History Music / Revocation

* GenreRoulette: ''Existence'' had elements of this, but ''Chaos'' really brought this out. You have straightforward technical death ("Cretin", "Beloved Horrifier", "Reprogrammed"), progressive death ("Dissolution Ritual", "Conjuring the Cataclysm", the title track, "The Watchers"), a straightforward death/thrash track ("Harlot"), a heavily power metal-influenced song ("Cradle Robber"), a Megadeth-esque technical thrash song ("No Funeral"), something that could've been a lost Coroner track ("Dethroned"), and a math-influenced technical instrumental ("Fractal Entity").

* LeadBassist: Both of their bassists have qualified for Type B and C, being both frequent songwriters and backing vocalists. They're also quite skilled from a technical standpoint, but unlike most tech-death acts, there isn't a particularly large emphasis placed on the bass-work.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Hard 9 for the most part, 10 on the heavier songs.
* MelodicDeathMetal

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: As the years have gone on, they've thrown in tons and tons of genres and made them work. In addition to death and thrash, they've used fusion, blues-rock, Southern rock, funk, surf, post-metal, first-wave metalcore, 80s shred, 70s hard rock, progressive rock, bluegrass, and even some Tower of Power-esque horn sections.

* ThrashMetal: Despite being labelled as this, they aren't overly thrashy. It certainly does factor into their sound, however.

* CoverVersion: "Death in Vain" (Exhorder), "[[Music/{{Death}} Pull the Plug]]", "[[Music/FaithNoMore Surprise! You're Dead!]]", and "[[Music/{{Metallica}} Dyers Eve]]".

* EpicRocking: "Exhumed Identity", "Suffer These Wounds", and "Tragedy of Modern Ages".

* MetalBandMascot: Unofficially, there's Hoss the [[GagPenis giant dildo]], the likes of which is primarily used for pranks on other musicians.

* [[FiveManBand Four Man Band]]:
** TheLeader: Dave
** TheLancer: Phil
** TheBigGuy: Dan
** TheSmartGuy: Brett

In August 2013, the band released their [[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled]] fourth album, and have recently signed with Metal Blade and are already working on a followup.

!!EPs/Demos:

* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Phil's playing style is quite energetic, but he's widely known for his offstage antics.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: As the years have gone on, they've thrown in tons and tons of genres and made them work. In addition to death and thrash, they've used fusion, blues-rock, Southern rock, funk, surf, post-metal, first-wave metalcore, 80s shred, 70s hard rock, progressive rock, bluegrass, and even some Tower of Power-esque horn sections. And it's great.

Revocation is an American technical/melodic death metal band. Characterized by their [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly highly eclectic]] sound that combines elements of countless metal and non-metal genres, as well as frontman David Davidson's unique, versatile guitar style, Revocation has made a tremendous rise in a short period of time, having netted a lucrative contract with heavyweight metal label Relapse Records, as well as embarking on numerous high-profile tours, and it doesn't look as if they're going to stop any time soon.
