I’m a big believer in supporting new music and new bands. So, not many of you will have heard of Revmatic as they are quite local to me, hailing from Kingston in SE Ontario. Based around the talents of Nathan Yetter who sings, plays lead guitar, and wrote all the tunes himself (I think).
Lord Of The Dark gets this four track EP rolling with a nice groove and swing, but next track Wake Up Screaming is a monster. It has a killer fat D-tuned riff that just grooves along, it’s my favourite tune. Hysterical has a NWOBHM a feel to the main riff and the main verse feels a bit like Metallica. Life Of Insanity closes out the EP, and the tune feels a bit punk rock after the main riff, I love the twin melody guitars.
Another pressing that is soooo quiet and feels as though it hasn’t been mastered. Good effort for their first time out.
7/10 from The Grooveman.
