A bit of local flavour for a change of pace; I use that term somewhat loosely, given that, being Bostonian, Revocation are to be considered local from the vantage point of my home state of Rhode Island. Some fierce, lightning-fast, fine musicianship and intensely catchy riffs from the tech-death-thrash power trio on this piece, from their album Existence is Futile. (Star Trek-inspired metal? The nerd in me finds this more awesome even than Anchorhead!) And in spite of the only slightly off-putting metalcoreish vox, the lyrics are, shall we say, a bit pointed. And pointed in the right direction, at that:
A military nation
Upon the eve of war
Inflicts retaliation
On enemies in distant shores
Gripped by an iron hand
Military industrial
Exterminating the dissident voice
The fog of propaganda
Instilled across generations
Inhibits independent thought
Sapping vital motivations
This song is intensely catchy; I can all but guarantee that ‘Overlord! Overthrown!’ will be in your head for hours after you hear this song. These guys may have a modern-bending sound, but at least their attitude is pure, classic thrash. Enjoy!
