More than two decades ago, Rage‘s 2001-released song “Straight To Hell” gained attention far beyond the metal scene as part of the cult film Manitou’s Shoe.

Today, the track returns with a bold, modern sound as Rage are releasing “Straight To Hell ’25” — a re-imagined metal classic for the cinema premiere of Manitou’s Canoe, the sequel to Michael “Bully” Herbig‘s legendary hit Manitou’s Shoe.

Essentially, it’s a powerful new version of the original.

With “Straight To Hell ’25,” Rage bridge the gap between past and present — delivering the perfect metal soundtrack for a cinema event destined for cult status. The song is also included on the upcoming studio album A New World Rising.

A limited 7″ single version of the song “Straight To Hell ’25” is available from today onwards only at the Steamhammer shop here.

A New World Rising will be released on September 26 through SPV/Steamhammer worldwide except Japan in the following formats:

  • CD DigiPak
  • LP Gatefold, 140 g, black vinyl, colored insert
  • Download / Streaming pre-order here.
