I am really into this. Do you
ever instantly get that feeling where you go “Oh yeah, this is the shit”. No?
Well, perhaps you should be listening to Sputter The Worms .
Reverted is a four piece band from London , UK
“Don’t Try To Steal Me From The
Inside”. Firstly what?! Is that possible? This song has a good intro. What I
would call a “Get Set and Go” start. One, Two, Three and we’re off. You’ll
understand when you listen to it. The point is it’s a good technique that I am personally
partial too. I mean “Prison Song”. C’mon. We all agree that it’s awesome. They
quickly release the low vocals, the deeper tone that perfectly sets the mood of
the band. This contrasts immediately with the melodic rhythm of the guitar and
drums. Well paced and with a consistency that is soothing. I promise. This is
hard rock.
“Sputter The Worms ” has the Nine Inch Nail factor. You
take in the intro and I immediately recognise the feel and power of the band.
Reverted have really hit such a good intro here. Perfect pace from the guitar
that really empowers and controls the song. Tony Vega starts up with his duel
lyrics. A touch that is always enjoyed. He consistently sings along with the
music and doesn’t steer to far from the pace. This makes is easy to take in
lyrics. Other bands spend too much effort having bland lyrics/vocals and try to
have as many guitar solos you can fit into four minutes. It’s not a competition
guys. Reverted really nail this one on the head. The second half of this song
really picks up and makes an unexpected turn that I have enjoyed over and over.
If you could give yourself any
job, I mean any job you could think of and you had to give yourself a really
awesome job title, what would it be? Mangledonia (Harvester of Sin)? I think
this would be pretty awesome to have on a business card. This song is
immediately interesting. Immediately I think “where is this going?” and oh
look. It’s a place that is awesome. Keeping their style consistent, you can
already recognise the familiar feel of what Reverted serve. Great lyrics that
have back up and are held at all the right moments. A “Chug” (Scientific Term)
that is real head banging material. Heavy through out and music that you can
just keep listening too. This song fades out really well at the end. It’s
really good.
This next track is my favourite.
I believe many would agree with me. “Tolerance” has a real feel to it with its
immediate melody. Slowly bringing in the rest of the instruments to give it
that build up it deserves. The vocals kick in and you understand what Reverted
are about. This track is proof that this band is going places. Heavier than the
rest of the tracks on “Sputter the Worms ”
but with the best mix of melody. It has three speeds that go from slow to
medium to fast. It affects the whole song and then the cycle begins over.
You’re constantly kept on your toes and each bit that they interest just makes
you want more. This track is something special and you should have it. Trust
me.
“Die My Saint” has a slow start
but quickens up almost instantly. Followed by Tony it just gets better. Keeping
the pace, they introduce aspects that haven’t been on the previous tracks.
There is also a massive Slipknot connection in this track. The distorted
shouting, the repetition of it and the way it affects the mood of the song.
This is very inspired. Lyrically this track is my favourite. The words are
sharp and in brilliant timing with the hard rock.
Tony Vega, Ozzy Preciado, Luis L Valle and Daniel Ruiz have formed something brilliant. Consistent throughout this whole album and providing hard rock that just makes you want more. Melodic that mixes perfectly with the overall heavy feel of Reverted. It's daring but they dared and the came out the other side with hard rock that can't be faulted.
