Revelation Project

“Revelation Project”

Revelation Project is not your ordinary rock band. No, they are a Christian progressive rock band, and they’ll make sure the world knows! This, their first album, is actually a concept album based on the biblical Book of Revelations, and the band’s mission is clear:

“Music is only the vehicle by which we accomplish a larger purpose, the spreading of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The spreading of this message is the most important thing for all of us.”

The lyrics contain a staggering amount of references to biblical texts. The music is actually fantastic. Clearly influenced by the American progressive metal scene, this album is a lengthy conceptual piece with powerful, melodic and emotional tracks bathing in a fair amount of bombast. It starts off with a dramatic voice-over: the voice of Christ, warning us for the coming of false Christs, and predicting the end of times. This is followed by the apocalyptical sound of a major explosion, flowing into the track “Revelations,” a slow, moody introductory piece. Heavy progressive parts then are alternated with gentle, sensitive fragments and great melodies, making this album a real joy to listen to, well played and with quite good vocals by Tom Bender. The lush keyboard sounds and the great guitar solos are the focal points in Revelation Project’s music.

As for the lyrics: the concept is built around a man imprisoned for believing in Christ. He is having visions about the fate of the unbelievers, based on the Book of Revelations. You really have to be a Christian to understand how this violent story about the end of the world can be a message of hope and salvation, but trust Revelation Project to explain it to you!
