Revocation

On New Gods, New Masters, the quartet--spearheaded by founder/vocalist/guitarist Dave Davidson--delivers nine potent and portentous songs of brutal lyrical and musical significance. Unafraid to upend musical and lyrical tropes with forward-thinking and sounding approach, Davidson’s science-backed observations all the more terrifying for their reality. Produced by Davidson mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (The Haunted, Spiritbox), tracks including “Cronenberged” (feat. Jonny Davy of Job for a Cowboy), “Sarcophagi of the Soul,” “Confines of Infinity” (feat. Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation) and "Dystopian Vermin” thematically explore AI and its impact on humanity. “I’m honored to have such amazing guests on New Gods. On vocals we have Jonny Davy and Luc Lemay, two vocalists that I really admire who have their own unique sound,” says Davidson. Slightly more unexpected is the contribution of jazz player Gilad Hekselman, who played with Pat Metheny at The Kennedy Center, among numerous other accolades. Titling the album New Gods, New Masters reflects his 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,” believes Davidson. “However, I believe we’ve replaced our old gods with new ones, worshipping technology and creating a cult-like idolatry of innovators.”
