With their ninth full-length studio album, Swedish death metal mob Revolting carves out another slab, which pretty much sums up the prolific yet unremarkable output of riffmeister Revolting Rogga (aka Rogga Johansson). Rogga has become more than a journeyman within the death metal scene, creating and being part of at least 50 bands, including Massacre.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no denying Rogga\u2019s passion for the subject, as alongside him bassist Grotesque Tobias and drummer Mutated Martin help him construct bruising and menacing chunks of fleshy Swedish pulp. As expected, there are those feisty foaming and concise numbers (\u2018Seven Severed Heads\u2019) alongside more melodic, less pacier splatters (\u2018The Final Journey\u2019) and no thrills in-between or around the edges.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s little to get excited about amid the familiar and often generic gushes. It\u2019s Swedish death metal right down to Rogga\u2019s frothy chops as the trio dishes up steady rhythms like \u2018A Song For The Morbid\u2019, juggernaut \u2018Swipe Of The Schyte\u2019 and the mashing belligerence of the title track and macabre buzzsaw butchery \u2018Shapeshifter\u2019. Strangely, Revolting wait for \u2018Outro\u2019 until any sort variety is applied and it\u2019s done with quite an atmospheric effect due to the cinematic feel overlayed by Rogga\u2019s guttural growl.<\/p>\n

Consistency is key here, as with most Rogga Johansson releases, and while there\u2019s nothing here to truly grab you, the sound of Revolting is the musical equivalent to that solid meat n\u2019 potatoes meal to fuel the soul. Nice cover art too.<\/p>\n
