3.0 good | ReAnimator | August 12th 16 | Just as with the rest of Revocation's discography, I can recognize that these guys have serious chops and great writing on a song-to-song basis, but a full album is still a chore to listen to. While there are some stand-out grooves and solo work to appreciate, it's generally a blur I struggle to finish. I can say I like this one more than "Deathless," but it's a marginal difference.

4.5 superb | Chris Maitland | July 18th 16 | The consistency Revocation has demonstrated throughout their career is remarkable. Doesn't quite have the level of variation or volume of "holy shit moments" that "Deathless" had, but it's still a behemoth of an album.

3.0 good | cjbizzlebizzle | November 27th 16 | If anything, Revocation have found a great way to do things and stuck to that formula releasing 6 albums over the past 8 years. Their signature sound provides for some of the heaviest hitting, consistently good riffs that blend thrash and death in a way that you could tell what band was playing the instant one of their songs came on. Beyond the riffs, things are just not as consistently great. Even with the addition of plentiful clean sections the vocals and lyrics themselves just don't standout; the vocalist is rarely the highlight at any point of the album. Despite that being the case on many metal albums, it hurts more here because of Revocation's pure dedication to their style. Each song sounds more and more like the last and an album at 48 minutes long becomes a drag. The production also plays into this with a very heavy guitar and vocal-centric mix; the rest of the band becomes lost. This all makes the replay value rather low here even though it features some of the best metal riffs of recent memory. A bit more diversity in sound and production would go extremely far for this group.Copernican Heresy and Arbiters of the Apocalypse might be a good place to start out.

4.5 superb | VanFullOfSpooks | July 25th 16 | Another AMAZING release from Revocation that continues to expand on their already very recognizable sound, while building off of it to move forward. Simply a fantastic album that is so goddamn fun!

5.0 classic | BRAman22 | July 25th 16 | Dave Davidson is a bona-fide metal God and his band
can do no wrong. Closing on a Slayer cover shows
that they would have felt right at home during the
80's thrash movement too.
