Metal Blade Records has confirmed August 18th as the official release date for The End Of Tomorrow, the new album from Massachusetts metalers RAVAGE.

According to the label: The End Of Tomorrow is a 12 song tour de force combining the strong songwriting of the band's previous releases with a clear, crisp, and ultra-powerful modern production.

With the new recording evidencing musical leaps and bounds in both songwriting and production, Ravage set out to find a cover artist who would do justice to their work. The band soon announced that they had secured the talents of the one and only master of metal cover art Ed Repka - best known for his work with MEGADETH and DEATH.

Ravage then signed with California-based Metal Blade Records to release the new CD.

Ravage's new album seamlessly intertwines the sounds of New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, late 80's American Thrash Metal and late 90's European Powermetal to showcase the band's signature style.

The album is sure to be enjoyed by metal maniacs young and old as it blends the soaring vocal and guitar melodies of IRON MAIDEN and HELLOWEEN with the raw power of thrashers like TESTAMENT and KREATOR, presented in a crisply modern production-style courtesy of producer Peter Rutcho, the mastermind behind the band VOMITRON.

The End Of Tomorrow is only the beginning for Ravage, who are only in their mid-20's despite having played together for over 10 years!

Stay tuned for further album updates.

As previously reported, Ravage are putting together a North American tour. The band will be playing everywhere and anywhere to take The End Of Tomorrow to the metal maniacs of America.
