HELLEVATE Release New Single Terry Bunch, September 7, 2024 Thrash metal powerhouse HELLEVATE has returned with their explosive new single, “Rage Dealers,” a track that promises to solidify their status as one of the most dynamic forces in the metal world today. “Rage Dealers” is the bridge between the bands previous EP, The Purpose Is Cruelty, and what comes next. It showcases HELLEVATE’s trademark blend of melodic thrash infused with elements of extreme and power metal. “In the process of writing our next album, we realized we had so many songs we liked that we felt we needed another way to get them out,” shared the band. “So, we decided to release a standalone single or two, otherwise we’d end up writing a double album! “Rage Dealers” about how there seems to be a constant incentive to keep everyone angry and miserable. The news and social media are the most obvious culprits, but it’s really everywhere! It’s the easiest way to get and maintain attention these days. You get hooked with some provocation, and you keep coming back, every time seeking out a little bit more than the last time. It really can be addicting. And you can see the effects it has on people all around you. “We didn’t intend to make a video for it, but in joking around about potential video ideas, we realized we actually had an idea we felt was strong. It was a lot of fun to make, and we’re excited for everyone to hear it!” “A new hope for thrash comes from the States…” wrote Ninni Cangiano of AllAroundMetal, and with “Rage Dealers,” HELLEVATE is proving exactly why they deserve that title. The new single is a relentless assault on the senses, driven by crushing riffs, blistering solos, and the razor-sharp vocals of frontman Robert Browne. The track is a testament to the band’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of thrash metal while staying true to their roots. “Rage Dealers” is a prime example of HELLEVATE’s commitment to writing unforgettable music that hits hard and leaves a lasting impression. Lyrically, the band continues to deliver powerful messages with directness and intensity, a refreshing approach in an era where artistic symbolism often takes center stage. Since their debut in 2012, HELLEVATE has built a reputation for delivering electrifying live performances, sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in metal, including EXODUS, KREATOR, ACCEPT, OVERKILL, DESTRUCTION, GHOUL, VENOM INC., and DANZIG, among others.
