Didn't listen to the cover yet, but this band is ****ing brilliant! I saw them live when I went to see Quo Vadis; Revocation stole the show and amazed everyone. I love this band and always recommend them to fellow metal heads

[fernandorios]

Yeah going to see them next month with Children Of Bodom

[SLonergan]

Decent cover...can't touch the original though.

[Wes 5]

[Shotgunmerc]

Fuck yeah

[Ubergrue]

Wow, pretty awesome cover. I'm looking to get into a new metal band. Is this band any good?

[kertets]

Hey Ubergrue, check out spiderbait nice raw sound.

[ReynboLightning]

Wicked musicianship in this band. I saw them live with Forbidden, but I just could never get over the tasmanian tiger vocals

[EpiExplorer]

Love this band, Dismantle the Dictator is such a well written song, and Chaos of Forms, crazy crazy album...

[vandal_12]

Revocation ****ing rocks

[Rebelloc]

I strongly recommend everyone look up the song "The Tragedy of Modern Ages" and "Existence is Futile" from the album of the same name. Awesome band.

[mtllica]

I really like it.

Dave Davidson shreds the guitar like a BOSS, i just wish they had a solo vocalist rather than him. i think they'd be an even better band than they already are

[Basti95]

The original is one of my favourite songs of all time, but I'd say this totally does it justice!
+1

Their songs No Funeral sounds like Metal Malitia is places and a tiny bit of whiplash (metallica songs from kill em all)
I have to say....I don't see why there is any fuss about this band, their "just another metal band"

They mix technical death metal and 80's thrash metal into some wierdly catchy, grinding mayhem. Just give this a listen /watch?v=mmg3jr7Bhfo&ob=av3e

oh wow cool story bro

[MonsterOfRock]

Good cover, drums were a bit try-hard though, I'm not a fan of excessive kick drumming, unless of course the context demands it. Vocalist did a decent job too. Patton owns this too hard though, should check out the FNM performance of this song at Download.
