Biography
The Swedish Death Metal band EVOCATION was formed in the autumn of 1991 in Borås by Thomas Josefsson - bass, Jani Karvola – vocals, Marko Palmén - guitar and the two brothers Janne K. Bodén - drums & Vesa Kenttäkumpu - guitar. A few months later EVOCATION parted ways with the vocalist Jani Karvola. Thomas filled the empty spot as vocalist but also left the bass playing in EVOCATION. In 1992 two demos were recorded. The first one was recorded in Sunlight Studio with demon-producer Tomas Skogsberg behind the wheels. It resulted in a three track and intro demo limited to 500 copies titled “The Ancient Gate”. Later in an interview Skogsberg named EVOCATION as “the best demo band he ever had recorded”. Previous to the second recording Christian “Kricke” Saarinen, reinforced the EVOCATION line-up as bass player. The second demo contained four tracks and was recorded in a local studio. Later on both demos gathered cult status within tape trader communities and are nowadays considered as true gems from the early years of the Swedish Death Metal scene. After the recordings EVOCATION did shows with nowadays legendary Death Metal outfits such as Ceremonial Oath, Dark Tranquillity, Dismember, Liers in Wait etc.

I love your old stuff, the new album for me is a way too melodic and not Evocation anymore... a pity

The new album sounds very "clean" compared with the old ones, but it's still real good.

Yeah, the latest album do share some influences with Amon Amarth. I actually saw this band and The Black Dahlia Murder when I saw Amon Amarth once.

The only complaint I have with this new album is that it sounds a little "too clean" for old school death metal. Anyway, it's a killer release. Hope they'll finally get the recognization they deserve with it.

Can't complain though. Can be much worse than resembling one of the greatest bands of all time.
