The wait around Swedish OSDM band Revolting releasing material from their upcoming album has finally eased out a bit! The band’s seventh album ‘The Shadow at The World’s End’ continues Revolting’s devastating onslaught, and for any listeners/fans, promises to be every bit the aural orgasm that the band has come to represent over the years. If you have come to enjoy Rogga Johannson and Paganizer‘s brandishing of death metal, there is much to look forward with regards to Revolting , especially with the steady influence of groove in their music. Metal Injection did a premiere for the title track of the upcoming album, which you can read more about and check out AT THIS LINK. An excerpt:
“This new track, and the title track of the album, is every bit of old school death metal that you could ever ask for. Mid tempo riffs with explosive drums, something to make even Obituary jealous of!”

Revolting happens to be one of Rogga Johansson’s most prominent and long-running bands along with Paganizer. The band is also one of the most active ones. Fans will know that they’ve honed their craft over the years and they do things in a better way with each one. For the seventh full length, Rogga Johansson has done his best blending classic Swedish melodies with the brute force that his bands are associated with. Imagine a mix of Paganizer and Rogga Johansson and you’ve got something that has the best qualities of both the Swedish-sounding bands, which are presently at the peak of their respective careers. There’s of course the added groove and memorability that’s hard to dislike. All in all, if you’re a fan of well-rounded Swedish death metal that has everything in spades, Revolting is for you.
