CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description REVOCATION draws from the best aspects of the metal world on their Relapse debut Existence Is Futile. The trio blends world class musicianship with a pronounced technical flair; songs twist, turn, and stop on dime as dizzying solos dance with thrash metals razor-sharp precision to create an album greater than the sum of its parts. Existence is Futile transcends all of modern metal s sub-genres and labels and firmly establishes REVOCATION as one of the finest new metal bands of the 21st century. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBest death/thrash I've heard in a long time! Mark D. White | New Jersey, USA | 10/02/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "This one took me by surprise - I read the pre-release publicity from Relapse, I listened to sound samples online, and I just wasn't impressed. But I took a chance and ordered the CD, and am I glad I did - this is one of the best metal albums I've heard in a long time, and it gets better every time I listen to it. The style seems more thrash than death to me - the vocals are more along the lines of early Chuck Schuldiner than the gutteral vocals of most death vocalists today. The drum patterns are varied throughout the album, from death blastbeats to traditional thrash rhythms to some more jazz-oriented patterns rarely heard in metal. But it fits perfectly into Revocation's songwriting, which combines traditional thrash riffs with Voivod-inspired dissonant chords and even harmonic patterns which reminded me of some of Megadeth's best songs (like "Hangar 18"). No two songs sound the same - a rarity these days, even among veteran metal bands. What stands out perhaps the most is the unbelievably original lead guitar work of David Davidson - you almost never hear melodic, tasteful playing like this in metal anymore. I hear bits of Michael Schenker, George Lynch, even Jeff Beck in Davidson's work, and I hear more nuance every time I listen. Simply astounding!" One of the best albums recently released. A. Gift For You | Hartford, Alabama USA | 01/13/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I must say, before I heard this band's CD I was a little skeptical because alot of the newer bands who have came out just dont satisfy me. But I can honestly say, this one will NOT let you down. They write riff's like a young Slayer, the drummer is amazing, as he adds fills whenever needed and isn't too overloaded. And the vocals go in between death metal to your not so typical screams. And the solo's... wow... if you love a band with great solo's, definatly check this band out. They've got some great harmonized finger tapping on this album. I would say this is an awesome album, but that would be an understate-ment. If your unsure about this even after my review, check out the songs on youtube or blip.fm. If you like technical-death metal, and you've not heard these guys, your missing out. Thank you Relapse for yet another solid album!"
