When someone uses the term “throwback,” “OG” or “MySpace” in reference to metalcore or deathcore, a very specific sound and style is usually conjured in the listener’s mind. South Floridian band Revelations are perhaps more the exception to this statement than the rule. Channeling a very specific style of anthemic, riveting and melodic metalcore that certainly made its debut in the MySpace era, they certainly don’t fit the standard archetype when someone categorizes something in that way. Their two works—The Beholder and the Forsaken Promo—serve as two slabs of riff-heavy, mesmerizing metalcore that evokes as strong an image as it does early Killswitch Engage as it does As Blood Runs Black and Trivium. Chaotic, churning breakdowns weave hither and fro between gargantuan riffs with intense fretwork and breakneck drumming; a voracious and dynamic vocal display dominates overtop. Throughout just under a half hour of material, Revelations channel an oft-overlooked style of metalcore and its various styles likening themselves to A Thorn for Every Heart—but thrashier—or early Bullet for my Valentine, but with cooler and more violent mosh parts. The takeaway is that while they are young, they represent and provide a stunning rendition of some of heavy music’s finest moments, made contemporary in the year 2025. - @doctor_deathcore_
