PRESS RELEASE:
Today (September 9th), progressive death metal outfit Revocation have released their eighth full-length, Netherheaven, via Metal Blade Records. For a preview of the album, a video for the new single "Nihilistic Violence" (directed by David Brodsky // mgenyc.com) can be viewed at: youtu.be/NK85pJt8VzU
Revocation songwriter/front-man 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. "We put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into the album," says Davidson. "We want people to be inspired. It's brutal. We brought our A-game on 'Netherheaven'."
"…'Netherheaven' is Revocation's best record in a decade. Expanding the dark romanticism of 'Deathless', Davidson, Bamberger and Pearson crank out the darkest, heaviest songs of their career together, never missing a beat." - Angry Metal Guy
"'Netherheaven' is a winning addition to the Revocation catalog. A masterful amalgamation of every single element that Revocation has crafted over the last several albums, sharpened into a cohesive, thoughtful, and punishing package of solid technical death/thrash metal. If there was ever a thinking man's death metal, Revocation would be the band and 'Netherheaven' would be the record!" - Metal Wani
"In a genre where every band wants to tease their newest album as their 'most heavy,' 'Netherheaven' finds Revocation doubling down on their most ferocious elements. The band achieved impressive levels of power after recording as a three-piece for the first time in 13 years, while maintaining their tech-metal prestige." - Metal Injection
"…'Netherheaven' is easily on par with the band's very best, and might even be the new standard by which all their work will be judged going forwards…this is one album that does not miss." - No Clean Singing
"…Revocation's 'Netherheaven' represents the next stage in their sonic evolution: from primordial metallic neophytes back on albums like 'Empire of the Obscene' and (my first taste) 'Existence Is Futile' to more full-fledged tech-death beasts such as 'Deathless', 'Great Is Our Sin', and 'The Outer Ones'. 'Netherheaven' continues the progression in quality you have come to expect from the greater part of the last decade." - Invisible Oranges
