Revocation release new song ‘The Outer Ones’

REVOCATION have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Outer Ones, is the title track from the band’s upcoming new album of the same name, which is scheduled to be released in September this year.

Listen to The Outer Ones here: 

Speaking about the upcoming record, vocalist/guitarist Dave Davidson says, “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. 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.”

Alongside the release of the new song, you can view both the track list and artwork for the upcoming record. Both of which are available to view below:
