Long-running Italian heavy metallers REVOLTONS will release their seventh studio album “Celestial Violence” on May 12th 2023 via Sleazy Rider Records.
The band explains:
“Given what humanity has been through in the last three years, this seemed to us the most appropriate title for an album whose sound and lyrics were born during the lockdowns. The songs describe both personal events (ruined relationships, deaths or suicides of loved ones and surreal situations) and general ideas about what happened in these three years and what reality is. In particular the tetralogy ‘The Game’-‘Reality is a Crime’-‘Spiritual Monster’-‘Cosmic Disabled’ describes what we mean by celestial violence. It is the story of a spiritual seeker who is facing this period and who is well aware that there is no creator God who created this delirium but that God is what resides within us and unites us all. We are all one and therefore we are all accomplices to what has happened and has always happened and cannot take refuge behind futile, pathetic and unrealizable conspiracy theories. He knows that reality is a play of forces where everyone participates, and that humanity is at a low stage of its evolution and that to improve the world it must first of all improve itself. It is his love and hate relationship with ‘god’, that is, with himself and his limitations. Ultimately it is humanity that has raped the planet. We are divine beings at a very low evolutionary stage. We still have a long way to go.”
