Baltimore's Revelation have long stood as one of the more singular voices in the American doom and progressive metal underground, weaving lengthy, emotionally loaded compositions that recall the introspection of Candlemass and the exploratory spirit of early Fates Warning.

They're an important name in the underground heavy canon.
