It took two years, but it’s finally ready.

Murrieta-based pop-punk band My Last Revelation will be releasing its first full-length album this month.

The band will premier its album at a CD release party at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater’s Mercantile Building on April 24 at 8 p.m.

The Temecula-based rock duo Keenwild will open the show.

My Last Revelation’s album, "A Blissful Eve," will represent the band’s entire two-year-long songwriting history.

The band is comprised of drummer Derrick Hatch, 17, bassist Kevin Hatch, 14, and guitarist Jared Miller, 16.

The album will include the first song the band ever wrote, "Look to the West," and everything up to the band’s most recent song, "Fallen Too Short."

The band has changed a lot over the course of those two years of songwriting.

Their first song is straightforward, energetic and simple. It begins with distorted guitar chords scraping over angry tom-tom pounding and a shaky, rattling earthquake of bass. The song breaks into a Green Day-esque trot of palm-muted chords and straight-time drum bashing.

"Fallen Too Short" shows the distance the band has journeyed since its inception.

The song begins with the quiet sound of rain falling and thunder softly rumbling miles away. Piano chords begin gently thumping a somber progression. Notes shimmer cleanly from the guitar and the two instruments play in harmony. Then, as a distorted guitar tone shatters the calm, a synthesized orchestra swells, taking the edge off the music.

The sound is deep and dramatic – much softer than the band’s earliest song.

The band is not going soft, however, according to Derrick. It’s only showing the band’s versatility.

The storm is a reoccurring theme throughout the album. According to Derrick, who not only plays the drums but also writes the lyrics and plays the synthesizer on the album, it symbolizes the difficulties he has experienced in his still-short life.

He gave "Fallen Too Short" as an example.

"It’s the saddest, most depressing song on the whole album," he said. "I wrote the song after one experience… When you think you love someone, you know, and you get rejected and you can’t see that person the same way again."

But the lyrics don’t say this – at least, not in so many words.

The lyrics in the album tell the story of a man who goes off to an unnamed war. This, Derrick said, tells the story of the difficulties he has faced through allegory.

"The fictional guy is kind of lost and wants to find meaning in his life and when he’s out there in this war, he’s changed for the better," he said. "I use war as a metaphor for having something bad happen in his life… It’s truly through these situations we become better in life. He finds meaning."

The storm, therefore, is a metaphor of another metaphor – it symbolizes the fictional man’s war, which in turn symbolizes Derrick’s own struggles.

But then again, he added, that’s just his interpretation. "There is no one specific way to understand the concept [of the war]," he said.

"A Blissful Eve" will be available after April 24 on iTunes.com, MP3.com, Amazon.com on the band’s Web store at www.mylastrevelation.com and at live performances.
