Rage - Trapped - 2CD DIGIPAK

RAGE were already a hard-working band in the eighties, but they had to find themselves first. On albums like "Perfect Man" (1988) and "Secrets In A Weird World" (1989) the line-up of Peavy Wagner (v./b.), Manni Schmidt (g.) and Chris Efthimiadis (dr.) could let off steam stylistically, on the follow-up "Reflections Of A Shadow" (1990) even with the addition of some keyboards. At the beginning of the nineties, however, the metal scene got a more contemporary, riff- and groove-emphasising touch, which also did not pass RAGE by. These developments have left clear traces on the two works "Trapped!" and "The Missing Link". On these longplayers, the trio was able to improve qualitatively and delivered numerous hits, which became a fixed part of their live set in the following years (among others 'Solitary Man', 'Enough Is Enough', 'Medicine', 'Firestorm', 'Refuge', 'Nevermore'). These two albums not only gave the band a huge popularity boost, but also rightly went down in history as RAGE classics.Now, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary, the two legendary albums are being released as a strictly limited special edition including demo versions and unreleased tracks. For RAGE fans, these reissues are of course indispensable!
