Rage resigns with Nuclear Blast

With their current album Strings To A Web, German metal legends RAGE climbed up to #27 in the German charts and showcased different faces of the band; pure heavy metal thunder, classical and progressive landscapes, and powerful thrash anthems. Their latest success story helps secure the band a new deal with their partner Nuclear Blast.

"We are happy that our common history will continue," a band statement reads. "At Nuclear Blast we really feel beeing at home and we look forward to all upcoming projects. After the great success of Strings To A Web we are even more motivated and we saw the same energy in Nuclear Blast as well. Rage On - Metal Headz!!!"

Strings To A Web saw an official North American release and distribution via Canada's Sonic Unyon Metal in late June.

The North American version of the album features a special two-disc set that includes a high quality bonus DVD bearing 15 live Rage clips and more. The main part is the "Best Of" show Rage played at the Wacken Open Air festival 2009, including guest performances by Hansi Kürsch (BLIND GUARDIAN), Schmier (DESTRUCTION) and Jen Majura (BLACK THUNDER LADIES). The DVD also includes four more live clips taken from Masters Of Rock 2009 Festival and a 2009 concert in Sofia, Hungary. View the full track listing for the combo and more below.
