THERE WILL BE “NO FUNERAL” FOR REVOCATION

I finally got to hear Revocation’s Chaos of Forms in full earlier this week, and, ladies and gents, I am pleased to let you know that, hol-ee shee-ttt, it does not disappoint. Not only does it bring the metal as fuckness in full force, but there’s some really nutty, unexpected twists n’ turns on the album, too… which I won’t spoil just yet. (Okay, I’ll spoil it a little bit: BEST USE OF KEYBOARDS EVER.) But I will say that if you don’t enjoy Chaos, we should probably have you declared legally dead, for, surely, being deceased is the only logical explanation for such sour pussness.

So. “No Funeral,” the new song the band has just unleashed over at Guitar World, is your latest taste of the album, and it’s a potent reminder of why we just named Revocation’s David Davidson The #1 Top Modern Metal Guitarist. The songwriting is top notch, as is the musicianship. There is just nothing bad about it.

Headbang here, then come back and exchange hugs n’ high-fives in the comments section. Relapse will release Chaos of Forms on August 16; in the meantime, Revocation are currently part of the MetalSucks-sponsored Forbidden headlining tour, along with the also-killer Havok and White Wizzard. You can dates for that trek here, and read Davidson’s recent “Rigged,” in which he told us about his live set-up, here.
