│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ When a mind is burning with ideas, there is ║ │
│║ nothing in the world that can stop it to keep on ║ │
│║ going, maybe the apocalypse, yet I might be even ║ │
│║ wrong about that. I got a proof right here that ║ │
│║ no matter how veteran you are in the business, ║ │
│║ once you have a brainstorm, there is no telling ║ │
│║ how fast you will be producing something new, ║ │
│║ even if you still have fresh material that is ║ │
│║ still being strongly promoted, needless to say ║ │
│║ supported live. It might sound like a cheap ║ │
│║ clichΘ, as it was done so many times in the 80s, ║ │
│║ however, we are not in Kansas anymore are we? ║ │
│║ And without further ado, hats off to the German, ║ │
│║ can they still be called as a whole German band? ║ │
│║ Power / Speed Metal band RAGE for the newly ║ │
│║ release of ôSeasons Of The Blackö just a little ║ │
│║ than a year since their previous album, ôThe ║ │
│║ Devil Strikes Againö. And yes you guessed it ║ │
│║ right, through Nuclear Blast Records. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It seemed amazing to me how RAGE were able to ║ │
│║ put the pedal to the Metal with ôSeasons Of ║ │
│║ Blackö, as if channeling their anger and ║ │
│║ darkened nature through nearly an entire ║ │
│║ release, taking out the ôThe Tragedy Of Manö ║ │
│║ epos. This new album is a biter, feisty, ║ │
│║ speeding the demon, fierce and I might even ║ │
│║ render is as brutal in the bandÆs standards. On ║ │
│║ the other hand, along with their survey of ║ │
│║ Thrash and Speed Metal in their material, there ║ │
│║ was still enough attention to their 80s and 90s ║ │
│║ legacies, preserving the melodies and the ║ │
│║ classic riffs that enriched the songs. Marcos ║ │
│║ Rodriguez, for instance, emerged with an ║ │
│║ addictive set of riffs and divergent soloing, ║ │
│║ which both sounded so natural and in place in an ║ │
│║ album that came to wreak havoc. Furthermore, I ║ │
│║ noticed a wicked side of Peavey that I canÆt ║ │
│║ really remember when was the last time when I ║ │
│║ listened to RAGE, he sounded so rough, as if ║ │
│║ about to explode any minute. I rather liked it ║ │
│║ as it also took me further down the road to the ║ │
│║ 80s albums, minus the high pitched voice he once ║ │
│║ had. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Other than the formed saga of ôThe Tragedy Of ║ │
│║ Manö, which in general was a compelling ║ │
│║ experience of a somewhat different songwriting ║ │
│║ style for RAGE, especially if comparing it to ║ │
│║ the recent albums, ôSeasons Of Blackö is a mere ║ │
│║ strike force, rampaging in a straightforward ║ │
│║ manner with what appeared to me as traditional ║ │
│║ songs, reaching the altitude point of the chorus ║ │
│║ and sailing with solo power moments. Honestly, ║ │
│║ for RAGE, more than that just wonÆt fit in their ║ │
│║ approach. ôSerpents In Disguiseö devoured me, ║ │
│║ such intense energies, relaying the mixture of ║ │
│║ 80s and 90s Heavy / Power Metal riffery, turning ║ │
│║ out to be a catchy tune driven by chaotic ║ │
│║ madness. ôSeptic Biteö produces a heavy weight ║ │
│║ chunks of meaty riffs, almost felt like a basic ║ │
│║ form of Thrash with a modern sounding guitar, ║ │
│║ eventually it converged around being memorable. ║ │
│║ ôBlackened Karmaö, a right decision for a video, ║ │
│║ emphasized once again that RAGE can well do ║ │
│║ without Victor Smolski as well as their undying ║ │
│║ ability to achieve great melodies around their ║ │
│║ blackness. ôJustifyö out of ôThe Tragedy Of Manö ║ │
│║ displayed an emotive track, on the course of ║ │
│║ being dramatic, breaths the same air as some of ║ │
│║ the bandÆs previous hits, virtually scours ║ │
│║ through its heritage. Highly recommended: ║ │
│║ ôSeason Of The Blackö, ôWalk Among The Deadö and ║ │
│║ ôFarewellö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Honestly, there were better RAGE albums when ║ │
│║ compared to this here release, nevertheless, ║ │
│║ this trio still got it in their experience and ║ │
│║ wits to create a profound Metal album that wonÆt ║ │
│║ let you down. ║ │
