Embryonic Devourment Frontman’s Midwife Called Band Name ‘Horrible’

Maynard James Keenan’s ‘Blood Into Wine’ Screening at Noise Pop Festival
San Francisco's 18th annual Noise Pop Festival will include a screening of Maynard James Keenan's documentary, 'Blood Into Wine.'

Revocation Are Into Jazz and Old Romantics
They don't come any more metal than Revocation, so it might come as a surprise that vocalist/guitarist David Davidson trained as a jazz guitarist at Boston's Berklee College of Music. "I wouldn't call myself a jazz guitarist, but some of that crept into my style," the 23-year-old tells Noisecreep...
Revocation Surprised with Spin Magazine Interview
Only one year ago, Revocation were just another passionate young metal act with no record label.

Revocation’s ‘Dismantle the Dictator’ was ‘Inspired by George Bush’
As a whole, Revocation are not a political band -- at least sometimes.
