Relapse Records has announced the signing of the Boston-based metal band Revocation. The group is currently recording its second full-length album, "Existence Is Futile", at Damage Studios in Southbridge, Massachusetts with Pete Rutcho for a fall 2009 release.
Commented Revocation guitarist/vocalist David Davidson: "After several years of hard work and determination, we're glad to announce that we have signed to Relapse. We are all really excited to be working with Relapse to release our new record, 'Existence is Futile'. We've once again chosen Pete Rutcho from Damage Studios to record this album and are wrapping up the vocals now. The material is really varied, ranging from very epic to an all-out metal assault and we can't wait for people to hear it!"
Revocation's debut album, "Empire Of The Obscene", came out last spring.
The band has a number of regional shows lined up, including a performance at the Relapse Contamination Tour stop in Boston on May 10. The group will also take part in a mini-tour in June alongside Quo Vadis and Dark Faith.

wow, congratulations to all the Revo guys. Seriously, I can't think of another local band that deserves this more then Revocation, especally after dropping an album like Empire Of The Obscene as their debut BY THEMSELVES.

at least one of them has to have a cover where a giant robot is picking you up and looking remorseful, like News of the World

The best part of this is that they got signed with Dave on vocals - when for years people said he wasn't good enough blah blah bullshit bullshit and people said they had to find a vocalist etc...fuck them... these guys made it on their own and didn't listen to the bullshit that drags local bands down...they worked very hard...I'm very proud this was finally announced, even though I've known about it for months because their producer has a big mouth ha ha - for me, they'll always be Cryptic Warning, I don't know why they changed the name, but this is awesome in any case.I hope Snakestrike and Chainsaw Sacrifice Ritual are bonus tracks on the new cd
[May 7,2009 1:34pm - i_am_not_me ""]
I always thought it was Dave himself that thought he wasn't good enough or whatever. I didn't think there was any outside criticism. If there was I'm completely oblivious.
[May 7,2009 1:39pm - dreadkill ""]
yeah, i thought dave wanted to get a vocalist. i never heard anyone saying they should. i always told them they should stick with dave on vocals and i was happy when they decided to do that.

We had a vocalist for a while, John Farley from Abhorred. And we absolutely destroyed with him on vocals. We practiced together for like 5-6 months and then he just didn't want to do it anymore. After that we gave up on having a vocalist. Us + John was a fucking force to be reckoned with though.

I remember a couple of people sayin stuff about the vocals after a cryptic warning show, but not since they were revocation. It's probably the same dicks who still criticize them though. Anyway, good for them.
[May 7,2009 5:08pm - rbss ""]
Our vocals haven't always been perfect, but you also have to keep in mind that we've been playing out since we were like 15-16 and we were learning a lot as we went along. Both Dave and I have improved so much as vocalists through the years and we will continue to get better. Some people may not like the vocals but you can't please everyone.
[May 7,2009 5:37pm - sinistas ""]
I think the vocals are perfect for the music. :radio:

Yeah, I'm definitely glad I wussed out on auditioning....or got swamped with hours, or had my car break down...or whatever the fuck stopped me. I mean, I wouldn't have gotten the gig anyway. But still. Things is best the way they is.

Crushing blow to cranium, he chops the bodies with an axe.
Put the bodies on a meat hook then proceed to slash and hack.
Decapitate them with a chainsaw, chop up all the limbs with knives
Demented chainsaw wielding killer, he will fucking end your life.
Deranged mentality, you will never get away
Screaming for mercy, there's nothing you can do or say
He's sharpening his axe, prepare for your final breath
Now you're in his grasp, soon you're gonna meet your death.
Helpless victims all succumb to his unrelenting attack
He puts the decomposing heads and torsos into a large sack
His twisted thoughts will always haunt his mind, will never be set free
He's tortured by his lust for death and twisted childhood memories.

My roomates band was on relapse for a while and it didn't go so well for them because they had suffocation and mastodon on the label at the same time. But seeing as that is no longer the case for either of those bands, and you guys are extremely good, you should be fine. Just get a lawyer for any contract stuff.
