SPEAK OF THE DEAD (2006)
320 KBPS

This trio has done it again! They´ve delivered us another great piece of work! This is the 17th (!!!) studio release of this band and the 4th with this line-up. The album is divided into two parts: the first part is "Suite Lingua Mortis" on which the band co-operates with an orchestra, the Inspector Symphonic Orchestra of Minsk, Belarusia. Here, the orchestra is used as an active member of the band and not just as background. The outcome is just fantastic! "Suite Lingua Mortis", that has to be considered as one big song, is divided in 8 parts five of which are instrumental. It diplays a great combination of the orchestral music mixed with the band's usual riffing heavy metal songwriting including catchy choruses and shows us the song-writing ingenuity of Victor Smolski. Three songs contain vocals, "Innocent", "No Regrets" and "Beauty", these are the best of the album especially "Innocent".
The rest of the album shows us how RAGE sounds in 2006. A great combination of teutonic thrashy riffs, catchy choruses, great rhythmic section and many progressive parts. RAGE is not an ordinary power metal band because of the technical attributes of the members of the band, something which can be heard throughout the whole album.
"Speak Of The Dead" is an album that grabs you by the "balls" from the first second! The first thing that will come to your mind is "Wow" and next thing that you´ll do is press the repeat button as there are no fillers, only good songs!
