Nameless Grave Records is proud to announce the release of Revelator’s debut full length, Light the Devil’s Fire, an arcane and ancient black/death assault hearkening back to the riff lords of yesteryear: Desaster, Mortuary Drape, Nifelheim, and the earliest years of black metal.
Spawned from the cold, grim heart of Edmonton, Canada, Revelator is a nihilistic assault that is raw, relentless, and unwavering in its devotion to the darkest corners of archaic extreme metal. Born in 2017, Revelator quickly established itself as a local beacon of furious, unrepentant energy, aligning themselves with the primal ethos of unholy power that goes back to the roots of their genre, wielded mercilessly through every riff, every beat, and every beckoning.
In 2018 and 2019 the band unleashed two self-released cassette demos, gaining a cult following among those true at heart that encountered their music, and the band expanded from a two piece recording project to a savage live band, igniting a fire of chaos across the stage that mirrored their destructive studio presence. With a lineup forged from experience, the members of Revelator have a pedigree that speaks volumes. Their collective history includes bands like Weapon, Begrime Exemious, Reliquary, and beyond, with those years of experience coming together to new form: Revelator.
Prepare for the onslaught. Revelator is here. Revelator is watching you.

This is what black metal sounds like to people who do not listen to it: evil, crazy and vile.
And it's fantastic! The vocals are some of my favourite of the year! Fantastic and fun arrangements too. A solid solid release!! njordmannen

Man, this is some flat out foul death doom metal. Crushingly heavy and intimidating. The whole album oozes a thick and murky atmosphere that will leave you feeling hypoxic and catatonic. Do what you can to brace yourself against this torrent of sludge and slime. 8/10 RJ

Fantastic thrash in the vein of early Slayer, with unhinged and excellent vocals bellowed to the backdrop of top notch riffs and shredding guitar solos. Killer songwriting and super tight musicianship set this apart from the pack. These guys know how to get your neck snapping and are by no means just another retro band. Lute FP
