Edmonton, Alberta black death quartet Revelator have no trouble making with the grim and icy vibe, because for a good part of the year, their northern Canadian city is in fact just that. And to stay warm, maybe they do as their upcoming debut full-length indicates, Light the Devil’s Fire. We’re premiering the latest missive from said album, “Death Serenade,” a nearly four-minute tremolo-picking workout with thrashy punk underpinnings. The frozen foursome—The Incantor (lead guitar/vocals), The Heretic (drums/guitar/bass), The Iconoclastic (guitars/vocals), The Heathen (bass)—rampage through the track with a concise, well-honed viciousness that is completely free of any unnecessary excesses, just straight-up pummeling fury.
Light the Devil’s Fire was recorded by Rob Lawless at Lawless Recordings, mixed by Derek Orthner at Derek Orthner Audio and mastered by Drew Copland and Vector Sound. It’s set for release on CD and digitally on September 12 via Nameless Grave Records. Preorders can be placed at the label webshop here and Bandcamp here.
The band had this to say about its latest single:
“‘Death Serenade’ is a soaring black metal hymn that wields triumphant riffs like banners of conquest, evoking the grandeur of a forgotten empire reborn in flame. Its melodies surge with regal might, weaving a tapestry of victory through relentless blast beats and proud, ascending guitar work. Beneath the chaos lies a noble spirit—unyielding, majestic, and cold as the steel of a conqueror’s blade.”
