RAVAGE Release New Album “Spider On The World”

RAVAGE, the traditional heavy metal rockers from Boston, Massachusetts have released “Spider on the World“, the band’s first album of all-new material since 2009’s “The End Of Tomorrow” which was released by Metal Blade Records.

“Spider on the World” is available now on an extremely limited collector’s edition double vinyl and also through paid digital download and streaming on all platforms worldwide through the band’s own Thrash With Power Records label.

The new record was mixed and mastered by Peter Rutcho who is known for his work with Revocation, Havok, Cellador, and Danny Elfman amongst others. It features the band’s signature blend of traditional metal stylings which weaves together elements of melodic, heavy, speed, power and thrash metal music.

Singer Al Ravage commented: “It’s finally here. We’re very excited to share this new slate of very powerful metal music with everyone. This record has obviously been a very long time in the making and we’ve worked hard to make the release as special as possible. We want to thank the great Andreas Marschall for creating two great artworks for us and Peter Rutcho for his great production work as always. Musically, I think this contains our best work and it’s easily our best-sounding record. I don’t think there’s a bad song in the bunch, but we’ll let you be the judge. If you like throwback metal presented with a crisp, modern production with lots of ripping guitar leads, gripping riffs and in-your-face melodic hooks, check it out. Ravage the Earth and Ravage In Peace in 2024! The spider has arrived!”

RAVAGE formed in Boston, Massachusetts, USA in the mid 90’s seeking to produce exciting, kick-ass music and offer an engaging live performance inspired by the classic metal heroes of yesteryear but with a fresh and modern edge. As many of the genre’s legacy acts begin to disappear, Ravage continues on, offering a new voice for traditional metal. Ravage has always ignored passing trends to instead offer a sound that unquestionably falls within the bounds of heavy metal and thrash, while remaining uniquely distinguishable from any band that has preceded them.

Ravage’s latest release “Spider On The World” follows in the same mold. The record has a crisp modern production courtesy of the band and metal productions master Pete Rutcho of Damage Studios who has mixed albums for Revocation, Danny Elfman, Havok and others.

Ravage’s core line-up from the original recording remains intact with founding vocalist Al Ravage and his brother, guitarist Eli Firicano combining with long-time guitarist Nick Izzo. Al Ravage’s unique vocal stylings and the guitarist’s dual lead guitar assault are complimented by the crushing rhythm section of drummer Toni Belchior and bassist Tommy G.

Ravage has toured the United States and Europe, playing in 17 countries and 30 states. The band has appeared at international festivals including the Headbager’s Open Air, Magic Circle Festival, and Swordbrothers Festivals in Germany, Legions of Metal Fest, New Mexico Metalfest and True Metal America festivals in the United States.
