Friday Morning Metal – Revocation – Cronenberged

HAVE SOME WICKED BRUTAL METAL! Straight from Boston, it’s Revocation, and their new song Cronenberged. I’m not sure if they went to college near Boston, no, not tufts, but they do shred pretty hard.

I’ve probably heard Revocation before, but they’re pretty shreddy. Jonny Davy from Job For A Cowboy does guest vocals on it, so perhaps they don’t always sound like this? I’ll have to listen to more of the songs. It’s got a good groove to start, plus slappy bass. Much like the video, it could be great over a montage of an evil scientist doing some evil science. The frenetic guitar solo is pretty fantastic. Overall it kind of reminds me of Dethklok, just with different vocals.

The video is very Cronenbergie. Cronenbergerian? Cronen the Barbarian? Regardless, the lead singer wakes up in a lab that really looks like a place for someone to get tortured and/or killed, but instead some creep in a jumpsuit injects him with stuff and he starts growing eyeball and teeth all over. I think the lyrics even say “eyeballs where they should not be.” And a weird tentacle arm. They really lean into the gross body horror, so if you’re not a fan of that definitely switch to a different tab after you start.

If you want to avoid the visuals, you can choose to Spotify, here’s the Spotify link.

Friday Morning Metal – Revocation – The Grip Tightens

Happy goofy metal video day, this time by way of Revocation out of Boston. According to the internet, these guys are a technical death metal band, but this sounds like solid thrash for nearly five minutes!

The song is frenetic and badass, with some super driving drums. Definitely one of those songs that could lead to you driving a little too fast on the highway, or biking 30 mph for no dang reason. TWO SOLOS! We’re blessed with super shreddy noodlefests in this one. All together the song is crazy fast and super fun.

This is a fun video premise. They’re dressed up like wicked old dudes and are shredding at a senior center. The guitarist looks like he’s about to pass out when an orderly turns his oxygen up, just in time for a shred fest of a solo. The folks in the crowd really get into it too, it’s a hoot. It is a little funny that they’re done up to look like old folks when there are legit old folks touring in huge bands and doing the same while not looking like decrepit monkey skeletons.
