BLACK MODE REVIVAL is a power rock trio founded in Vienna in 2025 and led by MM Willy. The band combines the glam rock of the 1970s with a modern sound. Inspired by artists such as David Bowie, Roxy Music, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop, and T. Rex, they create a mix of rock, glam, funk, and pop.
Their style is easy to describe: elegance meets casualness. The songs are clearly structured, with catchy melodies and memorable choruses. The lyrics are deliberately simple and get straight to the point.
Black Mode Revival’s sound is characterized by strong vocal melodies, supported by both female and male backing vocals. Clear guitar riffs, a driving rhythm, and precise drums provide the energy. A particular highlight is the emotional saxophone solos, which give the sound its own unique character.
The band also makes a clear visual statement: stylish, glamorous, and confident. On stage and in their videos, they combine music and look into a cohesive whole. In the video clips, Mak Kalem adds even more energy with expressive dance performances.
The musicians of BLACK MODE REVIVAL have already gained extensive experience from other bands, studio recordings, and live performances. In 2026, they will release their first three singles and an EP – the start of a project brimming with groove, style, and rock feeling.
