REVOCATION Announce New Album ‘New Gods, New Masters’, Drop New Video Featuring Jonny Davy of Job For A Cowboy

Revocation have officially announced their ninth studio album, New Gods, New Masters, which will be released on September 26th through Metal Blade Records. A new single “Cronenberged”, featuring Jonny Davy (Job For A Cowboy), is out now alongside its gory, sci-fi-inspired music video.

Vocalist/guitarist Dave Davidson shared insight into the record’s title and overarching themes:

“It seems as if [humans desire to worship gods] 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.”

The newly released single “Cronenberged” serves as a love letter to classic sci-fi horror and body horror themes. Davidson explained:

“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.”

Directed by David Brodsky (Killswitch Engage, Whitechapel), the video is streaming now, with physical and digital pre-orders for the album available via metalblade.com/revocation.
