Rage In My Eyes has been working on their second release under this name
over the past year and are excited to finally bring it to fruition. “Spiral” will
join the 2019 full length “Ice Cell” under this current band name, however, the
musicians also released 3 full length albums “The Sniper” (2012), “Skeletons
Domination” (2008) and “Darkness & Light” (2006) under the name Scelerata,
which ran from 2002-2018. The band explains the new EP:
“This EP was written and made during a pandemic. All band
members suffered losses of loved ones during the pandemic, some directly
related to covid, some not. Also due to covid, the band couldn’t get together
in a practice room to jam to the tracks. Each member had to work on their part
separately, which was something new within the band. Plus, some songs were
being written and arranged during the recording sessions, so we felt it was
being made in real-time. All of the above impacted lyrics and the songwriting.
We like to think of this EP as a way to say farewell to our dear loved ones and
as a spiral of emotions that keeps coming and going.”
It’s evident that creating a journey for the listener is of
utmost importance for the band; they explain that the tracklist was carefully
thought out and placed in particular order and the EP is best enjoyed from
beginning to end. The EP is five songs long with a total running time of under
20 minutes for a nice succinct burst of Brazilian heavy metal flavour that will
leave listeners wanting more from this long-running and highly talented group
of musicians.
Lightly proggy, and technically approachable, Rage In My Eyes brings
a South American flair to traditional heavy metal. They are recommended for
fans of Symphony X, Iron Maiden and Metallica.
The new EP is out as of October 15, 2021 and available
on Rageinmyeyes.bandcamp.com, Spotify.

About:
RAGE IN MY EYES introduces to the world
a unique kind of music. Being from southern Brazil, the band shows a side of
the country most people don’t know about. Blending heavy/prog metal with
elements of milonga – which is a music genre from southern Brazil, Uruguay and
Argentina – the band presents new sound to the metal genre.
The band’s first album “Ice Cell” was recorded in 2017 and
2018, partially in Los Angeles due to drummer Francis Cassol’s move to the city
and partially in their native Porto Alegre, Brazil.
For 16 years the band went under the name Scelerata, which
had a huge history in the Brazilian heavy metal scene. The band had three
albums released worldwide, including the internationally acclaimed album The
Sniper – partially recorded in Germany, at the Blind Guardian studio – that
featured guest appearances from Paul DiAnno (former Iron Maiden) and Andi Deris
(Helloween).
Scelerata was also Paul DiAnno’s official Brazilian backing
band from 2009 to 2014, playing 50+ shows with this heavy metal icon. With this
huge background, the musicians are now aiming for the future.
RAGE IN MY EYES have teamed up with some of the best
professionals in the heavy metal business to deliver a head-turning EP in 2021
entitled “Spiral” to follow the success of their 2019 full-length “Ice Cell”.
The new EP will feature plenty of material for all different types of metal
lovers. It has great guitar riffs, fast drum parts, intricate instrumental
parts plus powerful yet melodic vocals.
The EP was written and made during a Covid pandemic. All
band members suffered losses of loved ones during the pandemic, some directly
related to Covid, some not. Also due to Covid, the band couldn’t get together
in a practice room to jam the material. Each member had to work on their part
separately, which was something new within the band. Plus, some songs were
being written and arranged during the recording sessions, so they felt it was
being made in real time. All of the above impacted the EP’s lyrics and
songwriting. They like to think of this record as a way to say farewell to
their dear loved ones and as a spiral of emotions that keeps coming and going
during Covid times.
RAGE IN MY EYES’ new EP “Spiral” is due out October 15th,
2021.
Shared Stage with:
Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Dream Theater, Kamelot, Gamma Ray,
Angra, Edguy
