REVOCATION TRAVEL “ACROSS FORESTS AND FJORDS” LIVE IN NYC

On August 20th, just two days after the release of their new record Chaos of Forms, Revocation came, they saw and they conquered NYC as part of a quick 3-show run of dates to celebrate the album’s release. Metal Injection was there at The Webster Hall Studio to film four songs from the band’s raging headline set, and the results, as usual, completely capture the moment.

Instead of posting “Dismantle the Dictator,” a great song to be sure but one you’ve heard a million times by now, how about “Across Forests and Fjords,” a galloping, romping deep cut from Existence is Futile that also happens to be instrumental. Not that I’ve got a problem with Dave Davidson’s vocals — I think he’s a great frontman (in addition to being a great guitarist, of course) — but sometimes it’s refreshing when a vocalist lays back and lets the instruments do ALL the talking. “Across Forests and Fjords” would be a great song with or without vocals regardless; check it out, and check out the other three live clips here.
