/ Biography

In a nutshell:
There was a burning desire to play heavy music that our role models
had already played in the 1970s and 1980s. The intention was not to
reinvent the wheel but to bring our own vision to the genre.

Although melodic heavy metal is the core of the band, the band is not
limited to one genre, but includes a lot of hard rock influences and
also some prog metal elements. This creative freedom is precisely
why the band exists.

The current lineup has been together since 2023, and the fourth full-
length album "The Beginning" is a powerful representation of what
the band is today, having experienced a new beginning for the band.

Perpetual Rage is a versatile heavy metal band from Kuopio, Finland. We play
music with energy and attitude because music is a lifestyle for us. Our songs are
tales from scifi, fantacy, horror and also a real life melancholy.
We combine hard rock, heavy metal, progressive metal etc. styles in our music.

The band was founded in Kuopio, Finland at summer 2009.
The band made a few demos in 2009-2012 .
The first album "The New Kingdom" was released in 2015.
The second album "Empress of the Cold Stars" was released in 2017.
and the third album "Flames From Below" was released in 2020.

The years 2021-2022 were a quieter time, there were changes in the crew etc,
but in 2023 Ilkka W. Tarvainen came on drums and Juha Pulkkinen came on
vocals. It brought a whole new energy to the band and the band was ready for
the gigs and the studio again. The band born again.

In the summer of 2025, the band's fourth album "The Beginning" has been
recorded, mixed and mastered, and is ready for release.

We like to listen and play every kind of music but heavy metal is that thing why
we do this metal madness and friedship too. If it depends on us, we will do
heavy music in the future too, and also play gigs and tours as much as we can.
