Genre: tech death-thrash

Returning with a follow-up to 2013's eponymous full-length, America's premier tech death-thrashers Revocation are back with "Deathless" which was released in November via Relapse Records.

The band have obviously found a golden formula from which they do not deviate, as no major changes have been made between the preceding couple of albums and this one (except maybe there is a tad more melody on "Deathless". And why should they make any changes, when their style works brilliantly? As on the previous albums, the listener is treated to well-crafted and challenging death-thrash tunes characterized by eclecticism (just check out the title track) and top notch musicianship. Despite the level of technicality, there is still a lot of soul and aggressive emotionality to the tracks.

With this sort of music, a crisp and well-defined production is required, and that is just what the listener gets here.

Fans of tech thrash, death, and death-thrash metal should definitely check this one out.
