Meanwhile, Reverence won the 2018 ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Album. Reverence notably entered the U.S. charts, peaking at number 2 on the Top Hard Rock Albums, number 4 on the Top Rock Albums, and 35 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, its singles “The Void” and “Prey” entered the U.S. Mainstream Rock songs, peaking at 18 and 27.
The band, comprising Winston McCall, Jeff Ling, Luke Kilpatrick, Ben Gordon, and Jia O'Connor, has developed their sound based on influences from metal legends, such as Metallica, Slayer, and Iron Maiden. The music also notably contains elements influenced by punk and hardcore bands like Hatebreed, the Offspring, and Faith No More.
