Kansas hardcore collective REVISIONIST has issued a second single and video, “Deathbed Kings,” from the forthcoming The Emptiness of Gravity EP.
“Deathbed Kings” offers a glimpse into the rising issue of declining mental health as people around the world live in fear and cut themselves off from the outside due to the global pandemic. “This song focuses on some darker content while still trying to give some hope,” says drummer Josh Peavey. “Hope is something I think we could use right now.”
Musically, “Deathbed Kings” is an all-out aural assault. “‘Deathbed Kings’ is my favorite drum song on the record,” vocalist Eric Martin says. “It just rips.”
Founded in Wichita in 2016, REVISIONIST formed with the intent to do one simple thing – write unrelentingly honest music, devoid of any gimmicks. Harkening back to the chaos driven sounds of early 2000s-era hardcore and metal, REVISIONIST pulls no punches and delivers on that promise on the six-track EP The Emptiness of Gravity.
