Rage - Welcome To The Other Side (2001)

Rage's second album of Peavy Wagner's "new" line-up, this focuses on the beliefs of the afterlife within Greek mythology, so we have natural bits about death and all that.  There's much to like here, and guitarist/keyboardist Victor Smolski shows impressive skills throughout, including adding touches of sitar, which I think is a new sound for the band. Not for the first time in Rage's catalogue, I think the record, at over an hour, is a bit too long, but they usually manage to give me something to enjoy, and Welcome To The Other Side is no exception.
