REVOCATION To Unleash “Dystopian Vermin” Video + New Gods, New Masters Album Premiere/Live Chat Today!
Watch REVOCATION’s “Dystopian Vermin” video this Friday HERE.
REVOCATION is pleased to unleash a video for “Dystopian Vermin,” the latest single from their savage new full-length New Gods, New Masters. The video comes on the day of the record’s official release Friday, September 26th via Metal Blade Records.
On New Gods, New Masters, REVOCATION conjures nine potent and portentous songs of brutal lyrical and musical significance. Elaborates founding vocalist/guitarist Dave Davidson on “Dystopian Vermin.” “This one’s for the headbangers. It’s got a lot of driving momentum that morphs into some of the heaviest parts on the whole album. The video for this track was once again filmed by the MyGoodEye team who did an excellent job as always. I think they really captured the energy of this song and the location/set that they came up with perfectly fit the mood. I can’t wait to play this song live on our upcoming tour, I think it’s sure to get the circle pit churning.”

More on REVOCATION:
REVOCATION debuted with 2008’s Empire Of The Obscene and subsequently released seven critically acclaimed albums and toured over 25 countries, bringing their technically charged, high-energy extreme metal to North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. New Gods, New Masters follows up 2022’s critically-adored Netherheaven, where Davidson’s lyrics took hard looks at Catholicism, hypocrisy, politics, the occult, and demonic symbolism.
That album set a high bar, but an even sharper musical and lyrical focus was achieved on New Gods, New Masters. The Boston-bred Davidson credits newest members Harry Lannon (rhythm guitar and backing vocals since 2023) and bassist Alex Weber with renewed energy and intensity both in the studio and onstage.
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.”
The theme is deftly captured in the album artwork by Paolo Girardi. “He did an incredible job of bringing the lyrical themes of a bleak techno-nightmare to life,” Davidson says. “The ‘New God’ being birthed from the abyss of teeth and wires was even better than what I envisioned. I absolutely love the color palette he used. He even included some easter eggs from our first demo and first full-length album cover, which adds even more depth and meaning to the artwork for me.”
REVOCATION creates extreme music for extreme times.
“‘Cronenberged’ mashes out swanky, slappy bass rhythms, virulent velocity, and wrist-grinding triplet chugging, while vocalist-guitarist Dave Davidson also injects some seriously shreddy guitar moments.” – Revolver on “Cronenberged”
"This feels a little less technical than its predecessors and more concentrated on the power of writing a good riff and a great groove. Longtime REVOCATION fans are sure to find something to love here, but new fans are certainly going to find a solid entry point into the band's extensive discography here as well." – Metal Injection
"...the most energetic and fun the band has sounded since 2014's Deathless... Davidson resembles a Chuck Schuldiner of the Pro Tools era: a charismatic shredder and keen observer of the world around him with a strong point of view..." – Decibel Magazine
"...another benchmark for contemporary brutality. Few bands are this heavy and this exciting to listen to. New Gods, New Masters offers an embarrassment of flesh-flaying riches, executed with militant zeal and a veritable shit-ton of imagination." –Blabbermouth
"...a truly epic treat for all progressive aficionados who appreciate it heavy and challenging...World class!" – Rock Hard
"...an album that challenges, rewards, and leaves a lasting impact..." – Metal Hammer
"REVOCATION once again prove themselves to be exemplary students, setting standards in tech death metal." – Fuze
"They’re the kind of band that will make you headbang while simultaneously doubting the continuity of your own soul. Over the years, they’ve absolutely mutated from thrash-infused hybrids (Existence is Futile, Chaos Of Forms) to full-on Lovecraftian death metal evangelists (The Outer Ones, Netherheaven). …this album is far more prophetic than anything they have ever done… by far their finest work." – Metal Insider
"...a sonically devastating statement that both continues and amplifies some of the nihilistic themes explored on Netherheaven, offering a prescient commentary on technology and humanity." – The Moshville Times
"...a sublime performance that engrosses the listener wholly and leaves no moment for hope, salvation, nor mercy as we traverse this unforgivingly dark world." – Headbanger Reviews
"...another massively successful record in Revocation‘s ongoing evolution from a thrashy, melodic death metal band into one of the most engaging technical death metal acts the genre has ever seen." – Boolin Tunes
