About Me

What started out as a two man band in the spring of 94...Revile was born to walk this side of the grave with the release of a 3 song demo. Allan Boughton, guitars & bass and Brian Ash, drums & vocals were ready to dig up the remaining stiffs to complete one of the heaviest bands in Michigan. With a twist of fate and the alignment of the planets the rest of the dead rose to greet the unsuspecting mortals, RJ Thomas, vocals and Shawn Petersen, guitar & bass. Lacking a bass player the band moved on releasing a 7 song demo in 96, after which they began dusting off the stones in surrounding cemeteries in search of what was missing. With shovels in hand the remains of bassist Jae Hamilton was unearthed. Now complete the five souls hit the studio to create Within the Garden; the full length CD, which with the help of the bands independent label went world wide. After a few years and some brutal shows openening for such acts as Cradle of Filth, Overkill, Death(rip chuck), Vader, Gorguts, Six Feet Under, Moonspell, Cannibal Corpse, Summon, Cryptopsy, Divine Empire, Nile, Internal Bleeding, Fleshgrind and graves full of local acts. R.J. & Shaun decided to head back to their respective graves. Through some personal tragedies, the remains also decided to visit the garden for reflection. Now after a short sleep, the decision has been made to up heave the earth once again. Luckily, a few fresh graves have already been unearthed. And out of the holes came Chad Schultz, guitars and Darren Middaugh vox. With the corpse sewn back together, the 5 stiffs have recorded an E.P. released in 06. Unfortunately tragedy has struck the band with the death of co-founding member Allan Boughton(R.I.P.) and the dismissal of Darren due to conflicts of interest between Darren and the band. At this point the remaining members have once again decided to visit the garden for reflection. The future of Revile is still unclear at this time... !

It is never too late for this killer album! Classic-sounding Brutal Death Metal by Michigan's REVILE from 1998. A great mix of mid-tempo attack with blast-beat aggressiveness; sometimes a sparse, raw, & totally underground sound, other times dark & claustrophobic (possibly recalling a less-doomy Paradise Lost 'Gothic'!)... Brutal growly vocals and grim Blackened raspiness! Surprising imaginative twists including emotional spoken-word rants, etc.! 60 minutes-- Definitely worth checking out! - Redstream, Inc. review of "Revile - Within the Garden (1998)
