ROBERT REVELL Torn Remnants Of Nobility
Robert Revell is a musician from Sydney, Australia currently living in Los Angeles. When he found the SPK record “Information Overload Unit” at the age of 10 he instantly connected with it. For the first time in his short life he had found music that sounded like what was inside his mind. He asked his father (Graeme Revell) about it and learned that it was his own record. Everything made sense. Robert has played in bands over the years as a guitarist, vocalist, bassist and drummer in styles ranging from death metal, musique concrete, slam, thrash, experimental, doom, noise, jazz, blues and more. He has an extensive unreleased catalogue of about 20 albums across many genres as well as film, television and theater scores. All he’s ever wanted is oblivion. He seeks a reprieve from addiction and several other mental health issues through music, art and poetry. A person of extremes he wants to either be on fire or submerged in a metaphorical sensory deprivation tank and his music reflects that. “Torn Remnants Of Nobility” mirrors our innermost thoughts and desires of violence, sex, murder, regret, pain, shame and hatred. A method of exposure and release that allows us the ability to deal with the duality of living in a society that requires the separation of these principals. It is the aural medication that keeps the relentless obsession for destruction in its place. Robert is also part of the current line-up of SPK. Full tracklist: 1. Five Forgotten Truths Of Enlightenment 2. Self Imprisonment Through Apathy 3. Rewiring The Pleasure Circuitry 4. Patchwork Of Unwilling Organ Donors 5. Choking On The Dust Of Yesterday's Dreams 6. Forgiveness In The Face Of Regret. Price: € 20,-/copy incl. worldwide shipping.
Torn Remnants Of Nobility takes place in Roberts psyche, as if it were a forge of heavy metals that simultaneously serves as an exorcism to deal with his own inner demons. Released on November 8, 2025, the opening track is heavy, a direct drill to the eardrum. Five Forgotten Truths Of Enlightenment undoubtedly showcases the best of 80s industrial music. Its followed by Self Imprisonment Through Apathy, a march, an epic that sounds like a horde of invaders from a Skynet-like inferno. (..) One of my albums of the year.

Robert Revell doesnt so much immerse his audience in these six tracks as much as he inflicts upon them a sonic voracity whose only traces of anything remotely harmonious arrive in the morose piano tones on Forgiveness in the Face of Regret. (...) Torn Remnants of Nobility is as violent a record as one can imagine, hearkening back to the dangerous psychic assault of early industrial – not as an exercise in nostalgia, but as a challenge to the listeners capacities. Youve been warned.
(ReGen Magazine, December 2025)
Musik als Selbsttherapie und Überwindung autodestruktiver Obsessionen, von Sucht, Gewalt, Sex, Reue, Schmerz, Scham und Hass. Mit martialischem Beatmahlwerk, dämonischem Gurgeln, hektischem Puls, flüsternder Frauenstimme im Kopf.
(Bad Alchemy, January 2026)
Sześć nagrań z „Torn Remnants Of Nobility” jest mocno zakorzenionych w dawnych dokonaniach SPK, ma jednak zdecydowanie bardziej ekstremalne brzmienie. Debiutancka płyta Roberta Revella pokazuje, że współczesny industrial czerpie swą moc z innych źródeł: przede wszystkim z death i black metalu, ale też z mało znanego 45 lat temu japońskiego noise’u i nie wymyślonego jeszcze wtedy przez Lustmorda dark ambientu.
