Hailing from Croatia, the rising stars SAGE have just signed a worldwide record deal with ROCKSHOTS RECORDS for the release of their debut album 'Anno Domini 1573'!
The album is about the Peasants’ Revolt, a metaphor of the battle between good and evil, honesty and greed. SAGE delivers a mix of heavy, power and progressive metal, even though is hard to define it specifically due to the band’s unique style.
'The band name SAGE means both the plant and flower sage and 'a wise old man'', comments Enio Vučeta, guitarist and backup singer of the band, a living legend of the Croatian rock/metal scene, 'We wanted to connect this to ourselves in a way because we are composed of several generations of Croatian musicians and we have great ambitions for our music to make a breakthrough in the whole world.'
The first single and video of 'Treason' is already available on YouTube below:
The debut album 'Anno Domini 1573' is already available for pre-order at the record label official store, in Digipak Deluxe edition CD+DVD:

BIOGRAPHY
The band started a successful collaboration 5 years ago with Casey Grillo - the drummer and producer from the band Kamelot, who was producing Sage's first album "Anno Domini 1573".
The theme of the album is the Peasants’ Revolt, which metaphorically represents the fight between good and evil, honesty and greed.
The album was mixed and mastered in Morrisound recording studios by Jim Morris, where great performers such as Iced Earth, Savatage, Sepultura, Death, Transiberian Orchestra and numerous other renowned metal bands have also recorded.
The type of the music played is a mix of heavy, power and progressive metal, although it is hard to specifically define it due to the band’s intent on remaining fresh and unique.
The band decided to sing in English so as to make the message come through to a wider audience, and give more people around the world the opportunity to meet colorful Croatian history through their music.
