It's amazing how a group of 5 can stay together for around two decades even with a few-year break and a recent pandemic. Brandan Schieppati has battled through mental doubt during these trying times to keep the band alive during the virus. The end result is the 3-track EP Rage, filled with straight sh*t-loads of aggression!

Drummer Derek Youngsma blasts the band into the action of "P*ss You Away" that instantly makes one of the band's best classics. Gang chants, harsh growls, and harmonic cleans, all from Brandan Schieppati, blend with Marta Peterson's stunning background singing and icy symphonic keys unusual to metalcore. The band proven themselves to still be around during these trying times.

"Damage Done" reminds me of 2000s-era Dark Tranquillity with more of Peterson's enchanting keyboards, melodeath-ish riffing/soloing, and melancholic atmosphere. The chorus is definitely worth singing along to and makes a modern classic moment, alongside lyrics of love and hate. The final hardcore breakdown crashes through to instantly start a moshpit. This (un)holy trinity of songs ends with the title track, complete with sinister riffs, sharp solos, and serene synths that oughta land this song a spot in the soundtrack for the next Underworld movie. So epic and brutal!

This melancholic yet malevolent 3-track release is a very short yet great continuation of the band's career. They've returned since their 2018 album Love Will Kill All in a way that they don't overstay their welcome....

Favorites: all 3 of the tracks! (though they could've been slightly better)
