Revocation have shared an official video for their new song “Cronenberged.” The track, which features Job For A Cowboy’s Jonny Davy, is from the group's new album, “New Gods, New Masters,” which will be available on September 26. Frontman Dave Davidson said the following about the single:
“I’m a massive sci-fi horror fan and love the body horror genre that David Cronenberg helped to create so this is my homage to that. Also, shout out to ‘Rick And Morty’ for inspiring the song title.
The video for ‘Cronenberged’ features tons of gore and practical effects. It was so fun to create a little mini sci-fi horror movie for this track. Getting to transform into a hideous tentacle monster was a real treat. I knew things were going well when the My Good Eye film crew were gagging at how gross it was off screen.”
He also added the following about the album, which focuses on “humans’ need to worship various gods”:
“It seems as if that desire is encoded in our DNA. As science and our understanding of nature and the universe as a whole increases, the religions of the old gods start to become obsolete. However, I believe we’ve replaced our old gods with new ones, worshipping technology and creating a cult-like idolatry of innovators. I’ve been very fascinated with the development of Artificial Intelligence, and I’m deeply concerned where this could lead humanity whether it’s the slow march towards a technological dystopia or the all-out annihilation of our species.“
