The beginning of the end (1991-1992)
Marko, Thomas and the Kenttäkumpu brothers, all originating from Borås, formed the Swedish death metal band EVOCATION in the fall of 1991. In 1992 two demos were recorded. The first one was produced by Tomas Skogsberg in Sunlight Studio and resulted in a three track and intro demo limited to 500 copies titled ”The Ancient Gate”. Skogsberg also wrote a letter of recommendation and promoted EVOCATION to the major death metal labels at that time (CENTURY MEDIA, EARACHE, NUCLEAR BLAST etc.) and later in an interview he named EVOCATION as “the best demo band he ever had recorded”. Previous to the second recording bass player Christian “Kricke” Saarinen, from Cemetary (BLACK MARK), reinforced the EVOCATION line-up. After the recordings EVOCATION did gigs with bands such as Ceremonial Oath, Dark Tranquillity, Dismember, Liers in Wait and Master.

In death’s sleep (1993-2000)
At the end of 1992 EVOCATION was considered as one of the most interesting death metal acts from Sweden, with a unique mix of the Gothenburg and Stockholm death metal sound. Despite the fact that several major labels contacted the band, EVOCATION was put on ice in the autumn of 1993 due to musical differences. From 1993, members of EVOCATION have been involved in various projects such as Cemetary/Sundown (BLACK MARK/CENTURY MEDIA) and Lake of Tears (DOCKYARD 1).
