RAGE “It's the best of both worlds”

In a recent interview with BW&BK RAGE frontman/founder
Peter “Peavy” Wagner discussed the difference between composing with an orchestra for their new album, Speak Of The Dead, versus the way they composed the classical pieces for the Lingua Mortis album in 1996:

Peavy: “It was a completely different thing this time around. Victor (Smolski/guitars) composed and arranged everything for the orchestra by himself, and I did compose some of the classical material. I was involved at the very beginning when we discussed what kind of direction the new album was going to take.

But when we got together to rehearse the ideas I saw that Victor had everything straight in his mind. We decided that Victor would focus on the orchestral thing and I would take care of the metal stuff.So really, it's the best of both worlds on this album.”
