RESISTANCE TO REVOCATION’S EXISTENCE IS FUTILE
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 at 10:30am by Vince NeilsteinYou know how your parents always used to tell you to do things against your will “because I said so!”? And how you refused, but you realized years later that they were right? Listen to Revocation, NOW. Because I said so.
We likee Boston young guns Revocation ’round these parts. So much so that I actually just pre-ordered their new album Existence is Futile (out Sept 29) with a sweet t-shirt. Guys, I can’t even remember the last time I bought a CD. I think it was the time I went to buy Chinese Democracy on release day just to satisfy the itch for the nostalgiac ritual of doing so. That purchase didn’t pan out quite as I’d hoped, but I have no doubt that this one will because I’ve already heard the album, and the t-shirt is just the icing on the cake.
Revocation have a 3rd new track called “Anthem of the Betrayed” posted on their MySpace page; of the tracks posted so far, it’s by far the most representative of what Existence is Futile as a whole is all about, and it’s also the best yet. Listen to that track, watch the new studio webisode posted below (I always find vocal tracking fascinating), then pre-order the record. Because I said so.
Be on the lookout for a sweet MetalSucks-sponsored Revocation tour this fall.

Are you saying that you illegally download your music ??? Shame on you Mr Neilstein !!!! Oh, and by the way, Revocation is awesome !!
No, I was just saying that I haven’t bought CDs recently. Generally we receive most releases for free via the record labels or publicists. When I do buy, I buy digitally.
I was just kidding, but I still hate you for getting CD’s for free…
I bought a CD this week, too – I preordered the new Baroness album, because they have a deluxe 2CD version that comes with a bonus live disc from the Roadburn Festival.
Will be pre-ordering myself, too!
Shouldn’t the title be: “Resistance to Revocation’s Existence Is Futile Is Futile”?
I’ve been rocking their last full length non stop lately. The solo in Fields of Perdition is one of my all time favorites ever.
Cool
Great Band can’t wait their new album.
I give their 2008 release, Empire of the Obscene, a spin every now and then, and just can’t tell how awesome they are. I don’t remember the last time when a new band was so great in combining all of the old stuff with some new trends, and blending it into a solid sound. They have balls, and their balls are quite hard and hairy – the music is so manly and fun at some points, that I can’t hold myself from smiling with a big grin. And it’s quite refreshing to see a new band going the other way, compared to all Meshugg-ish newbies that have sprung out recently. Not that I don’t love Meshuggah (I adore them) but there are just too many bands trying to sound like or incorporating Meshuggah elements into their blends…
Fucking awesome band. Saw them at New England Metalfest a few years back and already have my pre-order placed.
