REVENGE – Triumph.Genocide.Antichrist CD (Reissue 2020)
There is no mercy here. No safe harbor. Only annihilation. Canadian war metal institution REVENGE deliver their most iconic and essential assault with Triumph.Genocide.Antichrist, now reissued on CD via Osmose Productions in 2020 with a revisited layout. Among the chaos-drenched legions of the war metal underground, Revenge stand unchallenged — and this album is their definitive statement.
From the opening shriek of “Decimation Antichrist”, the listener is hurled into a maelstrom of militarized drumming, grinding, noise-ridden riffage, and vocal fury that borders on madness. James Read’s signature high-pitched, crazed snarl tears through the chaos like barbed wire, while the inhuman low-end growls of the late Pete Helmkamp (Angelcorpse, Kerasphorus) add unholy depth and weight. This is the sound of total war — no quarter given, no survivors.
Yet beneath the relentless, grindcore-adjacent violence lies a surprising and undeniable sense of groove. Tracks like “Blood of My Blood” and “Heathen Hammer” lock into slower, catchier, almost hypnotic riff patterns that rank among the best in the entire Revenge catalogue. The explosive “Attack the Enslaver” and the ritualistic “Altar of Triumph” balance bombastic war metal intensity with moments of eerie, crushing restraint. The lyrics — short, vivid, and utterly merciless — are declarations of conquest and extermination, enhancing the brutal, militarized atmosphere with every word.
For those seeking the raw, unpolished sound of true underground extremism, Triumph.Genocide.Antichrist remains the high watermark. Revenge’s chaotic, unconventional sound may initially feel uncomfortable, even hostile — but within the carnage lies a record of immense power, conviction, and primal catchiness. This is war metal perfected.
