Rage recently presented their new album to an international group of media people. The special event took place at the famous Nürburgring, where guitar player Victor Smolski had a motor race the same day, which he actually won. Strings To A Web will be released on February, 5th 2010 and was recorded at the Twilight Hall Studio and produced by Charlie Bauerfeind (BLIND GUARDIAN, HAMMERFALL and more). The cover artwork was done by Thomas Ewerhard (AVANTASIA, THERION and more), showing their soundchaser as a spider, caught in a web.

"I am really proud of the album, we hardly ever sounded more inspired and it is an absolute highlight in our career“, says founding member, bass player and vocalist Peavy Wagner. Drummer André Hilgers is adding: This album shows all the different faces and characters and I call it the most enormous and multifarious record I ever recorded.

The album includes melodic and hymnic tracks such as 'Into The Light', 'The Beggars Last Dime', as well as powerful thrash attacks like 'Purified' or the final track 'Tomorrow Never Comes'. But the heart of the record is the 16-minute long masterpiece 'Empty Hollow', a progressive fairytale that unites everything Rage is about.

"You can compare 'Empty Hollow' with our Lingua Mortis Suite from the Speak Of The Dead record. Theis song was recorded with an orchestra and is devided into five parts. As a band we have discovered a lot of new possibilities and elements, even in Peavy’s vocals, my way of playing guitar or the arrangements in Andre’s drumming“, says Victor Smolski.

Strings To A Web will be released on vinyl, jewelcase and a special limited digibook with great bonus material.
