If there's ever been a metal stamp of approval to have, Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster is certainly up there. In an interview with Metal Blade regarding the label's 40th anniversary, Webster discussed why he's such a big Revocation fan and what he thinks makes them so special in the modern metal landscape. Aside from the fact that they rule.
"One of the bands that's been on a Metal Blade more recently that's one of my favorites is Revocation," said Webster. "I really feel like those guys are a great example of a Metal Blade band in that they have roots in traditional kinds of metal.
"You can hear some traditional thrash and death metal in there, but they're also very progressive and forward-thinking kinds of musicians. There's a lot of things I hear them do that sounds rooted in tradition but they're also pushing the envelope a little bit."
