REVOLVER / THE UNHOLY MOTHER OF FUCK

This German four piece band are a new signing for Music For Nations and remind me a bit of Amen, mixed with Motorhead with a glazing of Entombed thrown in for good measure and that is no bad thing. They don’t copy them but just remind you of them with their energy, aggression and no compromise attitude, subtle they are not but boy can they Rock.

You only have to listen to the opening track "Broken Glass" to realise what I mean, with their raw, almost Hardcore feel to it but still very much in the Metal vein. "What’s My Name" and "J-Day" are as good an example of the Rock genre as you could wish for and when the opening chords of "Instant Idiots" starts you half expect Lemmy to start singing. All the tracks are about 3 minutes and will get you moshing no problem; the only exception is an 8 minute instrumental but what the heck, why not it still ROCKS.

This is a great debut and one to be proud of the only thing I will warn you about is the rather dodgy sleeve with the silhouette of a female taking her knickers off and the fact that it’s only 38 minutes long.

DOWNLOAD : Demo versions of "What’s My Name", "Broken Glass" and a non album track, all good quality from the bands own website.

TOTAL PLAYING TIME = 38 Mins - 12 Tracks
