Revocation

Revocation

Technical death metal masters Revocation will release their new album New Gods, New Masters on September 26 through Metal Blade Records. Led by Dave Davidson, the quartet delivers nine tracks of relentless brutality, taking the intensity and musical precision of Netherheaven (2022) even further. Featuring a revamped lineup, the album explores our fascination with technology and artificial intelligence, which Davidson sees as the new deities of our age. It is a dark reflection on technology’s excesses and the risks of a dystopian future—or even humanity’s annihilation.

Carnosus

Carnosus is a progressive death metal band from Örebro, Sweden, formed in 2011.

For fans of Revocation, The Black Dahlia Murder, Aborted, Rivers of Nihil and Psycroptic.

Defeated Sanity

Founded nearly 30 years ago by Wolfgang Teske and his son Lille Gruber, Defeated Sanity has established itself as a leading force in brutal death metal. Known for its technical prowess, brutality and creativity, the band has released a string of albums and toured across six continents. After working with Grindethic Records and Willowtip Records, the group joined Season of Mist in 2023. Its latest album, Chronicles of Lunacy, released on November 22, 2024, reaffirms its standing in the extreme death metal scene.

Gorod

Gorod returns with The Ember Gone, a more progressive eighth album that follows squarely in the footsteps of Transcendence. Recorded entirely at Bud Studio by Mathieu Pascal, the quintet’s latest offering combines technical prowess with intricate arrangements and captivating atmospheres. Its concept and lyrics, firmly rooted in contemporary reality, question the society we live in today. Another milestone for the band on the international tech-death scene, the album is now ready to be brought to life onstage.
