Progressive Death Metal outfit, REVOCATION, have released their eighth full-length, “Netherheaven”, via Metal Blade Records. The band also revealed an official video for new single “Nihilistic Violence”, directed by David Brodsky (My Good Eye: Music Visuals)
REVOCATION songwriter/frontman Dave Davidson comments: ” ‘Nihilistic Violence’ is probably the meanest song we’ve ever recorded. It’s got a dark and menacing quality to it that the MyGoodEye production team perfectly captured for our latest music video. Bring your hardhats to the pit for this one because shit’s gonna get rowdy.”
Four years in the making, the Billboard-charting trio that is REVOCATION – Dave Davidson (vocals/guitars), Ash Pearson (drums), and Brett Bamberger (bass) – meticulously explore the allegorical and literal aspects of Hell as they dig deeper into the darker, more diabolical side of Death Metal. In short, where the previous album, “The Outer Ones” (2018), jettison REVOCATION into the horrific maw of the cosmos, “Netherheaven” bores deftly through the nine rings of Hell to directly confront Lucifer and his multitudinous faces.
“We’re definitely in more of a death metal mindset than on earlier albums in our catalog,” asserts Davidson. “We’re focusing on how we can write the best death metal-centric album that we possibly can while still pushing our boundaries. The new songs on ‘Netherheaven’ are evil and sinister but also have a progressive element to them to keep things interesting. It’s got our stamp on it, no question.”
