RAGE recently extended its deal with Nuclear Blast Records.
"We are happy that our common history will continue," the band said in a statement. "At Nuclear Blast we really feel at home and we look forward to all upcoming projects. After the great success of [the last RAGE album] 'Strings To A Web', we are even more motivated and we saw the same energy in Nuclear Blast as well."
"Strings To A Web" entered the Media Control chart in the band's home country at position No. 27. Released on February 5 via Nuclear Blast Records, the CD was recorded at Twilight Hall Studio and was produced by Charlie Bauerfeind (BLIND GUARDIAN, HAMMERFALL). The cover artwork was created by Thomas Ewerhard (AVANTASIA, THERION),and it shows the soundchaser as a spider, caught in a web.
The special two-track single, "Into The Light / Purified", was released on January 15.
The limited-edition digibook version of "Strings To A Web" includes a high-quality DVD including 15 live clips. The main portion of the DVD consists of the "best-of" show RAGE played at the Wacken Open Air festival in 2009, including guest appearances by Hansi Kürsch (BLIND GUARDIAN),Schmier (DESTRUCTION) and Jen Majura (BLACK THUNDER LADIES).
"Strings To A Web" includes melodic and anthemic tracks such as "Into The Light" and "The Beggar's Last Dime", as well as powerful thrashers like "Purified" and "Tomorrow Never Comes". But the heart of the record comes in the shape of the 16-minute masterpiece "Empty Hollow", a progressive fairytale that unites everything RAGE is about.
