    LYRICS:
    Pestilence herald of sickness
    Exordium of our doom
    Consuming both the old and the young
    Precious innocents stillborn in the womb
    The first of the plagues befallen man
    This woeful curse brought forth by our own hands
    Broken are the seals, commence the end times
    Open the gates of destruction
    Battles abound on marches war
    Hear the galloping hooves of the horsemen
    Carnage divine, the four shall align
    Apocalyptic judgment
    A black shadow cast across the land
    Feast your eyes on the scales of starvation
    Famine devours all
    Fulfilling this prophecy of deprivation
    The arbiters of the apocalypse come to claim what they are owed
    Now death reigns triumphant, no god will have mercy on our souls

      I definitely agree, but I didn't mind his vocals on prior albums either. Empire of the Obscene has Dave's vocals at their most primitive, but that's still my favorite album of theirs.

      Agreed, man. The last time I listened to this song in particular I was seriously considering it to be his finest performance vocally. That being said, I think this is one of their best-written songs to date. It’s tough to beat Witch Trials, though.

    I've enjoyed every single revocation album since day one. Can hum every riff, tap every beat and repeat most lyrics. Favorite album has to be EIF and EOTO. Teratogenesis has some damn good bangers on there too. Since Phil left, you can tell the chemistry changed. Still sounds like revocation but nobody could hit those drum pockets like Phil. New drummer has some big shoes to fill but I am so far impressed.

    • @DrummerJake_57
      @DrummerJake_57 4 роки тому +2

      Phil kills the drums. Ash has a more straight forward approach that I almost appreciate more. I like the single stroke double bass ash does rather than the double strokes phil was doing; even though it is flawless. I saw phil live and his kicks were misfiring and sounded like shit. Ash live twice and he was flawless. Both great.

    • @metalbladerecords
      @metalbladerecords  8 років тому +57

      60 is all fine and good for video games, but it's a completely different look for film. The Hobbit was shot in 48, and is so hyper real that it creates multiple issues - one is it doesn't look cinematic in that motion blur is missing (this argument works for film, where it doesn't for games), and 2, it's twice as many (if not more) frames that have to be dealt with in post. That's twice as much work for video effects folks. 24fps will probably remain the standard for some time, if for no other reason than "it's what we're used to."

    • @metalbladerecords
      @metalbladerecords  8 років тому +43

      tl;dr shooting 60fps for video is a stylistic choice and creates a totally different look.

    Fuck, when great is our sin came out I didn't think it was that good... But now it's my favourite Revo album, this band has no filler material.

    Quite often i read in the comments section that this band is underrated... Well, i'm pretty sure that the majority of people who really like metal that comes straight from the heart and without tags have already discovered them. Frankly, i don't think that Revocation gives a shit about the rest...
