Revocation are returning to Europe to celebrate 20 years of activity! They will be joined at Rude Boy in Bielsko-Biała on April 17th by Defeated Sanity, who will perform “Psalms of the Moribund” in its entirety, as well as Gorod and Carnosus.

Revocation are a Boston-based band combining technical death metal with thrash influences. They formed in 2006 following the dissolution of Cryptic Warning, with the aim of pursuing a more focused musical vision. Needless to say, the plan worked out perfectly: over nearly two decades, the Americans have released nine albums, each impressively balancing precision and virtuosity with sheer heaviness. Their latest effort, “New Gods, New Masters”, came out in September 2025 via Metal Blade Records.
Defeated Sanity are one of the bands that helped shape technical brutal death metal. Formed in 1993, the group built their fractured riffs around insane, relentless tempos, while also weaving in influences from progressive music and jazz. They are one of those bands who seem to spend almost all their time on the road. Does that ever get in the way? Hardly, because Defeated Sanity never disappoints. Whether live or on record, they consistently deliver at the highest level.
Gorod is undoubtedly one of the most important representatives of France’s progressive and technical death metal scene. The band formed in 1997 under the name Gorgasm and have been operating as Gorod since 2005. Their blend of technical death metal classics with the freedom of ’70s jazz, funk and rock makes them one of the most intriguing acts in their field, something you can hear on their latest album to date, “The Ember Gone”, released in August this year.
The show will open with Swedish outfit Carnosus. Their members come from different corners of the metal scene, and that diversity is reflected in the band’s music. Melodic death metal provides the foundation, but the Örebro quintet also brings in thrash, progressive and even black metal influences.
