Welcome to Episode 2 of the Face Ripper Records Podcast! Host Ben Sebastian is back in the reaction sphere for a very special, and very overdue, episode.

I'm back! After a long and unexpected hiatus, I'm returning to make good on a woefully overdue video for the powerhouse hard rock band, Revolution Reign. Hailing from Tucson, Arizona, and led by the phenomenal vocals of Guy Freedom English, this band delivers classic, fast-paced heavy metal with a modern edge. In this episode, I'm reacting to their June 2024 single, "The Crimson Illusion," a track packed with themes of deception, manipulation, and breaking free from false realities. Join me for an honest, nervous, but passionate deep dive into a fantastic song, and find out why we should all be supporting artists like this.
