Technical death metal giants Revocation will release their new full-length, New Gods, New Masters, on September 26 via Metal Blade Records. To celebrate the announcement, the group dropped a video for their new single, “Cronenberged,” which includes guest vocals from Jonny Davy of Job for a Cowboy.
Produced by Dave Davidson and mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren, the album also includes appearances from Travis Ryan (Cattle Decapitation), Luc Lemay (Gorguts), and jazz guitarist Gilad Hekselman. Artwork was created by Paolo Girardi. Following the album’s release, Revocation will embark on a North American headlining tour from October 16 to November 15, with support from Judiciary, Inferi, and Vomit Forth on select dates. Tickets go on sale this Friday (20th)at 1 PM ET.
Dave Davidson comments:
“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. 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.
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.”
