Dead Revolution studio/live/general mayhem-blog 2007 and beyond

If the Nuclearwar will not start by North-Korea, it shall start here by us...

2010-12-22T00:05:00.000-08:00

Hello you lazy-fucks!
Time has flown by, and what have you archieved, since we met? Well We have done a lot. And nothing. Lots of being waisted, mental disorders and little of playing with our instruments...

But let's cut the crap before it even starts!
Something, we have been doing in secret, has something to do with battle-yells at Lake Ladoga, Nuclear warfare and your hometown (if you asut suomessa) .. scared yet? You should be!

blitzkrieg went blitz-fuckin'-harmageddon!

2009-07-03T18:54:00.000-07:00

So, our gig was nothing we expected... one of our members is at the hospital. More to be updated as soon as we hear from him...

I think i mentioned the havoc, didn't I..? You ordered, we delivered! Simple as that motherfuckers!

I'm about to pass out, so....

-Sami, DR

Blitzkrieg gig!

2009-07-02T10:58:00.000-07:00

It came like a bolt from the blue! Tomorrow we shall teach Porvoo a lesson of havoc, so you better not miss it! Tickets are fairly priced, 4 euros. The place, we are about to wreck, is Donington. See you all there!

Forging the pieces to fit

2009-05-21T01:30:00.001-07:00

As said before, we have extemely intensive writing process going on! There are pieces from very oldschool-Dead Revolution and then again, something completely different... What do you get by putting Primordial, Black Sabbath's first album and Morbid Angel in to the blender..? That is just one of the things that we are figuring out!
This time we are diving head first to the unknown!

Rejuvenating the old engine..

2009-05-19T23:04:00.001-07:00

Some updates since the last post. As you propably have read from our official site, we have found the guitargod that fits perfectly in our line-up! He is highly versitile and stylish player. Far more, than we expected! Matter of fact, he was only one that we tried out! There were too many of those pussies, who first contacted us and sounded exited to try rehearsals with us, but when the time came close, they either cancelled or hit radio-silence! Fuck them!

As we have reached some kind of "status quo"-state, we are now enchanting new tunes! We are on fire! Feels like we'll have fresh tracks for full-lenght album in no time!

And about the shows.. We had first gig since over year ago! Before the gig the athmosphere were mildly discribing tense... Too much personal shits, that won't be written here. But as our intro started, all load disappeared and it felt so good to be back in business!
We are planning to start writing somewhat realtime gig-blog here, so stay tuned!
And about the gigs, we have some unafformed plans but nothing to report yet. But you guys will be first to know!
But if you got desire to see us rockin' near you, in your joint or with your band, don't hesitate to contact us!

That's all for now!
Over and out!

-Sami "the Bass-tard" Ukkonen,DR

EDIT:
This is what you get by blogging in a hurry!
The first thing I forgot to mention, that our new guitarist is called Arto "Tantor" Tanttari. Fear his rage!

Second thing! We have now our cd's in our hands! the price is 5€ including shipping! You can order it by email at: deadrevolutionband@gmail.com . Further info at our official homepage!

Streams of murky water

2009-04-09T15:17:00.000-07:00

We have now put the entire forthcoming "Swampcore Unleashed"-EP in myspace. Songs shall remain there as long as we get cd's out from the press.

Also remember to rock out in Donington(Kouvola) 17.4.2009 as we kick out the jams with ID: Exorcist.

That's it for now, off to sleep!

-Sami, DR

News from the bog..

2009-01-16T09:26:00.000-08:00

As you all should know by now, Petteri "Petsa" Borg has put his guitar aside and works now in our managing department. We are now scouting for a new guitar god in our team. If you know that you have what it takes being one of us, don't hesitate to contact us!

Second thing, we have now mastered version of our EP in our hands. We are anxious to get it published, 'couse it will rip your eardrums apart! As soon as we find label to release it, you will hear from us. The material in our EP is somewhat different from the previous material from Dead Revolution, but it still has the recognisable Dead Revolution sound.

We are also working on to take over the stages this spring. After the TBA-guitar god is ready to action, we hit the road! You'll be the first one to hear!

And finally, the tasty treat from the swamp! Our first music video, "The Flagellant" is out! It was made in autumn '08 by T-ite Productions. The eye candy can be seen HERE! Make sure, that you view it in HD-mode!

That's it for now! Stay tuned!

I found God,
Its in Me now.
But I cant get high,
Cos Im always Down.

I do this right,
I do the wrongs.
Ive been a bastard all along.

-N

Fuck the music business, and fuck you all.

The band is just fantastic, that is really what i think.

2007-10-21T10:40:00.000-07:00

Hell,

Studio session are currently on hold until we get these timetable issues sorted out. Believe me, this shit is definetly worth the wait. Until that time, come see us play live (next show: Tampere, Inferno w/BtD) and buy D.Rev-shirts ;)

Rage, rages on...

2007-09-29T10:28:00.000-07:00

Yo.
All the vocal parts for the song "The Flagellant" are now done.
Its gonna be huge.
Pure power. Something old, something new.
Janne did amazing job on guitar solo and on backing vocals.
He is a demon.
I really love this band and the music it makes.

You´re time is just counting so come meet the Mountain" -Devildriver

Fuck you all.

Inventing the Swampcore

2007-09-22T08:26:00.000-07:00

Shut up!!
Listen..
I got almost all the main vocal parts made in Thursday for the song "The Flagellant".
Meaning the verses and choruses. I will at later date complete the recording, by adding screams and grunts n shit. On the whole it is still a workinprogress. Its these goddamn schedules..
Hard work.

Sooo.. I just got back from Turku. We had a blast at TVO!! Still, next time when we hit the stage in Åbo, I wanna see necks breaking 4real. Goddamn.

Next on our menu is Porvoo..
We will eat you alive.

-Nadi/DR

Back to the drawingboard

2007-09-18T10:22:00.000-07:00

Ok!
Enough with that cocksuckin already.
My boys have been workin hard in the studio. The latest news that I heard, Janne was recording guitars to our new hit single "The Flagellant". It´ll be my turn this Thursday and we´ll continue with the vocals on Friday also. Our focus now is, of our four track mini-cd, the opening track called the Flagellant.
We are goin to release it on the Net as soon as its ready. This gives us the upper hand in manipulating your musical g-spot, as you drool after our full new mini-cd.

Here as a teaser are chorus lyrics of the song The Flagellant;

And as my days turn dark,
Cynical and black is my art.
Inside my heart, molten fire.
Rage, rages on.

There you have it....
Wait.. I thought I saw a pussycat.. Where I saw a pussycat?
Gotta go!
See you in Turku 21.9!

-Nadi/DR

Pori Beyond Forever!

2007-09-16T09:05:00.000-07:00

Vittu saatana!!!
You hit the road with no expectations and no idea how the night is gonna end.
Four hours on the van with four fuckin retards that you call your bandmates. And you get to your destination and nothing is set up, the band you share the bill with is no where to be seen. And youre tired after youre shitty dayjob....

But then.

"One after one by the star dogged moon,
too quick for groan or sigh
Each turned his face with a ghastly pang
and cursed me with his eye"

..ok..irrelevant, but sounds great.
So we got ourselves to Pori n got the motor runnin. Settin up shit, PA n stuff.
Got our stomachs full of kebab, which proved to be fatal on Petsa´s sensitive little tummy. He ran to the john five times before the show. For the record, I have Ze Iron Stomak.
N as Uncle Foe was doin their thing, kickin the shit out of them Pori -metalheads, we were backstage warmin up for a show that would surely be one the highlight of this "tour" by far..

On to the band introduction on Hatecrown, where Janne forgot to put guitar effects on as he showed of his amazing finger dexterity..
To counter that, I said "thank you Turku, I mean Pori, where the fuck are we?"

The gig was fuckin awesome. People went APESHIT, especially in the final moments of our sets last song Afterlight.
Thanks Pori, it was worth it.
Until the next time..

-Nadi

I hate singers...

2007-09-12T09:26:00.000-07:00

Im baa ack!!
My voice, its workin.. Omg, Im sooo happy.

Allright, seriously, I blew my voice really bad in Turku. Its all about warming up n I didnt do dick.
So the result was there for everyone to hear.
One thing I gotta say; thanks to all you guys for the kind words after the gig. Its kinda hard to moan n cry when you see people so fired up cos of your performance.
But as an artist you allways complain, n thats idiotic.
Just have fun n fuk it all.

So I went to rehears by myself n got the engine goin again. Few days of good rest n lots of drinkin (water, you idiots). I also checked out the vocal stuff for the upcomin mcd. Its gonna blow wax out of fuckin ears, n maybe your head too in the process.

So untill then, watch out Pori..

-Nadi /DR

Broken strings and voices...bassmayhem.

2007-09-11T12:19:00.000-07:00

Howdy,

Turku-gig was pretty interesting to say the least :) Nadi blew his voice in the middle of HateCrown, so clean vocals we're pretty much left out for the rest of the show and we had to cut one new song (one with really cool Dickinson/Danzig-style vocals) out of the set.

Well...then my low E-string broke after my solo in "The Led Zeppelin"-song. My low E is like a fuckin' telephonewire and i still wonder how i was able break it. Of course i didn't have a spare guitar with me and the spare strings we're in a locked van outside the club (yeah, i'm a genius). So i joined the audience for the last song of the set. Great song btw.

But all in all; the gig was okay, the staff asked us to come back for a another gig and bassman Sami was definetly "on fire" that night ;) . Big thanks to guys of Uncle Foe and everyone at the Rokkibaari!

Setlist:

The Grind
Satanik Motobiker
HateCrown
Swamp Thing
The Led Zeppelin (New Song)
Testament (New Song)

Studio news:

Sami played the bassparts for two songs this monday. We were going to start with the guitars tomorrow, but Manu (our recording engineer) has got some livemixing gigs for the rest of the week and so we'll start the guitar grinding next monday. Stay tuned!

Next D.Rev-show: Fri 14.9 Pori, Baarikaappi W/Uncle Foe

Turkish peppers and drum playing

2007-09-05T10:50:00.000-07:00

Moi,

Studiosessions began today. Riuttala played some drums and i ate some turkish peppers. I hate the sound of clicktrack. Thanks to Santtu for borrowing the his doublekick-pedal, Riuttalas pedal is naturally in pieces...more tomorrow and maybe even some pics from studio.
