Ravage is a young, energetic, talented and experienced heavy metal band hailing from Boston MA. The band was formed back in 1996 by vocalist Al Ravage, and guitarist Eli Joe Firicano. After numerous line-up changes and years spent perfecting the band's sound - a unique and seemless blend of early 80's style NWOBHM, late 80's thrash, and 90's power metal - Ravage finally solidified it's line-up with the addition of guitarist Nick Izzo, bassist Chris Zenga, and drummer George 'GTB' Bellofatto. Ravage's first studio recording, the self-released 'Curse of Heaven' EP was issued in 2003 to rave reviews internationally. Ravage followed up with the well-recieved 'Spectral Rider' full-length CD 2005 released on Germany's Karthago Records. The band then unleashed it's live assault on the masses with local gigs in support of such well known metal acts as METAL CHURCH, OVERKILL, MELIAH RAGE, LIZZY BORDEN and Alex Skolnick of TESTAMENT. In 2006 Ravage traveled to Germany and played The Swordbrother's festival in Andernach with classic metalers ATTACKER and DEADLY BLESSING before returning home to work on the band's latest full-length.

Ravage's latest offering, the highly anticipated full-length entitled 'The End Of Tomorrow', is a 12 song tour de force combining the strong song-writing of the band's previous releases with a clear, crisp, and ultra-powerful modern production. Though the recording has been completed, the band is currently considering offers from labels and plans to release the album at the end of 2008. In the meantime, to generate excitment for the new release, Ravage will self-release the 'Freedom Fighter' EP on May 16th 2008. The EP will feature some songs from the forthcoming album as well as some exclusive tracks and a cover of IRON MAIDEN's 'Be Quick Or Be Dead'. The band is currently planning live gigs to support the release of the new EP. With the release of 'The End Of Tomorrow', Ravage's legacy of heavy metal mastery has only just begun!
