2012 press on white vinyl with printed innersleeve

12 years down the line and the Canadian extreme act Revenge are delivering their fourth full length album, Scum.Collapse.Eradication. Thickly distorted, grinding guitars. Blast beats. Growls and gurgles that spit out presumably violent lyrics you couldn’t even begin to decipher. That’s Revenge in a nutshell; they don’t fuck around in the least, and they don’t pretend to. In a lot of ways and the album is very similar to their previous album, Infiltration.Downfall.Death, but as is often the case, the devil is in the details. There’s something slightly more refined about the chaos on Scum, which is hard to notice at first, but really is what makes the album shine. A plethora of slow, doomy, heavy parts provide respites from the usual grinding, and the song writing is a bit more complex. It’s not a radical change, but it turns Scum into an exciting black/death album indeed. If this is your kind of music, there’s plenty to gorge yourself on, and I find it immensely enjoyable. On the other hand, if Scum.Collapse.Eradiction doesn’t sound like your thing, don’t expect to be converted.
