German metal band, Rage, have released the new single, "Toxic Waves" (Single Edit). The full version song is also included on the new double studio album, Afterlifelines.

Peavy Wagner comments: "The pollution of our planet is brought to a never-imagined climax, the systems collapse."

The song is available on all platforms here, and is accompanied by a lyric video. Watch below:

In addition to the release of the double album, Rage invites fans to join them on their extensive 2024 world tour, with shows and festival appearances in Canada, Japan and European countries such as Germany, Austria, Greece, Poland, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Spain and Scandinavia. Added to the bargain, Peavy Wagner has already announced a major Rage biography launch for autumn 2024 to mark the group’s 40th anniversary, including lots of rare photos, behind-the-scenes material and plenty of exciting anecdotes.
