Oxford melodic metal chiefs ‘Reveller’ are primed to etch a prominent name
for themselves within the UK metal scene. Serving up an ear-shattering sound
that marks their intention and throws down their manifesto, the driven
quintet are ready to hurl themselves into the national arena, and have the
perfect bait in the shape of their new lyric video ‘Drown’, watch it here –
Reveller started life in 2014 with old school friends John Gould on guitar
and Gavin Hobbs lashing out the beats, along with new friend Dan Ashby
handling guitar duties. However, it wasn’t until new vocalist Mattias
Winchez joined the crew in the Summer of 2015 that everything began to shift
for the groove metallers. The unit then recruited new bassist Ryan Clayton
and set about reshaping their set. With a change in sound and keen focus on
melody and groove, Reveller are ready to take centre stage.
The band’s new single ‘Drown’ was produced and recorded by Romesh Dodangoda
(Bullet For My Valentine / Bring Me The Horizon) and it’s an explosive
debut, loaded with soaring melodic passages and brutal riffery that twists
and turns at every corner. The five-piece exhibit their deft ability to fuse
and meld genres, distilling influence from everyone from Killswitch Engage
and Protest The Hero to Metallica and TesseracT. With plans afoot for
further recording and shows, Reveller are sure to rise this year.
