Background information about 'New Gods, New Masters'

Revocation returns with their most thought-provoking and brutal offering yet on "New Gods, New Masters", their fifth album for Metal Blade Records. The Boston-based extreme metal quartet, led by the visionary Dave Davidson, delivers nine crushing tracks that blend their signature technical prowess with urgent social commentary about artificial intelligence and humanity's relationship with technology. Produced by Davidson himself and mixed/mastered by the legendary Jens Bogren (The Haunted, Spiritbox), the album features standout collaborations including "Cronenberged" with Jonny Davy of Job for a Cowboy, "Confines of Infinity" featuring Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation, and "Buried Epoch" with Luc Lemay of Gorguts.

The album's title reflects Davidson's philosophical exploration of humanity's eternal need to worship, suggesting we've simply replaced traditional deities with technology and innovation. Tracks like "Sarcophagi of the Soul", "Dystopian Vermin", and "Data Corpse" paint a dark portrait of our digital age while maintaining Revocation's trademark blend of death metal brutality and progressive sophistication. The guitar work remains as intricate and punishing as ever, while the rhythm section provides the perfect foundation for Davidson's scathing vocals and razor-sharp riffs.

For fans of: Gorguts, Cattle Decapitation, Job for a Cowboy, The Black Dahlia Murder and Ulcerate.
