SUMMARY:REVOCATION
LOCATION:Eulogy
DESCRIPTION:Eulogy Presents: Revocation w/ Defeated Sanity\, Fuming Mouth &
  Weeping\n\nWed\, October 7th\, 2026\n\nEulogy - 10 Buxton Ave. Asheville
 \, NC 28801\n\nDoors 6PM || Show 7PM\n\n**Revocation**\n\nRevocation creat
 es extreme music for extreme times. On New Gods\, New Masters\, their fift
 h record for Metal Blade\, the quartet--spearheaded by founder/vocalist/gu
 itarist Dave Davidson--delivers nine potent and portentous songs of brutal
  lyrical and musical significance.\n\nProduced by Davidson mixed and maste
 red by Jens Bogren (The Haunted\, Spiritbox)\, tracks including "Cronenber
 ged" (feat. Jonny Davy of Job for a Cowboy)\, "Sarcophagi of the Soul\," "
 Confines of Infinity" (feat. Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation) and "Dyst
 opian Vermin" thematically explore AI and its impact on humanity.\n\n"I've
  been very fascinated with the development of Artificial Intelligence\, an
 d I'm deeply concerned where this could lead humanity\," says Davidson\, "
 whether it's the slow march towards a technological dystopia or the all-ou
 t annihilation of our species."\n\nTo wit\, "Cronenberged" is about a scie
 nce experiment gone wrong. Davidson is a massive Sci-Fi horror fan who lov
 es the body horror genre that David Cronenberg helped create\; the song is
  an homage to that. And\, Davidson adds\, "Shout out to Rick and Morty for
  inspiring the song title."\n\nThe Boston-bred Davidson credits newest mem
 bers Harry Lannon (rhythm guitar and backing vocals since 2023) and bassis
 t Alex Weber with a renewed energy and intensity onstage. "It's been a ple
 asure ripping with those guys alongside Ash (Pearson)\, who always crushes
  it behind the kit." In terms of his playing\, writing\, and singing\, "I'
 m always refining my craft and trying to get better\," he says.\n\nDavidso
 n was excited to welcome a guitar guest-as well as impressive vocal featur
 es-on New Gods\, New Masters. Revocation had late The Black Dahlia Murder 
 singer Trevor Strnad and Corpsegrinder of Cannibal Corpse guesting on Neth
 erheaven\, and Davidson recruited more talented peers for New Gods. "I'm h
 onored to have such amazing guests on New Gods. On vocals we have Jonny Da
 vy and Luc Lemay\, two vocalists that I really admire who have their own u
 nique sound\," says Davidson. "I remember texting with Jonny about guestin
 g on "Cronenberged" asking him if we wanted to be the personification of a
  mutated abomination that escapes a testing facility. He was stoked to go 
 as unhinged as possible and his vocals on that track sound truly inhuman."
 \n\nA longtime fan of Gorguts' Lemay\, describing the Canadian singer's vo
 cals as "brutal but also tortured sounding at times. There's a lot of emot
 ion in his voice and that came through perfectly on the album closer 'Buri
 ed Epoch.'" Slightly more unexpected is the contribution of jazz player Gi
 lad Hekselman\, who played with Pat Metheny at The Kennedy Center and won 
 Rising Star in Downbeat Magazine\, among numerous other accolades. He play
 s on "The All Seeing." "Gilad is a buddy of mine and happens to be one of 
 the best jazz guitarists in the world. His playing is awe-inspiring\, and 
 I'm truly honored to have him as the guest soloist on the outro of 'The Al
 l Seeing.'"\n\nNew Gods\, New Masters marks the band's 20th anniversary. R
 evocation debuted with 2008's Empire of the Obscene and subsequently relea
 sed seven critically acclaimed albums and toured over 25 countries\, bring
 ing their technically charged\, high-energy extreme metal to North America
 \, Europe\, and Asia-Pacific. New Gods follows up 2022's Netherheaven\, wh
 ere Davidson's lyrics took hard looks at Catholicism\, hypocrisy\, politic
 s\, the occult and demonic symbolism. Critics raved about Netherheaven\, c
 alling it "Revocation's best record in a decade" and praising the "darkest
 \, heaviest songs of their career."\n\nThat album set a high bar\, but an 
 even sharper musical and lyrical focus was achieved on New Gods\, New Mast
 ers\, which is deftly captured in the album artwork by Paolo Girardi. "He 
 did an incredible job of bringing the lyrical themes of a bleak techno-nig
 htmare to life\," Davidson says. "The 'New God' being birthed from the aby
 ss 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 ou
 r first demo and first full-length album cover\, which adds even more dept
 h and meaning to the artwork for me."\n\nTitling the album New Gods\, New 
 Masters reflects his belief about humans' need to worship various gods. "I
 t seems as if that desire is encoded in our DNA. As science and our unders
 tanding 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 technolo
 gy and creating a cult-like idolatry of innovators."\n\nRevocation\, unafr
 aid to upend musical and lyrical tropes with forward-thinking and sounding
  approach\, with songs that excoriate society's addiction to phones ('Sarc
 ophagi of the Soul") and animal experiments that illuminate/replicate soci
 etal issues ("Dystopian Vermin")\, Davidson's science-backed observations 
 all the more terrifying for their reality.\n\nIf technological advances cr
 eate worse problems alongside "solutions\," Revocation forge ahead\, four 
 guys plugged in\, fighting existential threats with metal\, "waiting to se
 e what the next trial of the human experiment brings."\n\nMusic grounds an
 d uplifts the band members-and fans. "I'm proud that I've been able to evo
 lve as a musician and songwriter with every release. I never want to stagn
 ate\, and I think we've achieved real growth with every album\," says Davi
 dson. "I'm also extremely proud that I've been able to keep this band goin
 g after all these years\; it's crazy to think of how far we've since the b
 eginning."\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/g5qk35-revocation-7th-oct-eul
