Technical death metal visionaries Revocation have released “Sarcophagi Of The Soul”, the latest single from their highly anticipated new album New Gods, New Masters, due out September 26 via Metal Blade Records.
The track tackles society’s increasingly toxic relationship with technology and digital identity. Revocation vocalist and guitarist Dave Davidson explains: “‘Sarcophagi Of The Soul’ is about our addiction to technology, primarily our phones. We use these devices to create idealized avatars to present to the world, when in reality nothing is ever as perfect as it seems.
“As we continue to feed our vanity the lines start to blur between our identities and the false narratives we create as these digital twins slowly begin to usurp our lives. The music video for this track features the incredible artwork of Tony Guarladi-Brown who created an entire graphic novel as an accompaniment to the new album. The artwork for this comic book is truly amazing so we wanted to give our fans a sneak peak before it gets released alongside the record.”
The song’s lyric video offers a preview of artwork by Tony Guaraldi-Brown, who crafted a full graphic novel that will accompany the album upon release.
New Gods, New Masters was produced by Davidson and mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren (The Haunted, Spiritbox), New Gods, New Masters features guest spots from Jonny Davy (Job For A Cowboy), Travis Ryan (Cattle Decapitation), Luc Lemay (Gorguts), and jazz guitarist Gilad Hekselman. Artwork is handled by Paolo Girardi (Cryptopsy, Bell Witch).
