New Gods, New Masters - CD

Revocation creates extreme music for extreme times. On their fifth record for Metal Blade, New Gods, New Masters, the quartet—led by founder, vocalist and guitarist Dave Davidson—delivers nine potent and portentous songs of brutal lyrical and musical significance. Produced by Davidson and mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (The Haunted, Spiritbox), the album's tracks, including “Cronenberged” (featuring Jonny Davy of Job for a Cowboy), “Sarcophagi of the Soul”, “Confines of Infinity” (featuring Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation), and “Dystopian Vermin”, explore the theme of AI and its impact on humanity. The title of the album, New Gods, New Masters, reflects Davidson's belief that humans have a need to worship various gods. "It seems as if that desire is encoded in our DNA. As our understanding of science and nature increases, the religions of the old gods become obsolete,” says Davidson. "However, I believe we’ve replaced our old gods with new ones, worshipping technology and creating a cult-like idolatry of innovators."
