After years of anticipation, Revis storms back into the spotlight with their new single “Killing Time”, a track that not only marks a triumphant return but also reaffirms why they became one of post-grunge’s most compelling names in the first place. Emerging once again from their Southern Illinois roots, the trio Justin Holman (vocals), Robert Davis (guitar), and David Piribauer (drums) prove that their move to Los Angeles and their major label legacy with Epic Records was only the beginning of their story.
The rhythm section is equally impressive. Piribauer’s drumming feels deliberate and calculated, knowing exactly when to slam down with force and when to pull back, creating dynamic shifts that keep the listener locked in. This precision gives Holman’s vocal performance the perfect canvas to shine. Holman moves effortlessly from a subdued, introspective delivery to a fierce, soaring grit that’s packed with emotion. His voice doesn’t just carry the lyrics, it inhabits them, making each line feel urgent and lived-in.
“Killing Time” pulls you in with a guitar tone that’s equal parts grit and melody, instantly calling back to the raw, emotional energy of early 2000s alternative metal while keeping its sonic palette refreshingly modern from the first note. Robert Davis’s guitar work is masterful, dense, and textured in the heavier moments, but capable of peeling back into haunting, almost atmospheric passages that let the song breathe. With “Killing Time,” Revis reasserted themselves as a force in the alternative metal and hard rock scene. This is the sound of a band pushing forward with renewed energy.
