Melancholic ,Majestic and beautiful...all i can say about this album. What makes Evoken so especial is the authenticity of their music,words and themes. It might seem weird but i'm sure the band follows a keen interest in humanism. I watched the official video-clip for "In pestilence,Burning".The first time, i couldn't stand more than a minute of it ,scenes of Auschwitz extermination camp,the crematorium in the main Auschwitz camp,the ovens...
This music is about pain, about solitude ,despair, and i want to say it's mostly about human .Evoken follows splendid concerns ,sagely dissects the issues as it reflects in lyrics.
Quiets was a notable step forward for doom metal genre,with keyboard beautifully integrated with the whole dynamics of doom music,added a novel dimension to the genre and deepened the somber sound.
Added to this the crushing riffs ,excellent production and specifically i want to pay tribute to the most gifted singer John Paradiso.Paradiso manages to carry the burden of gloomy theme and complex senses of horror and melancholy .An unbelievable mix of desperate growls and melancholic whispers makes a favorable outcome. During my internship at Imam hospital i stayed wide awaken with Evoken music and the music convey the essence of the period most perfectly.
Evoken music is something special,for special tastes.Certainly not recommended to those who prefer to follow the popular trend of skating on the surface.
