Painkiller and Icon Promotions present brutal death metal band Revilement from Taibei, Taiwan. The band will tour China in April this year. Here is what the band said about themselves on their Reverbnation page:
Revilement was founded in September of 2006 and started out as an old school death metal band. Over time, membership changes brought a change in musical style, and the band evolved a more brutal and technical style in the vein of bands such as Dying Fetus, Skinless, Suffocation and Devourment. In August of 2009, the band released its debut E.P., Human Vivisection, and played its first gig outside of Taiwan at Hong Kong’s Tomahawk Metal Fest. Since then, Revilement has toured Japan, South Korea, and will soon head to Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines to spread the sickness even further throughout Asia. Revilement is currently completing it’s debut full length album, Pillars of Balance, which will be released on Coyote Records.
Check out Revilement’s song “Perverse Malevolence”:
Support bands are not yet announced but will be added soon. For those unfamiliar with the China scene, the selected venues 13 Club and VOX Bar have quite a history, with 13 Club being the metal haven of Beijing and its owner Liu Lixin being band member of ORDNANCE and founder of metal label DIME RECORDS. VOX Bar in contrast is the number one stop for all kind of bands in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, and was home for most of the punk scene during the 2000s. Being open for over 10 years is a record by itself and being able to play in VOX is an honour.
