Dave Davidson Of Revocation Talks New Album, Shred And Lovecraft


David Davidson of Revocation is one of our favorite people in all of metal. We have followed his entire career, and you will be hard pressed to find a person this talented that is also humble and cool. We caught up with Dave at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, New York to chat with him about the brand new album The Outer Ones, releasing from Metal Blade Records on September 28th.

These are classic records that really stood the test of time, not only the songs themselves, but the performances of the records, and for me that’s really important.”
