Netherheaven is flawless in execution and doesn’t even come close to becoming remotely predictable. The Outer Ones ventured deeper into the realms of death metal but this release has undoubtedly perfected their approach.

Revocation knows just when to throw in a flashy guitar solo or other captivating surprise to change things up. Expect some thrash and melodic influences as well.

Netherheaven finds Revocation doubling down on their most ferocious elements. The band achieved impressive levels of power after recording as a three-piece for the first time in 13 years, while maintaining their tech-metal prestige.

new Revocation countdown deep dive (9/10):
so, Revocation is releasing a new album on 26.09 and I've thought that it would be cool if I reviewed every release of theirs one per day, thus the deep dive would end perfectly with me listening to New Gods, New Masters on its release date.
Anyway, let's get to reviewing. This is a perfect follow up to their last record, another very good release in their catalogue. The Trevor Strand (RIP) and Corpsegrinder feature was also pretty cool
once again Revocation delivers a very good tech death album. some interesting ideas on this thing, the execution is great. crisp clean production only helps with that
