Outrage is a Japanese thrash metal band, formed in Nagoya in 1982. The band was named after Motörhead's song "Sex & Outrage" from Iron Fist.

History

They were influenced by NWOBHM bands in their early years. Outrage released their debut album in 1988. In 1999 singer Naoki left the band,[2] They continued as a three piece with Yosuke and Yoshihiro sharing vocals. During this period their music changed to a more hard rock sound, but still had a metal edge to it.

To celebrate the band's 20th anniversary in 2007, Naoki returned for what was supposed to be a few performances, including one at Loud Park '07.[2] But the following year it was announced he would fully rejoin Outrage and they released the limited edition double live album Awakening 2008, which contains performances of their albums The Final Day and Life Until Deaf in their entirety.[3] They also contributed a cover of "Fight Fire with Fire" to the Metallica tribute album Metal-Ikka.[4] In 2009 they released a new self-titled album, which was recorded in Sweden with Fredrik Nordström and marked a return to their thrash sound.[2][5] On March 23, 2010, the band was given the "Aichi Prefecture Cultural Art Prize" for their continued musical activities in their hometown of Nagoya.[6]

The band released the album Outraged on June 5, 2013, once again working with Nordström.[7] Outrage performed at the Yoko Fest The Final concert on September 12, 2014 in tribute to the recently deceased bassist of fellow thrash metal band United.[8] They released the album Genesis I on October 7, 2015. It is split into two sides; the Genesis Side composed of covers of songs by bands such as Happy End, The Mops, Blues Creation and Gedō, and the Exploring Side containing original material.[9]
