I must admit I was little afraid after 'A Fallen Temple' (1998). Okay, the majority of the new songs on it are great, but I feared the band would go down with those symphonic pieces. One more annoying point of 'A Fallen Temple': It's sold full priced! Come on record companies, keep the prices of such things low! But back with the review now. I still got 'Revolution DNA' immediately after its release. Maybe that shows my belief into them?!

Septic Flesh (SF from now on) have become a quartet. Drummer Akis have stepped in and he brought much more energy into the band's sound. On previous records drums by session players were a problem, so Akis is a huge step up. Another thing might be song writing, which is tighter than before and not so complex anymore. 'Revolution DNA' was recorded in Studio Fredman, Sweden, by Fredrik Nordstr
