its not like im following them on tour. id rather hear hell awaits, raining blood, south of heaven, and angel of death over anything new. 90 percent of the bands i like and see have many albums. they have been around 20+ years. it doesnt matter to me about new material. except a new album means a tour. thats the only reason i await new albums. in rages case, they dont have as much material as the bands i listen to. so it would probably make sense for rage to release new albums. but, my original point was, new material doesnt matter. the band is back together and playing. to me, thats ALL that matters. whether its rage or slayer.
