ACCEPT’s „Rise Of Chaos“-festivals announced, with ACCEPT, ORDEN OGAN, REFUGE and MONUMENT
The flagship of German Heavy Metal will stop with the „Rise Of Chaos“-festivals in Germany for the first time! After the big success of their latest album “Rise Of Chaos”, ACCEPT will be playing three Festivals under the same name. As platform for interesting, young and dynamic bands these festivals will be continued and presented by Continental Concerts in the next years to offer a live-spectacle to all fans of Heavy Metal.
The Heavy-Metal-Legends therefore invited ORDEN OGAN, REFUGE and MONUMENT for the festival shows 2018! While Orden Ogan are one of the most established bands in the German Power Metal scene, Refuge (with the original Rage Line-Up from 1988-1993) are known for their slightly Ruhr-Area-Thrash-Metal. Fans of this Rage-Era should be aware! Supporters of Maiden and Priest will be pleased with the young and dynamic guys of Monument. They do not make a secret about quoting their heroes in their own songs and are loudly spreading the flair of the 80s! And yes: there still is the headliner called Accept! Accept is strongly marching forward and will not only perform the highlights from their latest record, but also play hits like „Balls To The Wall“, „Fast As A Shark“ and „Metal Heart“! So be there and “You’ll get your balls to the wall, man”! Be there when, for the first time, the “Rise Of Chaos” Festivals will celebrate their debut and shake the ground of Germany‘s event halls!

Refuge sign record deal with Frontiers Records
The German Powermetal band REFUGE around Metal icon Peter “Peavy” Wagner has recently signed a record deal with the Italian label Frontiers Records.
The Herne-based REFUGE, which consists of Manni Schmidt (guitars), Christos Efthimiadis (drums) and frontman/bassplayer Peavy Wagner, is the 1987 – 1994 line up of the German Metal institution RAGE. The former RAGE-members have teamed up again at the end of 2014 under the name REFUGE to play the old RAGE songs from their common time. What started out as a fun project, has since evolved into a very special band.
REFUGE-guitarist Manni Schmidt says: “When we played at a number of festivals last summer, we instantly realized that the chemistry was back. The shows worked out great and very naturally, there were ideas for new songs that we wanted to hold, because we liked them so much. Somehow the guys from Frontiers have heard about this and they offered us a deal. Peavy, Efthi and I are very thrilled to say that there will be a record released full of brand new songs by our band REFUGE!”
Frontman Peavy Wagner also points out that releasing a new album with REFUGE won’t clash with his other band RAGE: “REFUGE and RAGE are two different bands now. With REFUGE, we are able to play songs of the old era that have never found their way to a setlist of a RAGE-show. REFUGE also consists of different musicians – except me – who have different ideas and a different vibe. REFUGE is more like old school …. The fans will find out latest when they will hold the new REFUGE album in their hands.” About the signing with Frontiers Music Peavy says: “The members of REFUGE are looking very much forward to working with such a reknowned label as Frontiers Music. The company’s roster is impressive and for all I know, Mario, Serafino and their crew are behind the band to a 100%. I can’t wait to start working with them.”
Mario de Riso, Marketing Director of Frontiers Music ads: “We are very happy to welcome REFUGE on our label. Since we are all fans of the “old” RAGE, we are particularly glad about the fact, that the band with the line – up from back then is a part of the Frontiers family now and we look forward to our future cooperation.”
