ABOUT

SOLDIERS OF RAGE was formed in 2014 by Diogo Jones with the ambition of creating something out of nothing. Originating in Portugal and later moving to the UK, the band draws influences from Lamb Of God, Sylosis, Gojira, Machine Head, and many others. 
The first song in the set was "FISTS OF VIOLENCE", which was originally written for a previous band D. Jones was in, with "WE ARE" following as the first official song D. Jones composed for SOLDIERS OF RAGE.
This laid the foundations for what their sound would become: an auditory onslaught of technical thrash metal, full of groove with some progressive elements. 
 
In the decade since it's conception, musicians from Portugal to the UK have contributed to the band's development, all creating a crucial impact despite having to leave due to personal reasons. Yet, by uniting their strengths, passion, and skills to achieve a shared purpose, SOLDIERS OF RAGE has risen as a formidable entity.
After 10 long years (on and off) The band’s debut album ‘New Age Of Inhumanity’ was finally released in July 2024 and followed by a strong run of shows, both local and overseas, with a standout being a main stage show at Vortex Metal Festival, in Portugal.
The band also competed in the 2025 BloodStock M2TM competition in Kent, reaching the final.
2025 has been a strong year for the band, with plans already in motion for a huge 2026, full of shows, new music and some surprises on the way.
