Die Bostoner Death Maschine REVOCATION plant die Veröffentlichung ihres siebten Albums “Netherheaven“ auf dem das Trio gewohnt heftig zur Sache geht. Etzt stremen sie den Abschlußtrack des Albums, auf dem noch der im Mai verstorbene Shouter von The Black Dahlia Murder, Trevor Strnad zu hören ist. Die Nachricht seines Todes erreichte die Band direkt nach Abschluss der Aufnahmen für `Re-Crucified`.

Dave Davidson erklärt:

„Normally we tend to close our albums with a more epic style of song, but with this record, I wanted to go in the opposite direction and end with a complete ripper. Inspired by ‚Dante’s Inferno‘, this song is meant to feel like a journey through hell, and due to the story-like nature of the lyrics, I enlisted the vocal talents of Trevor Strnad and George ‚Corpsegrinder‘ Fisher to aid in our journey into the abyss. Tragically, I received word of Trevor’s passing immediately after we had finished filming the music videos for ‚Netherheaven‘, and I was completely devastated by the news. Trevor was a close, personal friend of mine, and his passing was a terrible loss, not only for myself, but for the entire metal community. I’m proud that I could be a part of Trevor’s immense and storied legacy in some small way. His performance along with George’s are two of the highlights of the record for me. Rest in power Trevor, you will be sorely missed but your legacy will never die.“

Lyrics:

Refused at the gates banished to the underworld

My only crime? A denial of Christ

Descending into this fiery pit of thriving chaos

Through arcane portals I enter pandemonium

Surrounded by corpses of souls and the ashes of angels

My igneous guide escorts me through the inferno

The burning stench of tainted flesh fills the acrid air

As we journey onward through the circles of hell

 

This woeful forest moans as branches break like necks beneath our feet

A brood of harpies nesting in these rotted trees

Their talons scratch and claw at the spirits of the oak

Beyond the wood we travel further onto planes of blood and smoke

Inverted crosses litter the horizon

Sinners lashed by devil whips and speared in their sides

Demonic hammers driving infernal nails into the souls of the re-crucified

 

Vile wings beat these frozen winds

Encased in ice

Prisoners of the 9th chasm

Behold the 3 faces of the inverted trinity

I, the abyssal god

The beast of black infinity
