This instantly makes me think that Revocation will be completely awesome. These guys look like they rule and don't take themselves at all seriously.
It got me thinking - so much of metal is wrapped up in image, whether we like it or not. From the long hair to the corpse-paint to the mandatory extremely-serious band photos, the history is well documented. But in the end, how much does a band's image effect our opinion of them?
I should note that Revocation do in fact rule, and have signed to Relapse. Cosmo Lee recently discussed them here.

i can't count the number of albums i've bought totally blind just based off album art (and fortunately i've got a pretty good success rate). that's how my love affair with anodyne started -- being struck by the art on outer dark. and prolly next week i'll post an album i picked up purely because of the font.
Okay, I guess it's time for me to check these guys out. This is the 3rd or 4th time I've read about them in a week.
I essentially had the same thought with that photo oddly enough. I remember thinking "I totally know these guys," which makes me appreciate their music (it kicks ass regardless) that much more. It seems more honest.
