December 13, 2008, 15 years ago
RAGE guitarist Victor Smolski has issued the following update:
"I would like to thank all fans for their fantastic support during the year 2008. The journey, that took me around the world from Europe to Russia and Japan, was magnificent! The Rage concert together with the Symphonic Orchestra in my hometown Minsk in Belarus was surely the most impressing one.All the clinics and producing the workshop DVD in Tokyo was great fun, thanks to all the companies who made this happen.
In motorsport, I could celebrate hard-one success this year. Furthermore, a song I produced, was presented on the Essen Motor Show 08 to be the next years presentation title for the RCN racing series, where I will start again with my racing team in 2009.
The year 2009 will start with two new CD releases: On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Rage, the EP Gib Dich Nie Auf will be released on 16th of January 2009, the new Mind Odyssey CD Time To Change It on 27th of February 2009.
Rage are also planning some concerts to celebrate the 25th anniversary. I'm really looking forward for a combined tour with Mind Odyssey. That means: 3 hours on stage, first with Mind Odyssey, after that full power with Rage...., will surely become a challenge for me.
One of the biggest highlights of 2009 will certainly be the participation of Rage at the Bundes Vision Song Contest on 13th of February 2009 in Potsdam. On 20th of January 2009, we will be guests at Stefan Raabs 'TV Total' show again, presenting our new song 'Gib Dich Nie Auf'. I've been told, that many people don't believe, that a metal band will win this contest again, but I truly believe in Germany's Metal heads.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Please think about your health while celebrating."
