One thing is for sure---Angelrage is back! |
