Revocation - New Album Detailed, Share Song


Revocation just announced their new album and a new song to go with it! The technical metallers are releasing Great Is Our Sin, which according to their label "is their most dynamic, boundary-pushing and weighty release to date." It is slated for a July 22nd release date via Metal Blade Records. The first song from the album, entitled "Communion", is available for streaming starting today. Get a first listen of the track now here and share your impressions.

Frontman Dave Davidson commented about the first track: "'Communion' is the fastest song we've recorded to date, and while it's blistering in terms of speed, there are also some proggy elements present to add contrast to the aggression."




The group reunited with producer Zeuss (Hatebreed, Bleeding Through), who also helmed Deathless and 2012's Teratogenesis EP.

While the songs come together to make for a cohesive record, they are further united by the lyrical concept penned by Davidson. The title itself appropriated from Charles Darwin's quote: "If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin", Davidson went about building a theme that was not only fittingly expansive, but also had real resonance with regard to contemporary society. "The concept revolves around the folly of man throughout the ages. Some themes come from historical references that are hundreds of years old, yet sadly these themes are still very relevant today due to mankind's refusal to learn from the lessons history has taught us, time and time again."

I dig this. Hope to see them live again one day; they put on one hell of a show.

China was a neat
Yet another band to ditch an interesting band logo for the generic crap. Artwork is ugly too.

Can't bring myself to give a crap about the cover when this band just keeps cranking out material of this high quality. They could put Barney the Dinosaur on the cover for all I care, just keep the metal flowing!
