EPK – Rage In My Eyes- Spiral (EP) (2021)
For fans of Blind Guardian, Helloween, Symphony X, Iron Maiden
“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.” – Rage In My Eyes

“Listening to Ice Cell is a true delight. The quality presented in this album, performed with technical excellence, is of musicians that know what they are doing. The vocal work performed by Jonathas Pozo is sure to elicit applauses from any audience.” – Rated 10/10 – Whiplash.net (Brazil)
“What is more important to you on a new Metal band? Traditional values or an innovative touch? Doesn`t matter what you`re looking for, Rage In My Eyes offers both. This is a must-have album.” – Rated 9/10 – Roadie Crew magazine (Brazil)
“Ice Cell is an album which is a hell lot of fun, there are some seriously good shredding riffs here and excellent guitar solos that trade off flawlessly with a fantastic vocal performance by Jonathas Pozo. Furthermore, this album has a memorability about it, brought partly by the milonga, that would also manage to appeal to fans of folk metal. This is an exceptionally enjoyable album.” – Powerplay Magazine (UK) – Rated 8/10
“The album consists of 11 songs that can be heard very pleasantly, has an effective songwriting and careful not to dwell on useless trappings. We feel that we don’t have an inexperienced band in front of us and it surprises me how a band of such value has not yet found a label to support them; I hope that soon someone will notice this band Rage In My Eyes and their “Ice cell” album, because they deserve much more than many others!”- All Around Metal (Italy) – Rated 4/5
“The first band to perform with an energy worthy of those who are there on stage making history and with this huge responsibility, was Rage In My Eyes. And who knows, there we have incredibly dedicated musicians who for 16 years have provided us with with Scelerata, that, coincidentally, have already been backing band for Paul Di’anno first singer to have officialy made an album with Iron Maiden. The show was a steamroller of heavy metal and fury so to speak. Although short, for obvious reasons, one could see the satisfaction of those present at seeing “the blood of his blood” on stage.” – Iron Maiden Brasil, review on the show with Iron Maiden
“It was a victorious performance and one that certainly pleased the thousands of headbangers in the house. Rage In My Eyes has plenty of baggage and experience to conquer even higher places in the competitive world market of Heavy Metal.” – Roadie Crew magazine (Brazil), review on the show with Iron Maiden

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.
