PRESS RELEASE:
Emerald Rage is a four-piece power/speed metal band from Akron, Ohio, USA, formed in 2017 by lead vocalist Jacob Wherley, guitarist Patrick Kern, and drummer Tyson McCauley.
Inspired by bands such as Blind Guardian, Running Wild, and Metallica, Emerald Rage delivers a melodic, crushing, metal sound with a melodic and folkier approach, capturing the bard-like storytelling style of the band’s lyrics.
Joining forces with current bassist/vocalist Erik Curry in 2019, the band established itself in the Midwestern US metal scene as a force to be reckon with, debuting its first album “High King” in 2021 on Stormspell records and earning itself a place on “Legions of Metal Fest” in Chicago alongside NWOTHM legends Raven.
Sophomore effort “Valkyrie” followed in 2023, bringing the band to its highly anticipated third album “The Eyes of the Dragon” available May 29th 2026, shortly before the group makes its European debut in July at “Headbangers Open Air” in Germany.
