Netherheaven is the eighth studio album by American technical death metal band Revocation, released on September 09, 2022, via Metal Blade.[8] It is the band's first album not to feature rhythm guitarist Dan Gargiulo after his departure in June 2020[9] and final album to feature bassist Brett Bamberger.

"Re-Crucified" features guest vocal appearances from the late Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder and George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher of Cannibal Corpse.[10] Frontman David Davidson stated, "My whole idea of having two guest vocalists was inspired by Dante's Inferno. I wanted it to feel like the journey through the different circles of hell and the interactions with different demons and apparitions. Trevor's theatrical style added a great narrative and Corpsegrinder is just a powerhouse. It’s not often you get two icons on one track."[11]

Revocation promoted the album with a European tour in January and February 2023, with support from Goatwhore, Alluvial, and Creeping Death.[12]
