On September 28th, Revocation will release their new album, “The Outer Ones”, via Metal Blade Records. As a preview, the band has recently dropped a new single, titled “Of Unwordly Origin”. This song is indeed available to stream below!
“The Outer Ones” sees Revocation pushing both the death metal and progressive elements of their signature sound harder than ever.
Vocalist and guitarist Dave Davidson comments:
“I knew that I wanted to go in a darker direction, and this is our most death metal album to date. Sometimes when death metal bands go down the prog route they lose some of that edge, but we wanted to keep the aggression at the forefront of what we do while still pushing our boundaries.”
This time, Davidson has immersed himself in the fantastic, evoking one of the great writers of the sci-fi/horror genre.
“The title is my ode to H.P. Lovecraft and the entities of pure cosmic horror that rule that universe he created. Since the new music we were writing was so evil and spacey in sections it seemed to be the right title to fit the overall vibe. But while the lyrical content is largely influenced by such writings, in every allegory there is of course some reflection of the real world. So I enjoy writing in a way that could have one overlaying meaning and then another deeper, symbolic meaning as well.”
