The Apocalypse Blues Revival

The band features two members of the rock group Godsmack, Shannon Larkin and Tony Rombola, alongside Brian Carpenter and Ray Cerbone.

Shane Hall (who sang for another project that Shannon and Tony were doing on the side for fun) replaced Ray "Rafer John" Cerbone on vocals.

Godsmack bandmates Larkin and Rombola discovered their mutual love of blues music for the first time while they were writing together back in 2010.

Growing tired of metal music they played in Godsmack, they put together a side project, which later evolved into Blues Revue when they added Carpenter, who had won a talent contest, and met Cerbone in a biker bar.

[5] Three months after signing to Provogue, the band released their self-titled debut LP on August 26, 2016, produced by Dave Fortman.
