REVOCATION have announced a new album!
Titled New Gods, New Masters, the upcoming album from the Boston, Massachusetts-based technical death metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Netherheaven, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Metal Blade Records.
The upcoming album was produced by vocalist/guitarist David Davidson and mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren [THE HAUNTED, SPIRITBOX] with artwork by Paolo Girardi [BELL WITCH, MOTHER OF GRAVES, BLACK BREATH, CRYPTOPSY]. In addition to Jonny Davy, the record includes guest appearances by Travis Ryan of CATTLE DECAPITATION, Luc Lemay of GORGUTS, and jazz guitarist Gilad Hekselman.
Titling the album New Gods, New Masters reflects Davidson’s belief about humans’ need to worship various gods. “It seems as if that desire is encoded in our DNA. As science and our understanding of nature and the universe as a whole increases, the religions of the old gods start to become obsolete,” he says. “However, I believe we’ve replaced our old gods with new ones, worshipping technology and creating a cult-like idolatry of innovators. I’ve been very fascinated with the development of Artificial Intelligence, and I’m deeply concerned where this could lead humanity whether it’s the slow march towards a technological dystopia or the all-out annihilation of our species.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, REVOCATION have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Cronenberged. The new song features a guest appearance from JOB FOR A COWBOY‘s Jonny Davy.
Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, Davidson shares, “I’m a massive sci-fi horror fan and love the body horror genre that David Cronenberg helped to create so this is my homage to that. Also, shout out to Rick And Morty for inspiring the song title.
The video for Cronenberged features tons of gore and practical effects,. It was so fun to create a little mini sci-fi horror movie for this track. Getting to transform into a hideous tentacle monster was a real treat. I knew things were going well when the My Good Eye film crew were gagging at how gross it was off screen.”
