Revenge continues to forge a solitary path. The Canadian chaos veterans once again defy what is considered modern black metal. J. Read and his long-standing partner Vermin build an impenetrable wall of frenzied guitars and scum decapitating bass on their seventh album. Violation.Strife.Abominate is a 12-song crown of elitism atop the band’s 25-year history of dominating the outer fringes of the black metal sphere. No Scene, No Brotherhood, No Remorse.
