IT’S OFFICIAL: REVOCATION WILL OPEN THE DARKEST HOUR / VEIL OF MAYA / PERIPHERY “LEGACY TOUR” THIS FALL

We can now officially announce what the entirety of Webernets has known for months; our favorite young thrash/death stallions in Revocation — whose 2009 album Existence is Futile placed near the top of multiple MS writers’ year-end lists — are the “special guest opener” for this fall’s MetalSucks-sponsored Legacy Tour. As if Darkest Hour, Veil of Maya and Periphery weren’t enough, now you get Revocation as well for what will surely be a raucous night of headbanging.

I think I’ve seen Revocation eight times so far this year (seriously) and I’m still not tired of them; their live performance is just so much fun and their music never loses its luster for me. Stoked. Also, our livers are going to be in serious pain the day after this show; we’ve yet to party with Veil of Maya (‘cept a quick backstage smoke sesh at Summer Slaughter) or Periphery, but every time we get together with Darkest Hour or Revocation bad, bad things happen.

And now, an exclusive welcome message from Revocation guitarist Dave Davidson:
