REVOCATION TAKE A PAGE FROM THE MATT PIKE BOOK IN NEW VIDEO

Revocation have been on the road almost non-stop since the start of last January/February’s MetalSucks-sponsored Metal As Art tour with Hypno5e and The Binary Code; European Thrash & Burn, Japan, Job For A Cowboy in the U.S. followed by Europe again (I think), currently with Despised Icon, and another forthcoming U.S. tour to close out the year that we can’t tell you about yet. It’s only fitting then that their new video for the Existence is Futile track “ReaniManiac” consists mostly of footage of the band playing live.

I learned some things about the band when I spent 6 days on the road with them on the Metal As Art Tour: 1) they are razor fucking tight, every single night, 2) they take a page from the Matt Pike book by always playing shirtless, even in the dead of winter. 3) Singer/guitarist Dave Davidson got tired of announcing this track as a mix between the Ahhnold classic “Reanimator” and the cartoon Animaniacs, so after a while he took to introducing the song thusly:

<death metal voice> “Has anyone here seen the movie How Stella Got Her Groove Back? Who here remembers the show Animaniacs?” <pause> This one’s called ‘ReaniManiac’!” <start song>

Here it is, in all its shirtless glory.
