Ravage: Post-Show Interview with Vocalist Al Ravage 8/21/09 (Metal Blade)

I had the opportunity to catch up with vocalist Al Ravage from the Boston-based band Ravage (Metal Blade) after the band's set at Dingbatz last month.



Ravage is currently in the midst of a coast-to-coast tour in support of their Metal Blade debut CD The End of Tomorrow. The band is back in the area for shows at Club Europa (with Cage) on Sept. 13th and a "TBD" location in Jersey City on Sept. 14th.

Ravage released an independent EP ("Freedom Fighter") last year which sounded like a cross between old-school thrash crossed with NWOBHM melodies. The band's music caught my ear right away and, when I saw that the band's only area show was at Dingbatz, I figured that a chance to see the band live was worth an hour drive to Clifton, NJ on a Friday night (and I hate driving through the Lincoln Tunnel at any hour).

Note: Ravage has just added a show at Club Europa with Cage on September 13th



Ravage played a great set which included material from the "Freedom Fighter" EP and the band's Metal Blade debut The End of Tomorrow, which came out last Tuesday. The band's set also included a spot-on cover of Judas Priest's "Nightcrawler" (which is included on The End of Tomorrow).
