Chaos Of Forms takes Revocation's thrash meets death metal sound and adds a plethora of twists, turns, and surprises. These surprises range from the horn section on "The Watchers" to the prominent acoustic guitars in "Conjuring The Cataclysm". Revocation kept the songwriting fresh with adding these surprises that you wouldn't normally except from them. There is also more of a focus on hooks on this record. "Cradle Robber" and "No Funeral" both have insanely catchy choruses that have a very different vocal approach then you are used to hearing from Revocation. No need to fret Revocation fans, this still has all the elements of the previous two Revocation albums ,they are just amped-up to the next level. David Davidson wrote the best riffs and solos of his career so far. There is a reason he won best modern metal guitarist, the guy can fucking shred. The solos on this album are completely awe-inspiring especially on "Chaos Of Forms"and "Beloved Horrifer". When you have a guitarist as special as Davidson, you need to use that talent and Revocation does just that.
Chaos Of Forms is the most diverse and best Revocation album to date. The more melodic, catchy vibe is perfectly fused with the fast, heavy, thrashy style Revocation is known for. David Davidson solo's are among the best (if not the best), I've heard all year. If you are a fan of thrash or death metal in any form, do yourself a favor and listen to this album. Revocation is one of the finest bands to emerge in the past few years. Chaos Of Forms is one of the best albums of 2011. It gets better by the listen and I can see it finishing very,very high on my year-end list.
