Missouri hard-rockers Shaman's Harvest put this project together during the global pandemic. The band admits that this seventh album was the most complicated record to make, at all levels. "Hard" has been a bit universal lately. But the road to "Rebelator" was even more difficult than the band expected: natural disasters, logistical nightmares, extreme cases of collective writer's block for writing and composition. Fortunately, they had time on their side. After a few grueling years of touring behind their last album, 2017's Red Hands Black Deeds, Shaman’s Harvest was creatively and personally exhausted.
Also, founding members Hunt and Hamler, along with guitarist Derrick Shipp and drummer Adam Zemanek, hit the reset button hard. They spent six months crafting a demo in their Jefferson City rehearsal space. Shaman's Harvest persevered and ended up with their richest and most complete album to date.
In keeping with the spirit of their last three albums, the band aimed to "de-genre-fy" their music beyond the contemporary rock-metal formula, for example, by adding arrangement quirks. The combo doesn't want to limit themselves when in the studio but to try things and take risks and find a way to make them work. Musicians are all artists, and nothing destroys art like monotony!
