Something a little creatively fearless now. Edinburgh alt-metal act Revelation 23 deliver a gothic rock explosion of poetic reflections, with the heavy fuzz and lighter haunting melodies of Sacrifice.
Ideally released around the time of Halloween, this compelling theatrical performance and arrangement pairs a distorted rock and grunge-like backdrop with vocals that ebb and flow between the likes of Evanescence and The Dresden Dolls.
Meanwhile the lyrics present a vampire-esque storyline as dark and disconcerting as the music, and the voice meanders through a long-form melody that’s just as fearlessly expressive as the soundscape itself.
Revelation 23 let their own passionate connection to the process guide things, and the results allow their music to resound amidst an artistic rock level that’s purely their own right. A fascinating take, and a strong introduction to a band with a uniquely intense but beautiful style.
