THE BEAST

Today, Swedish sonic iconoclasts  Reveal!  stream the entirety of their highly anticipated fourth album,  Doppelherz , at   Decibel   magazine's website . Set for international release on December 10th via  Sepulchral Voice Records , hear   Reveal! 's   Doppelherz  in its entirety exclusively   HERE .

Ever surprising, ever seemingly in turmoil, Uppsala’s   Reveal!  have built a shockingly defiant canon of musick over the past decade under this moniker. Keenly note  musick : while undoubtedly rooted in metal, these four mavericks have been predictably unpredictable in just how far they’ll push their sound. Their  Nocturne of Eyes and Teeth  full-length debut in 2011 might’ve been bent and broken as far as extreme metal goes, but the follow-up  Flystrips  in 2016 began setting   Reveal!  away from the pack. And like true lone wolves, three years later did  Scissorgod  finally separate the wheat from chaff.
 
A modern classic that confused and cajoled in equal measure,  Scissorgod  set forth a spectrum of sounds which had no precedent. Thirsty and miserable but with beautiful bloodshot eyes, the   Reveal!  of  Scissorgod  sonicall y/spiritually nodded to noise-rock of yesteryear – be it The Birthday Party and other ‘80s Australian contemporaries on to the “pigfuck” movement of Big Black, Scratch Acid, Killdozer, and early Pussy Galore – but filtered it through a brittle lens of ancient death metal and first-wave black metal…and yet, it sounded nothing like that at all. LUNATIC ROCK? Maybe.

 

And predictably,   Reveal!  return with another unpredictable record which asks yet more questions and gives no easy answers:  Doppelherz . Indeed,  Doppelherz  is NOT “easy” – in fact, it’s arguably more challenging than  Scissorgod  – but through some strange sort of magick known only to them,   Reveal!  here have become more…cinematic? Epic? More “listenably unlistenable”? Truly. But, only half the truth, because the band’s truth could be lies, and lies always entice…

Doppelherz  is lunatic, and it rocks. It IS epic, and it IS cinematic. It’s also more melodic, more wounded, more wasted, more desperate, and also more accomplished and “cleaner” – only VERY relatively speaking, for this is grade-A DIRT we’re still talking about – and more professional / “professional” and even kinda more heavy metal…in the wildest, weirdest way possible.
 
Or, it all just sounds like   Reveal!  No other outfit dances as dangerously on the thin line between genius and madness as these insane Swedes, and  Doppelherz  is poignant proof.
