Revival (Light the Torch album)

The album was the first to be released following the bands name change due to legal issues surrounding former drummer John Sankey's departure from the band, and how the latter wanted to claim part copyright of the name. Mike Sciulara then joined the band as their new drummer replacing Sankey. They finished the writing and recording, while their label didn’t even know we were working on an album. Jones stated “We did the whole thing completely under the radar.“ Jones has stated that he wrote the entire album while he was spending time outdoors “I wrote every bit of it outside when I was hiking or walking or running. I don’t really know why it happened that way, but it did.“ The album features Jones’ signature emotional intensity with accessible melodies and themes of resilience. ==Critical reception==

The album has received positive reviews from some music critics. Max Morin writing for Exclaim! gave the album a 7/10 stating “with all the breakdowns and double-bass aerobics we've come to expect from metalcore's more mainstream side. Howard Jones's voice has lost none of its power or bravado and for a certain type of listener, Revival could be Christmas come early. Dan McHugh of Distorted sound added “Revival doesn’t display as much technical flair as it’s predecessors but it does maintain the potency and penchant for massive choruses which has become a staple of their arsenal. LIGHT THE TORCH have developed a no frills, straight to the point metal album which is hard to fault. ==Track listing==
