Album Review: Kill Devil Hill - Revolution Rise

Pantera's bass player, Sabbath's drummer – calling Kill Devil Hill a “supergroup” is probably a bit of a stretch; it's certainly a rhythm section to be reckoned with. On the few tracks where they live up to their legacy, Revolution Rise is actually exciting. The metal pedigree and sounds of their former bands break through occasionally, the music is tight and the vocals are impressive, but it's no metal album. There's nothing to dislike about Kill Devil Hill; it just sounded better 20 years ago, when it was released as Dirt by Alice In Chains.
