Welcome to R E V I L E @ Sounclick.comBand/artist history
Revile began more or less in 1999, Gigging and recording in Ireland. The intention was simple-just to write heavy music and pass out and trade recordings with as many people as possible and to play live.
At the start of 2003 the band decided to make some changes. The work ethic was to be stepped up several gears, old songs were scrapped and new ones written, an ep was planned along with some different ideas for gigs. Strong vocal melodies replaced the Thrashy shouting style of past material and most of the songs were born in the studio through the process of jamming.
The songs were picking up at a fair pace so the band decided to put on a show in April 2003. In anticipation of this, "Suffer My Insomnia" was recorded over a weekend in Cosmic studios and T-shirts of the same printed. The gig involved bringing over an unsigned Norwegian band Inchi and the setting was the Temple Bar Music Centre. The gig turned into two gigs, the second being in Eamon Dorans with the idea of having diverse acts performing as opposed to several bands of the same ilk.
It was now May and the ep was taking shape, more songs were written and samples were integrated into the sound. After months of rehearsal Cosmic studios was booked for eight days over the period of one month from September to October. The ep was to be called High Tide.
At the time of writing the ep has gone to press. The band have planned a launch gig in December followed by a short tour in Norway. After the trip the band are planning to play as much as possible across Ireland, so hopefully 2004 will be the year Revile make their mark.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play as much as possible around Ireland (North & South). We've also played in Norway which was amazing as we played alongside local band Inchi and recording artists Green Carnation.
