Stream Reveal!'s new creature "Doppelherz" in all its lunatic entirety!

Rejoice all ye appreciators of the morbid rock lunacy called RVL!

Their fourth full-length, "Doppelherz", out in a few days on Sepulchral Voice Records, is now streaming in all its deranged entirety after premiering earlier today on Decibel Magazine!

As much as we have been listening to Reveal! for quite a long time now, we have to be honest: we are literally SPEECHLESS in front of the compelling and massive work they have been able to create here!, all songs have a distinct character yet they fit together so effortlessly when you stream the entire album from beginning to end, the atmosphere is thick and unnerving and their typical macabre and haunting yet heavy brand of death/thrash/black metal is all over the place and won't leave the listeners time to catch their breath.
WOAH!
Now, we understand what Crakk and Spine meant when they told us in our recent interview that "Doppelherz" is "a fucking new masterpiece album" and that "This is the best thing you're going to hear in probably the rest of your life... it is dark, morbid, menacing and eclectic even for RVL! standards, and their music has never sounded so confident and strong as it does on "Doppelherz".

RVL!'s own Crakk offered on Decibel Magazine a couple of advices about the listening experience:

“Shit to say about ze album:

1. Listen to Doppelherz at a very high volume to hear the textures; clearly, it’s absolutely worth it.

2. Give Doppelherz a few minutes of your time/attention without talking to yourself, with an open mind, etc.

3. Then, if you don’t like it — we just go our separate ways here, retarded one.

Anyway watch out, or I’ll suck your dick ‘boy' "



Well, after listening to the album, it sounds like we are not going separate ways at all, we are not going anywhere without this new creature in fact, we just want it in our lives and ears ALL THE TIME.

But enough words (for now...), press play and venture down the deranged rabbit hole that Reveal! have dug and see you among the hallucinating twist and turns that Doppelherz takes along the way!



Reveal!'s new album "Doppelherz" is out on December 10th, 2021 on Sepulchral Voice Records and pre-orders are now open for the vinyl edition and for the CD edition. Digital edition available on Bandcamp.

Reveal! share "Cokkkfights", new track premiere from their upcoming album "Doppelherz"

The time has finally cum to listen to a track premiere from Reveal!'s upcoming album!

The band has just shared "Cokkkfights", and you can indeed almost see those cokkkks marching in a surreal arena ready to use any trick they have to enter the listeners' subconscious and drag them in a world made of hallucinations that only speak the language of RVL!

 The song is a true little gem and definitely takes not only one but ten steps further Reveal!'s very own  way of combining odd, haunting and creepy atmospheres with rusty and psychoactively morbid rock'n'roll. You can hear it's been crafted with a taste for the timeless macabre and a ear keen on the disturbing vibes of the old school metal.  

 Stream it here below and keep your eyes open for "Doppelherz" pre-orders to begin sometime soon on Sepulchral Voice Records: Reveal!'s fourth creature is being unleashed on December 10th, 2021!

...And then you throw in the knives - A Conversation with Spine and Crakk of Reveal!

This needed to happen sooner or later on Unearthed Mirrors. We have been thinking about this for quite some time, we know there are a lot of other people here who have been waiting for this, too; and finally, today, we are tremendously frenzied to present you an intriguing and very fascinating interview with two creative minds whom we are particularly fans of: Crakk and Spine of Reveal!, who have kindly agreed to let us in on the band's twisted world... Or maybe it was slightly sadistic, who knows, and they just wanted to carry all of us inside Reveal!'s lunacy...fair enough either way, both cases are just equally enjoyable.

As most of you already know, Reveal! have just released the single "Some Marionettes, Some Kites (A Few Knives)" from the their upcoming fourth full-length.

They have shared with us, through this very genuine conversation, an insight into their sources of inspiration, their approach to music, art and songwriting, some fun memories and even some hints and teasers about their much anticipated upcoming fourth album.

We hope you will enjoy this as much as we did - let's go!

New Reveal! video for "Decomposer"

Time for some visual eeriness to accompany Reveal!'s creepiest and most subtly disquieting song: "Decomposer"!
It's certainly a track that stands out on "Scissorgod" - and throughout all Reveal!'s discography, actually - with its distinctive atmosphere, its unnerving yet captivating melody and its whispering vocals, which give in to that few louder outbursts only enough to disclose a glimpse of the true, deceptive nature of the song's only seemingly quite-paced mood.
In this video, made by our long-time conspirator in rotten graphic Vesperalia, visuals are arranged as to keep up with this twisted dynamic, and scenes of different levels of organic decomposition alternate with images of intrusive visions and disquieting details, as if to suggest an increasing corrosion of mental lucidity at play; throughout the whole video, images of sand inexorably flowing through a hourglass repeatedly show up, like an uncanny memento mori.
"Decomposer" is the third song on Reveal!'s latest album "Scissorgod", released on Sepulchral Voice Records on November 29th, 2019 and it can be purchased on vinyl and on CD at End All Parties, along with their latest merchandise, and digitally on Bandcamp.
Press play here below to watch the video for "Decomposer" and don't be surprised if the rotting smell reaches you while watching...

Photo by Björn Arnemo
Reveal! and Swamp Booking have announced earlier today that they have joined forces in order to better spread the psycho pestilence of rock'n'roll around the globe: furthermore, in addition to the show at A Sinister Purpose III next month, a new live date has been announced, this summer, on August 7th-8th, at VOID Fest in Sinzendorf (Germany). Promoters and venues and anyone interested in booking the most morbidly wicked of the bands around nowadays should therefore contact: greg@swampbooking.de.

Reveal! will also be touring with Ultra Silvam at the end of April (a tour organized by Absurde Rituale).

Let there be madness!

Reveal! and Ultra Silvam tour in April/May 2020



If a sensation of impending doom has been polluting the air recently now it's clear where it came from: the cleverly wicked entity that goes by the name Absurde Rituale, whom we have previously met also as booking agent for Obnoxious Youth, has been conspiring in the dark (at least until now) to bring an absolutely ominous combo on the road: our favourite psychoactive quartet from the grave Reveal! and Swedish black metallers Ultra Silvam will in fact embark on a tour together in April/May 2020!
Dates between April 17th, 2020 and May 1st, 2020 are available to book: promoters, venues, and other malefactors of any sort who wish to spread the pestilence and bring this tour to their town should definitely not hesitate and contact Spitzl of Absurde Rituale at: absurde-rituale@hotmail.com.

Meanwhile, on Bandcamp it's possible to blast both Reveal!'s deranged creature "Scissorgod" and Ultra Silvam's ferocious beast "The Spearwound Salvation".

Reveal!'s "Scissorgod" full stream, pre-orders and merch now available!

After waiting impatiently for Reveal!'s third creature to be unleashed on November 29th, today, unexpectedly in advance like an eiaculatio precox, "Scissorgod" has cum!

The album can now in fact be streamed in its entirety, yes, it's here, it finally cuts through the ether with its sharp and rusty blades, reaching our eager ears, and...oh man. OH FUCK if that isn't the most putridly striking, nasty and mindfucking rock music you'll hear around nowadays!

 Reveal! has spawned something unique, which once again takes their listeners by surprise and makes them question , not necessarily in this order, their own ears, their own mind and ultimately what the hell they've been listening to before Scissorgod.  It's a foul-stenching offering to the altar of creative lunacy,  which carries you to places you didn't even think existed, and do they...?, well it doesn't matter, Scissorgod doesn't care about what exists or not, it creates its own fucked up world and it is only for those who venture to listen to the music and give it total control, so that when you seem to have sort of sensed the direction it is taking you, it suddenly takes a twist, and you find yourself spiraling up and down a seemingly bottomless wormhole of sounds and madness.

Scissorgod cuts the umbilical cord to the placenta of music categorizations, and allows us to suck the stem cells of genuinely inspired music which spills out.

But enough, without further ado, here is the whole creature, to anyone who is joining us in listening, we wish you unsafe travels, maybe we'll spot each other around in a reflection on Scissorgod's blades...Meanwhile, Sepulchral Voice Records has opened pre-orders for the LP and CD version of the album, as well as for the official album t-shirt and another new t-shirt design titled Missljud.

Updates:All Sepulchral Voice Records' releases, thus including Reveal!'s, are now available officially through High Roller Records. Reveal!'s official shop can be reached at End All Parties.

Clever, Harder, Reveal!er: anticipating "Scissorgod"

After the latest track premiere presented on Decibel Magazine from Reveal!' s upcoming album, and at less than one month from its coming, the level of anticipation for "Scissorgod" is ranging from the pits of Hell to the peaks of Heaven and therefore it felt like a proper time for an introductory recap about all that has been unveiled so far regarding this enigmatic creature which is about to crawl out of its nest soon-yet-not-soon-enough.

(DISCLAIMER: Please be forewarned, this is intentionally emphasized because aimed at building up the anticipation in appreciators of Reveal!' s music, it's not intended for the casual listener, nor for the "TLTR" kind of readers.)


Going back in time, the very first sign of its existence that we know of, or at least that something was lurking somewhere in the mind of the psychoactive quartet, came from the Tighter, Tighter tour in February 2018, when a previously unheard song was noticed in the live set, stirring curiosity and making its way into the audience's ears as a subtle yet assertive preliminary, an untold promise that perhaps there would have been more to come at some point in the future.

Digital pre-orders for Reveal!'s third album "Scissorgod" now available

THE CREATURE AND ITS MANY FORMS:
Digital pre-orders for Reveal!'s upcoming album "Scissorgod" are now available on Bandcamp!

Sepulchral Voice Records comments on the release:
"The Third album by the Devil's most beloved toy, tool & tongue.An album where REVEAL present themselves at their highest musical level, their most visionary yet also most grounded. With Scissorgod do REVEAL prove again that they give no fucks for uniforms, blinders, and the opinions of others; they simply collect and inhale the madness of the world and channel it into a pure outburst of DEATH ROCK.

Top-notch production by none other than Martin -Konie- Ehrenkrona (In Solitude, Henrik Palm, Pig Eyes, Nifelheim) Recorded and mixed in the Cobra Studios in Stockholm."



Reveal!'s "Scissorgod" will be unleashed on November 28th, 2019 on Sepulchral Voice Records.

Pre-ordering Reveal!'s "Scissorgod"

So, Reveal!'s third creature comes out on November 29th and die-hard(er) followers as well as collectors of extreme(ly weird) rock music everywhere are eager to pre-order their copy: we'll take a brief recap here then to see what options are out there at the moment.
Of course, the most obvious one is waiting for pre-orders to begin on the Sepulchral Voice Records' webshop, it shouldn't be long now until they put it up on their store, and we still recommend ordering directly from the label.
However, if you are really dying to secure a copy of the creature right now and you can't wait, there are a few alternative options, in fact, some webshops are already taking pre-orders. A list of those we have found so far includes the followings:

Reveal! share new song and video "Clevermouth"

What a day full of macabre euphoria: Reveal! have unleashed a new video for their song "Clevermouth", taken from their upcoming creature "Scissorgod".

Through a sequence of ghastly and uncanny scenes, alternating between images of the band playing and what could be a twisted nightmare of a sleepwalking lunatic, the video is a perfect vessel for the song, with its tormented and raw vocals, the ominous and menacing groove which seems to be chasing the listeners through the corners of their mind, and of course the unmistakable coffin-scratching, top notch guitars running through the whole piece. An instanct addiction, if you ask us.
Indeed, what a day full of macabre euphoria...
...because Reveal! are back and undoubtedly in full, putrid force!

"Scissorgod" is about to be released on November 29th, on Sepulchral Voice Records.

Further details on Reveal!'s upcoming album, "Scissorgod"

As the anticipation for Reveal!'s upcoming creature intensifies, some juicy and intriguing details about "Scissorgod" are emerging on the web and there's enough to make all of us even more eager to hear it: Sepulchral Voice Records describes it as "[...]an album where REVEAL present themselves at their highest musical level, their most visionary yet also most grounded. From pure rockers like 'Harder Harder', 'Clevermouth', and the title track 'Scissorgod' to emotional bleeders like 'Decomposer' or 'Cointoss' to ultra-black metal killers like 'Down Through the Hole', REVEAL present themselves in a more widescreen and Technicolor manner – their focus frightening, their vision more artistic than ever before."

It also reports that this time the album has been recorded at Cobra Studios in Stockholm, with producer Martin "Konie" Ehrenkrona - a name that sounds of course well known to all of us In Solitude appreciators, since he was also the producer of "Sister", as well as of Henrik Palm's solo album.

(On a side note, to be honest here at Unearthed Mirrors we were huge fans of the production on Reveal!'s old albums, which gave them that peculiar "from the grave" sound, but surely curious to hear what this different approach will bring to the record.)


The full story can be read over at the Sepulchral Voice Records website to get ready for "Scissorgod" to invade our world and completely mess it up once again as only Reveal! can do.
