Biography

Rage Of Light is a Swiss trance metal band created in 2015 by Jonathan Pellet. ROL has established itself as one of the most innovative bands in the electro-metal genre, with versatile vocals and ambitious DYI music videos. In 2016, the band released their debut EP, “Chasing a Reflection”, with vocalist Melissa Bonny and guitarist Noé Schüpbach. It was very well received, and ROL quickly built a substantial following on social media. 2017 and 2018 saw the band releasing several videos, such as “Mechanicals” and “Twilight Of The Thunder God” (Amon Amarth cover), both of which amassed over 2 million views on YouTube. ROL also signed a worldwide deal with Napalm Records and released a full-length album, “Imploder,” in 2019. In 2021, Melissa parted ways to focus on Ad Infinitum. Later that year, the band recruited Polish singer Martyna Halas and released their second full-length album, “Redemption,” which came with 5 music videos. The album was well-received by fans and critics, who praised its maturity and freshness. In 2022, Noé left to pursue other projects, and the band recruited Swiss guitarist Simon Burri. Together, they released a new cover, "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush, which was mixed and mastered by Thomas ‘Drop’ Betrisey (Sybreed, Samael). 2023 sees ROL continue their collaboration with Drop, going even deeper into their metal and electronic influences. The first single, “Upriser”, came out on 13 April, followed by “The Scent Of Dead Leaves” (out on 23 May.)
