Colour Revolt are hitting up Tampa next month. I plan on attending so long as my schedule allows. I’ll snap a few photos and do a little write up of how their set was.

The religious tone of their music has always gotten to me. I am curious as to what religious inspiration they used for this but they seem to really spend a lot of energy there. They twist it with morality really well too. “My bones, My body where made for good and evil”, “Eden is a hell of a place”. They bring it out with a really tortured way.

I wish I could explain myself better. To answer your question, I would have probably not have like it as much. Dante’s Inferno is 300 pages of allegorical sin. It was on my mind when I listened to it.

Court, maybe you should have reviewed this album instead of me.

Do you feel you would have gotten the album as much had you not been reading Dante’s Inferno at the time? Just curious.

This is one of those albums that I could totally see growing on me more and more as the months go on.

It just hasn’t done so yet.

I loved this album and considerably more than the EP.
I got “Plunder, Beg and Curse” right as I was reading Dante’s Inferno. It’s sort of ridiculous but I found the first four tracks almost had a similar story. “Naked & Red” has these references to a bloodied Adam, walking around a sullied Eden carrying the Devil’s decapitated head. “Elegant View” is grudgingly slow and full of despair. It paralleled Dante’s decent deeper into hell, going from vicious and bloody to dark and deranged.
The the open chord of “See it” is then light and lifting. The song continues into a very open use of reverb in the guitar. It felt as if the listener was being lifted from the crowded abyss of the previous track.
I felt this album had so much more of a story to tell. A story of morality, anguish and agression. I
only wish these guys would make it to Cali.
