Finnish death metal band Revulsion are making people sit up and notice their brand of hard-hitting, groovy and contemporary death metal. It’s just executed to perfection and begs for repeat listens. A standout song was premiered by US site Dead Rhetoric AT THIS LINK. Excerpt –
“It hits hard from the starting line with chunky mid-tempo riffing and heavy grooves. The sort of thing that quickly gets heads banging and people moving around. It’s intense and sure to deliver all of the goods that many are looking for in this sort of genre.”

Revulsion happen to be one of Finland’s best kept secrets. It’s no surprise that the country boasts of some of the finest death metal bands and with their new full length, Revulsion are sure to be considered as one among them, joining label mates Sepulchral Curse and Sadistik Forest to take the Finnish death metal sound ahead. They’re not stuck with the old school sound but are instead taking things forward with their aggressive, sharp and viciously groovy form of death metal that begs for repeat listens. There’s an air of dissonance about their sound along with plodding doom metal influences that elevate them above the meat and potatoes kind of death metal bands, without allowing it all to affect the inexorable momentum that will knock you flat. This is death metal that is contemporary and practical, taking the best elements from all over and delivering it flawlessly without pulling any punches. Prepare yourself for a fantastic listening experience from start to finish.
