Rage: Reign of fear

What's your opinion on this album? It's in my top five Thrash albums. Heavy, raw, pure

Good debut album, it still had some AVENGER sound to it. Nice thrash/speed album.

Personally I think it's their weakest album from their first 4 releases, that's not saying that it's a poor album it's just that they got better with each release, yes as Krokus said it has the AVENGER feel to it and continued on from the early AVENGER material.

I know you say that it's one of your top 5 albums and eveybody is intitled to their opinions and beliefs, I doubt it would even make my top 10 Thrash / Speed albums for 1986 alone.

I've been trying to get Avenger's catalogue for a while. Tough to find...

One on ebay right now. This is actually all you need cause its both albums on one. Its ok nothing spectacular. I'm with Locky.

Very, best bet is to keep an eye out for the Official Rage Album "Black in Mind" some of those came with a bonus disc of the AVENGER material "Prayers of Steel" & "Depraved to Black", released by GUN Records in 1995,

Here's a picture of it.

huh.......interesting never seen that one. Maybe you'll come across it in game stop

That's it, I though I was purchasing the single CD until I got hope and saw the two discs, it's in one of those double Jewel cases that doesn't say "2CD" on the front, as the welsh would say "Bargin".

So the is on you.

It probably wont be two long until someone has the balls to call them selves that on Ebay.

lol I wouldn't be surprised

Just emailed my Sis in Germany. She's in charge of picking up the Avenger material.

There are some good songs, though as a whole it is still underdeveloped and I think 'Execution Guaranteed', the follow-up, is far superior, definitely a top speed/thrash album of that decade. The 'Reign of Fear' album and the Avenger material does sound a lot better live, as a lot of less well-done metal albums tend to do. The energy comes out live with that earliest stuff. Tons of pep on the three albums that would follow, though.

As for 'Black in Mind', everyone should have that one period. If you like a good, non-modern hybrid of meaty power/speed/thrash.

I actually prefer Avenger over the first few Rage discs - I find those supbar as far as speed/thrash goes. That Avenger disc to me is more energetic in places than those offerings and has a unique Motorhead/Grave Digger charm to it.

By the way.. I have the original Reign Of Fear up on ebay right now my ebay id is lildrummerboy79

I may bid on that. I'm also eyeing that Vio-lence CD. Can you hook a brutha up and PM me the matrix number on that one (Oppressing The Masses, that is)?

Anyway, on topic: I like Reign of Fear, but it pales when compared to the two that followed; Execution Guaranteed and Perfect Man. Those two rock my socks! Execution is a great mix of speed / thrash, and Perfect Man is speed metal excellence!!
