REVEL IN FLESH was formed by Haubersson ex-IMMORTAL RITES in late 2011. The debut album “Deathevokation” was recorded as a duo with long-time comrade Maggesson DAWN OF DREAMS, APOPHIS etc. and was highly acclaimed within the underground scene.
The album was produced and mixed in Maggesson’s VAULT M. Studios and mastered at Unisound Studios by Dan Swanö EDGE OF SANITY, BLOODBATH etc. From that point Dan Swanö was involved in all productions of the band so far.
Another really important person regarding the visual presentation of the band has been the rising Spanish cover artist Juanjo Castellano, who has been responsible for all album covers and illustrations thus far.
In spring 2012 the band grew into a full force live band when Vögtsson ex-CHAOSREIGN, GRAVEN on Drums and the two ex-DEATHVASTATION youngsters Herrmannsgard (Guitars) and Götzberg (Bass) joined.
In May 2012 they played their very first show with PAGANIZER from Sweden. The already 3rd gig for REVEL IN FLESH took place on the tent stage of „Party.San“ and support shows for bands like EVOCATION, DEAD, FLESHCRAWL, BRUJERIA plus a gig at the „Nocturnus Festival“ followed.
In spring 2013 the 2nd longplayer “Manifested Darkness” was unleashed. This time the band recruited Dan Swanö for a proper mix & master job and the result offered a major step forward in terms of sound but most of all the whole way of songwriting and expression got much more of a very own touch.
More live shows were played and at festivals like „Summer Breeze“, „Protzen OA“ or „NRW Deathfest“ and especially the mini tour with PUTERAEON and the first foreign show in Barcelona were kinda milestones for the band.
In 2014 REVEL IN FLESH released several split-7” EPs w/ PUTERAEON, FERAL, GRAVE WAX and THE DEAD GOATS and played more great shows and festivals like „In Flammen OA“.
After fulfilling their old contract REVEL IN FLESH signed a new deal they release of highly acclaimed 3rd album “Death Kult Legions” in December 2014 brought a massive push to their reputation within the worldwide Death Metal community.
REVEL IN FLESH went on their great path of death, released some split-7″s with HUMILIATION, ZOMBIFICATION and WOMBBATH and played loads of cool shows and smaller tours with PUTERAEON, GRAVEYARD (ESP), FLESHCRAWL, SOULBURN, DESASTER and many more.
Now by the end of 2016 after 2 years of songwriting and recording REVEL IN FLESH are back with their 4th and probably most melodic album thus far. „Emissary Of All Plagues“ is the next logical step in combining atmosphere, groove and pure Death Metal brutality executed in their very own Revelish way!
So watch out for the D.D.R.Tape Series #18. At 12th december 2016 the plague will be unleashed! “Emissary Of All Plagues“ will be limited to handnumbered 300 copies!

Press-Reviews:
„Eine der besten deutschen Old-School-Death-Metal-Bands, die sich auch international mit ihrer HM2-Kunst nicht zu verstecken braucht!“
10/10 HOTEL 666.DE
…Und das ist es, was Revel In Flesh ausmacht: Hier ist nicht nur Stumpf ist Trumpf, sondern eben auch Abwechslung. Dazu gesellt sich noch in guter alter Tradition das obligatorische Cover, wobei diesmal UFO dran glauben mussten, deren „Doctor, doctor“ allerdings auf 6 Oktaven tiefer gestimmten Klampfen extrem geschmeidig klingt. Mission mehr als erfüllt!
8,9/10 Punkten ZEPHYRS ODEM
„Ein famoses Death Metal-Album!“ –
12/15 LEGACY – Soundcheck Pos. 5
„…This album is blunt and swings at the same time. Mercilessly catchy, almost shameless. Love it! I almost want to do a little dance on the Rot’n’Roll-ish track ‚Casket Ride’… Which gives the neighbors across the street something to laugh about…“
86 / 100 Score LORDS OF METAL
„REVEL IN FLESH gehören spätestens mit „Emissary Of All Plagues“ zur absoluten Speerspitze der nationalen Death-Metal-Bewegung!“
8,5 / 10 Punkte ROCK HARD
„This will burst your eardrums! The best album of that ilk this year!“ –
18/20 LE WEBZINE METAL A L’ESPRIT LARGE
„….Man mag „Emissary Of All Plagues“ durchaus als Hommage an die Großtaten solcher Bands wie Dismember, Hypocrisy, Edge Of Sanity, Entombed und selbst Amon Amarth ansehen. Das Kunststück, das Revel In Flesh auf diesem Album vorführen, besteht darin, stets eigenständig zu bleiben, ein großes Maß an Wiedererkennung zu besitzen und somit einmal mehr zu unterstreichen, warum sie zur Spitze der deutschen Death Metal-Szene gehören…“
8,5 /10 Punkten MEGA-METAL.DE
„Great old-school death metal the true classic Swedish way. The buzzsaw HM2 sound is there and rips your guts out, simply fucking awesome! One of the best albums released this year!“
Martin Schulmann CENTINEX/DEMONICAL
„Ohrwumcharakter!“
HEAVY METAL HEAVEN
„So muss Death Metal 2016 klingen!“
