WRATH OF VESUVIUS “REVELATION” ALBUM REVIEW

After a long wait following the announcement, the Wrath Of Vesuvius debut album “Revelation” has finally been released through Mediaskare Records! If you're looking for a sick progressive deathcore/death metal album with a lot of creativity and a load of good riffs and ideas, this will be right up your alley.

The album features the previously released songs “Revelation”, “Regarding Unity” and “Somber Silence”. Some of the new tracks like “At Wit's End” and “The Light Once Sought After” (if you're seeking heaviness) or “Currents” and “Grievance” (two of the most intense and surprisingly melodic passages used to end the album) may feature what you're looking for.

“Regarding Unity” remains, in my opinion, the best track on the album though. In this track the band's skill and creativity are displayed in the best way, revealing their true potential with an amazing hint of melody to boot. If they weaved together more tracks along those lines, this album would be oozing with greatness.

Unfortunately, Wrath of Vesuvius are not able to keep that high level for the duration of "Revelation". That's really the main flaw of an otherwise well executed album. But the record still features many elements that will make many of you appreciate the content. Credit is due is here.

This is definitely worth a bunch of listens from you all. There's a lot to be interested in while having a "Revelation". As stated before, this band shows some serious skill in their execution and there's great potential for future growth. Listen to tracks provided and be sure to keep an eye out for Wrath of Vesuvius.

WRATH OF VESUVIUS “REGARDING UNITY” LIVE MUSIC VIDEO

San Josè's uprising technical deathcore band Wrath Of Vesuvius are quickly approaching the release of their new album “Revelation”. It's set for July 23rd through Rite Of Passage Records! And to tease us, they just uploaded a new live music video for a brand new track called “Regarding Unity”! This just adds to the chaos created by the two previous singles “Revelation” and “Somber Silence”.

The new track is just as massive as the other ones as it mixes a huge sound, powerful riffage, insane breakdowns and some really furious sections. The song is fast, dramatic and dare I say theatrical with an intense ending. The video is pretty cool as well.

With three tracks released it also seems like repetition will be scare on "Revelation". These guys have a lot of good, varied ideas for the riffs and overall composition.

Stay tuned for the full release coming in July!

THE WRATH OF VESUVIUS NEW TRACK "SOMBER SILENCE"

Here is something that will definitely increase the anticipation over the Wrath Of Vesuvius album "Revelation". A new track "Somber Silence" has been uploaded by the band and for lack of a better explanation... it's fucking sick! "Somber Silence" is a heavy tune providing intensity and moshablitiy with a dramatic melodic section to boot.

As we wrote in our album preview (take a look see here), the album is scheduled to be released Spring 2013 via Rite Of Passage Records. Definitely something we're all looking foreword to, and I think you should all do the same! Listen to the new single and the lyric video for the demo version of the title track "Revelation" below as we all wait for more details!
