The second long-player from hard rock supergroup
Kill Devil Hill (drummer
Vinny Appice [
Black Sabbath,
Heaven & Hell], bassist
Rex Brown [
Pantera], guitarist
Mark Zavon, and vocalist Jason Bragg), the Century Media-issued
Revolution Rise, like its 2012 eponymous predecessor, offers up a hard-hitting set of post-grunge-infused,
Pantera- and
Dio-influenced rockers that manage to pay homage to their influences while introducing a whole new flavor profile to the genre. Road tested and honed, the 11-track collection, which was produced by the band and
Jeff Pilson, and mixed by
Jay Ruston, dutifully reflects
Kill Devil Hill's rich history, as well as their considerable chemistry. ~ James Christopher Monger
