Ravager - Biography


Biography

Ravager is a Thrash Metal band founded in late 2014 by Marcel Lehr (Guitars), Dario Rosenberg (Guitars), André Sawade (Drums) and Philip Herbst (Vocals) in Walsrode, Germany.

2014-2015
The young band began writing their first songs. During that period André Sawade still played the bass guitar and the band was searching for a drummer. Since that search turned out to be quite tough Sawade decided to take the chair. By early 2015 Justus Mahler completed the lineup as Ravager's bass player.

2016-2017
After some first local gigs the recording of the 4-track-EP ''Alarm Clock Terror'' followed which was released independently on March 12th, 2016. It helped the aspiring band to gain some recognition and - at last - to strike a record deal with ''Iron Shield Records'' for their first full-length album called ''Eradicate ? Annihilate ? Exterminate ?'', which was released on February 17th, 2017.

2018-2019
The Cooperation with ''Iron Shield Records'' turned out to be a stroke of luck. The music reached those longing for young and dynamic Thrash Metal and the band gained many new fans all over Germany and abroad.

This newly gained motivation enforced by the adrenalin of many gigs during the years 2017 and 2018 was the breeding ground for Ravager's second full-length album called ''Thrashletics'' which was recorded during the summer of 2018 at ''Soundlodge Studio'' in Rhauderfehn, Germany, and eventually published on February 15th, 2019.

The CD version of the record was published once again via ''Iron Shield Records'', the LP was published via ''Thrashletic Records'' - a record label founded by André Sawade himself.

With a great initial reception of ''Thrashletics'' it is now for the band to prove the record's qualities live.
