Band Members: ACT OF RAGE was founded 2004 after a spontaneous telephone call between Johnny Brugger (vocals) and Felix Neumann (lead guitars & productions). Felix was looking for some vocals to complete a song and shortly after ensued a fun studio session. After going through a lot of sub par band names like "Bastard Choir" & "Mendulla Oblongata" it was decided unanimously to baptize the band with the powerful name; ACT OF RAGE! Soon, thereafter, a mutual friend of Felix and Johnny's called Maurice Müller alias Monne (Ratsbane, Bang, Bang you are dead) was brought into play, the band's common ground had roots in a love for Iron Maiden, Slayer and some great Death Metal. In 2006, Act of Rage had their first remarkable success when the Spanish magazine "sangre e fuego" discovered the band. The completed E.P ACT OF RAGE (sold out) was added to all magazine units so that the band could spread their thrashin' message!After years of hanging in the studio, making lot of recording experience etc, the time to play live felt right for the band and so in 2007 they met Robin Mayer, a loyal and true Metal passionate with great guitar skills. He first played the bass, before he deceided to change the instrument to guitars.But there was still a lack of musicians... Despair began to sink in when no suitable bass player could be found. After thorough auditions, no suitable player who felt like "The One" showed up, however, Finally in 2009 the band discovered "Mr. Holy Grail", the one who gave ACT OF RAGE the ability to play live: Angelo Giordano.This text was written by Gavin (Alestorm)"Gunmans Poem" produced and mixed by Felix Neumann in newmansounds recording studio/ mastered by Lasse Lammert.
Influences: Slayer, Exodus, Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Motörhead, Pantera, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Death, Metallica, Darkthrone..muahah
Sounds Like: Hmmm I would say like a modern sounding mix of Thrash/Death Metal with a big portion of rough Rock n Roll. We sound like The fist in the balls of society. Or just PURE FUCKIN METAL !
