New Gods, New Masters is the ninth studio album by American technical death metal band Revocation. It was released on September 26, 2025, via Metal Blade in vinyl and digital formats. [2] New Gods, New Masters is band's first album to feature guitarist Harry Lannon and bassist Alex Weber.
The album was produced by the band's vocalist David Davidson and mixed by Jens Bogren, who also mixed it. [3] It includes collaborations with Cattle Decapitation vocalist Travis Ryan, and Job for a Cowboy singer Jonny Davy, Gorguts vocalist Luc Lemay, and Gilad Hekselman. [3]
The title of the album was inspired by Davidson's perspective on spirituality. He stated, "I believe we've replaced our old gods with new ones, worshipping technology and creating a cult-like idolatry of innovators," noting uncertainty over the fate of humanity due to the emergence of AI. [2] "Cronenberged" was released as the lead single on June 18, 2025. [3]

Blabbermouth 's Dom Lawson described it as "lyrically ferocious and intelligent", stating "New Gods, New Masters sustains the momentum that has propelled them through two decades of rabid service. Having taken no prisoners in the past," rating it 8.5. [5] Metal.de editor Jannik Kleemann referred to the album as "a cleanly produced, convincing work without any significant weaknesses." [1]
