Technical Death Metal act, Revocation will release new album "New Gods, New Masters" on September 26 through Metal Blade Records. The sleeve artwork was illustrator by Italian maestro, Paolo Girardi.
"The cover art was inspired by the lyrics for our new album," comments vocalist/guitarist, Dave Davidson. "I wanted to depict a dystopian techno nightmare where an AI god is being summoned and birthed from an abyss of wires and teeth. I gave Paolo a very rudimentary sketch and he absolutely ran wild with it. Paolo started with a quick sketch with pencil and then moved onto oil on cardboard. The final product exceeded my expectations in every way."
Previous to this project, Revocation and Girardi had worked together in the creation of the cover of the record, "Netherheaven" (2022). "I knew I wanted to collaborate with him again because the last one came out so great," Davidson says. "He really lives for his art and I love working with people that are truly dedicated to the craft and are excited about the work they do."
