A tech-death feast at Futurum! Revocation are celebrating 20 years on the scene and will bring their new album New Gods, New Masters to Prague on April 18, warning of the dangers of a cult of technology. Joining them will be German masters Defeated Sanity, French visionaries Gorod and ferocious Swedish outfit Carnosus. Get ready for a massive showcase of surgically precise riffs!

Boston stalwarts Revocation are celebrating two decades on the scene and are coming in full force to present their latest album, New Gods, New Masters – their fifth release under the Metal Blade Records banner. Across its nine tracks, the band's mastermind, guitarist and vocalist Dave Davidson, warns of a dystopian future in which humanity has replaced its old deities with a blind cult of innovators and artificial intelligence. While their acclaimed previous album, Netherheaven (2022), set the bar incredibly high, the new record takes things even further, delivering a sharper and more focused approach both musically and lyrically. The band have also benefited from fresh blood in the lineup, with guitarist Harry Lannon and bassist Alex Weber bringing a new level of intensity to their technical death/thrash alongside the precision of drummer Ash Pearson, both in the studio and on stage.

German outfit Defeated Sanity embody absolute musical brutality combined with mathematical precision. Led by drummer Lille Gruber, the band have been confidently fusing uncompromising brutal death metal with jazz-inspired polyrhythms and mind-bending structures since the turn of the millennium. Their sound on landmark records such as Passages into Deformity resembles a crushing industrial press operating with clockwork precision. For fans of extreme music, their performances represent progression pushed to its absolute limits without sacrificing an ounce of individuality.

Hailing from Bordeaux, France, Gorod have long been regarded as one of the defining pillars of technical death metal. Their work on albums such as A Maze of Recycled Creeds and The Orb is characterized by intricate, highly infectious grooves wrapped in wildly complex yet remarkably effective melodies. Gorod continue to prove that even within the strictest boundaries of death metal, there is plenty of room for technical playfulness and a distinctive avant-garde sense of freedom.

Completing the lineup are Swedish Carnosus, one of the most promising names in contemporary technical melodic death metal, whose reputation is steadily growing throughout the underground scene. Their sound, showcased on the acclaimed album Visions of Infinihility, is built on uncompromisingly fast riffs and highly versatile vocals that effortlessly shift between deep growls and piercing shrieks. Their set promises unfiltered energy and relentless forward momentum, setting the entire April evening in Smíchov off with a bang.
