“An awesome guitarist and songwriter…He is carrying the flag of metal.”

— Marty Friedman

“Davidson is not a unitask guitarist; he doesn’t have just one exceptionally sharp blade, but many… He comes from the Skolnick/Friedman school of leads where speed is a given, and the focus is on tone and phrasing. Davidson’s tone is sweet, and his phrasing is bold. He bends, he flies, he digs hard and low.”

— Stereogum

“Revocation have crafted guitar solos that are both unusual and instantly appealing.”

— Guitar World Magazine

“Revocation has risen to the top of modern metal’s heap.”

— New Noise Magazine

“All heavy metal guitar playing up until now has been leading up to the existence of David Davidson… David Davidson is modern metal guitar.”

“It's quite clear this Metal Blade band has "arrived" and with each release, they continue to impress, and challenge the norms of metal.”

— MetalInjection.net

“As if it was ever in any doubt REVOCATION have once again delivered another slab of phenomenal instrumentation. As their previous material has also been of such strong construction it is difficult to gauge where The Outer Ones sits in contention amongst the ranks but is most certainly up there as one of the most experimental and fearless offerings that the band have created.”

— Distorted Sound Magazine

“…an unrelenting onslaught of technically flawless metal. Displaying a level of musicianship that will leave you dizzy trying to keep up with it, Revocation are simply unstoppable on this album.”
