"This is the new effort of the heavy/power metal quintet from Athens, The Silent Rage. Two years after the self titled EP, it is about time to release the second EP entitled ”Harvester Of Souls”, which finds them a step higher compared to their past....The renewed TSR shows ready for the next big step which is going to be the recording of their first full length. Praises to the guys for the great production they did (done by the two guitar players) and for presenting a work that is very carefully structured (cover, production, compositions). It is certain that they are one of the bands of Greece that will hold the flag of heavy music very high in the future. Right playing, without sounding old, despite being influenced by classic groups. All is set right, let’s hope for no more line – up changes and they can claim they will do something really special. The road is open and the dogs are loose."

— Aggelos "Redneck" Katsouras, Metalpaths

"...Harvester Of Souls, the band's newest and second EP, is the calm before the storm. It is believed there is a full-length album on the way, but beyond being the taste of the band, Harvester Of Souls is the debut presentation of the band's new members on almost every corner, aside from the founding member Nikos Siglidis. Therefore, for anyone who already knows this band, this is a good chance to experience a different variation of an on-going group....In the end, this EP is a great opportunity to introduce this group into your catalog while awaiting their eventual up-coming full-length release!"

— Lior "Steinmetal" Stein, Metal Express Radio

"...So, The Silent Rage are not reinventing anything, but manages to produce a modern metal, powerful and not overproduced, which is an honest approach. Discover them and they can be seen on a French stage, on an occasional tour."

— Aske, Metal Chroniques

"...Ultimately, The Silent Rage have packed more than enough work, which can outline a good and promising future for the band, but for now this epic is only recommended for "spin doctors" of heavy metal."

— Francescojo, Stereo Invaders

"...Nevertheless, "Harvester of Souls" for the demo "Perished In Flames" is a skillful exclamation from Southern Europe. Great songs played with passion and conviction, as can the future look like for these men just rosy. I hope that at least to them."

— Matthias Salomon, Blood Chamber

"Powerful modern riffs kickstart the action and it’s a promising start to “Perished In Flames”. But the vocals, which soon join the action, feel a little empty and detached from the music. It’s a little hard to isolate what is wrong. They appear at odds with the song in terms of both lyrical content and overall arrangement but are also in a very different part of the mix, and this is a theme for the full five tracks of this EP. The guitars are allowed to ply their own trade but are a bit naïve at times, but generally quite solid although the rhythm section is as non-existent as the vocals are odd. But none of that means there isn’t something to like. The raw energy of this Greek five piece stands out and their songs are reasonably well written, if clumsily executed. There isn’t much to keep aside from their promise but I’ve heard worse, especially in this style. "

— Justin Hulford , Powerplay Magazine (UK) Issue #134

"...Give definitely your attention to this release, since it is one of the finest examples of a Greek group composing songs of this sound, although the band unfortunately doesn’t have a recording contract yet. The band definitely has to work on the production so the songs will highlight even more, but what has been presented so far is more than worthwhile. Those who saw them last April to play as a support to Grave Digger will probably have the same view with me…. "

— Thodoris Miniatis, Rocking

"...The Silent Rage have cranked out five solid tracks of power metal with a strong classic metal sound at the core of their sound. Can't wait to hear what they can do on a full length effort."

— Mark, Heavy Metal Time Machine

"...HARVESTER OF SOULS is a great introduction to The Silent Rage and an enjoyable listen in its own right. According to their bio, the band is working on their first full-length album, so I’ll definitely keep my ears peeled for that. In the meantime, I’ll keep spinning this EP. "

— Waspman, Metal Rules

".... THE SILENT RAGE do it again this time to deliver very good work and inspire the power metal fan. Five songs that hit the bull's-eye. One can only hope that you also get a full hour of material times. So now you have enough songs for a best-of - one idea would be full of worship, without an album to publish such a work. "

— Frank-Christian Mehlmann , Metal News

“'''...In summary, if you like Power/Heavy Melodic Metal and you don’t know these guys yet, THE SILENT RAGE are done to the measurement that your ears want!!!!"”

— Sergio Fernández, Queens Of Steel

"Greek Melodic Power Metal quintet The Silent Rage unleash their second EP 'Harvester Of Souls' with a Sonata Arctica tone to it, with highly pitched vocals and a percussive beat, The Silent Rage take their Greek atmosphere and channel it into something greater than the acropolis and Ancient Greece, with a rally of riffs to savour any untamed hearing and a beat to keep those heads banging, The Silent Rage are truly in another level of Greek Metal, whilst the lyrical content or topic is unclear, they certainly know how to bring a fantasy-like presence to their music, merely scraping the barrel of darkness to encourage a feasible level of composition, essentially a force waiting to escape the boundaries of Southern Europe."

— Rhys Stevenson, Global Metal Apocalypse

"Greek band The Silent Rage play power metal, thankfully eschewing the more lightweight, widdle-tastic approach that seems to have become popular in recent years for something more meaty on this new E.P. Particularly noteworthy is a strong guitar sound which gives the songs some weight; the playing is good too, with some tasty solo's..."

— Tom De Val, Sea Of Tranquility

"...The five tracks of “Harvester of souls” present a power metal done in the U.S style far from the European “mushy” sometimes power metal. The great combination of melodic vocals with the “harsh” growling provides a sharp attitude and gives a much heavier and darker atmosphere to the whole musical style. A typical example of the sharpness and speed is the intro track “Perished in flames”, whose dynamics in synthesis and performance grubs you by the balls and force you to concentrate more to the following tracks. The arrangements are well balanced although the album and the guitar sections are the hidden card of the specific release. The production is very nice considering the fact that this is a self-financed release...."

— Georgia Bootsali, Heavy Metal Cosmos

"...There's talent in this band, both in the performing and in the composing area. The songs are good, with enough energy although they don't avoid certain style cliche, which don't spoil the fun though. The vocals are well worked, with an inevitable Greek accent, but the addition of the harsh back vocals somehow fixes the whole feeling. A very talented band, which I am sure has more to offer...."

— Victor Tzougrakis, Metal Guide

"...More can not be said after a few minutes of this pleasure but for a possible debut album I am really looking forward to! THE SILENT RAGE despite sucked out clichés but bring a clear bright spot in the power metal sector!"

— Mathias Klammer , Stormbringer

"...So , the new EP release , features three older releases , “Perished In Flames” already the band’s trademark track, as well as , “Leading The Legions” and “Wings Of Tragedy” re – recorded with a brand new line up where D. Kontis’ vocals pushes the songs to another level, while the production helps a lot to the whole outcome. In this specific E.P. there is also featured two brand new tracks, entitled “Inner Scars” and “Harvester Of Souls” that fit the whole melodic power metal attitude of the band , with high pitched vocals and of course Nick’s (Guitars) harsh vocals in most of the tracks. I have to admit that I really enjoyed the whole EP, since The Silent Rage seems to have already found the great balance between up tempo parts, melody, aggression and technique!..."

— Lampros “Witchfynder” Tennes , Metalzone

"...I can't say if that's a step ahead for the band. It is definitely not a step behind, but an interesting work that re-introduces us The Silent Rage. They are a young band after all and they have achieved many things in their short career. I am sure that with this new line up they will achieve even more. "

— Giannis Tsakonas, Metal Perspective

"… “Harvester Of Souls” is an EP, which dominates the frequent changes between lead clean & harsh vocals, it has a very pleasant drum performance, clever riffs, melodic solos and many power metal vocals. The Silent Rage seems to be passionate with what they chosen to do and for sure, they did a great beginning with this EP”, in this specific metal genre. I would like also to congratulate them for the good quality of sound and for the production in this release.”

— Aggelos "Kilmister" Mantas, Metalhead

"..."Harvester of Souls shows how the band is ready to crank out a full length to consecrate them in European scene. Good luck guys!"

— Dea Ortolani, Alone Music

"...This is a Power Metal band and they know how to play the genre. The music is fast and ballsy and is very heavy. The vocalist is often accompanied by his band mates with plenty of backing vocals. This isn’t the type of Power Metal you would get from a band like RHAPSODY OF FIRE that has many keyboards and orchestral elements in the music. I like the straight up Thrash feel to the songs. They are up tempo and furious and sung with a lot of feeling...."

— Jonathan Maphet , Metal Kaoz

".. An extra hint of The Silent Rage on “Harvester Of Souls” seems to be the melodic/clean lead vocals plus the very good melodic leads on the guitars. Also, the harsh vocals seem to be a pleasant surprise, bringing Iced Earth in mind, as well as the steady rhythm section…. My opinion is that we can’t find so frequently so powerful bands in the heavy/power metal genre…."

— Vasilis Z., Public Stage Blogspot

"...This smasher only has 5 tracks. What the fuck??? What the hell do these Greeks have in their heads releasing so cool music only this little bit? There is long time I’ve been that amazed of a band. Straight ahead!...Finally I can say that this is a magnificent piece of steel forged in Hellenic lands...So, brothers and sisters: All of you finding this EP: Catch it!..."

— Pan "The Warlord", Metal District

"...Nevertheless, these guys have made overall a positive impression to me. I would say let the whole album come, preferably under the guidance of a professional record label, who wants to sign these guys and give them a chance..."

— Frank V, Lords Of Metal

"...The Silent Rage has an American touch to their power metal. Perhaps drawing most of the inspiration from the 80s power metal scene and then updating it to the 21st century. This is the kind of power metal I like."

— Anders Ekdahl , Battle Helm Sweden

"...The band plays melodic heavy/power metal and I think that their strong cards are their melodies, the good solos and lead guitars and the passionate singing of their vocalist. Their rhythm section also gives a stable and solid foundation upon which the lead guitars build their melodies and lead parts. The whole EP moves on very professional standards and it has the power and the creativity that will move any fan of good heavy/power metal. This is an effort of hard work and determination, two facts that help the talent of the band to shine on. .... So, support the band and buy this EP! Believe me you won’t regret it one bit…"

— Nick "Verkaim" Parastatidis, Behind The Veil

"Only one I have to say. The Harvester Of Souls is a great example of how great band THE SILENT RAGE is. But a request to the group. Extract guys an album. Give us this unique experience ... Even sitting;;;; Go to their page at REVERBNATION send them an email and grab the opportunity. Get the EP. Make this unique gift to your metal self."

— Dimitris Lazaris, Hard City

"...The songs flow, they keep your interest, there's nothing there to make you feel bored or wanting to skip to the next song. I totally enjoyed the guitar riffs and the obvious hard work and musicianship behind the compositions, while the overall production is more than decent, having in mind that this is a demo release...."Harvester Of Souls" prepares the way for the band's first full-length album called "Inner Scars" and it actually does a damn good job as it proves that the Greek Power Metal scene has some really strong and notable bands to present. THE SILENT RAGE is a band I'd definitely recommend to the fans of the genre."

— Elina Papadoyani, Metal-Temple.com

"For those quite keen on the mixture of more aggressive melodic Euro-power with the rougher edged USPM school at a moderate tempo, this is a tasty little nugget with only a slight amateurish edge. Even the hardcore melodic Euro-power fans like myself can find a good deal to appreciate here. Playing this energetic and harder edged style of power metal in Greece is a smart approach, and maybe Silent Rage will rock the guitars out of a few of the legion of poor to mediocre bands from the country. Check this one out, it shows real promise and a knack for balancing melody and sharpness."

— The Protagonist, Black Wind, Fire & Steel (US)

"I truly believe this ΕΡ can operate as a teaser for the debut full length album; all five songs should be included in there after all. Unless there is more than meets the eye and the band is holding some more cards up their sleeve. Peeps who haven’t yet listened to their previous EP’s should embrace this release, it’s the best intro in order to get “into it” and appreciate the boys’ music. Brilliant melodies, fantastic choruses, axes and blasts. Fans of fine Metal and Epic Power will love it."

— Costas Koulis, Rockpages.gr

"I believe that with this EP the band will gain the attention of the people, they need some time to show more things of their qualities. Harvester Of Souls is the beginning of a great career I can say and as we are used to saying in Greece «The beginning is just the half of everything»!"

— Dr. Feelgood, Metalfields.de

““A new line-up, much better than the older one, a fresh, well mixed EP with the title Harvester Of Souls and a great, competitive orchestration (that only a few bands have).””

— Vasilis Papoutsis, Rockap.gr

““It seems that this group has the intention to take us back to the period of 1986-1996, the decade that power metal was at its best. Influenced by bands such as Helloween (with Kiske) and Riot, this band shows the passion and the will that its members obviously have.””

— Stefanos Stefanopoulos, Rockway.gr

““With a new line-up and a completely European sound, the power metal of The Silent Rage is about to attract many fans. Hard, fast, powerful and melodic, almost German!””

— Andreas Koundouras, Metalholocaust.gr

““This EP contains five great songs… If we take these songs as a sample, this band is preparing for us powerful surprises. Until their first full-length album, go for this EP and give it a chance! It really deserves it!””

— Panos Bougalis, Rockoverdose.gr
