Revocation’s History Worth Celebrating

You know that you have a history worth celebrating when there’s the demand to circle back and rerelease one of your old albums. Boston, MA’s Revocation is in that position now.

The band’s origins run back to 2000 when they started out under a different name. A few years later, they started up as Revocation, self-releasing Empire of the Obscene in 2008.
That’s the record they’re getting the opportunity to rerelease now, with their current label Metal Blade Records.

It’s an opportunity for the group to reappraise its roots, an interesting situation for a band who’ve always managed to keep their style of metal fresh. Listening to their most recent, 2014’s Deathless, you hear just that, a group in touch with the endless complexity and skill of technical metal as well as the intensity of death metal.

Revocation are in the Exchange on Friday, September 25 with Cannabis Corpse, Archspire, and Black Fast. Advance tickets are $20 plus service charges and are available at Vintage Vinyl, Madame Yes, and online at TicketEdge. Tickets available at the door barring a sell-out. All ages and licensed.
