They are sooo similar to At the Gates... that is good!!! Next week i'm gonna see them with opening for Black Dahlia Murder and Amon Amarth... really good supporting band!
I'm quite glad I didn't hear this song for the first time while driving. There would have been a 50 car pileup (i'm estimating) followed by the biggest mosh pit in history.
@xXRandallxRemorseXx I do not want to be rude but you don´t know much about extreme metal music do you?
It is not the vocals that determined what kind of music a band are playing and high pitch growls (or grims as we call it over here when it deals with Black Metal) are not reserved for Black Metal only. Ever heard of Melodic Death Metal? Even though sounds wise Evocation sounds more similar too the old school Stockholm Death Metal scene did back in the golden years.
@Mythification i Can't Help That The Vocals Remind Me of Some Epic Black Metal, I Am Aware That Black Metal Doesn't Own Any Sort of Vocal Style Nor Does Any Genre Really, I Wasn't Trying to Convince Anyone that They should or should not be a black metal band, rather just claiming that i Think it would be cool if they were, Thanks For Your Input Tho
Ok, I am going to clear up alot of the misinformation in these comments about evocations influences. First off, they are not influenced by trivium, you'd have to half deaf to think this, it's not blatant at the gates worship and finally, they are not new.
Evocation formed in 1991, one year after at the gates, they were at the start of the Gotthenberg death metal scene and have been one of the major influences on a lot of modern melodic death metal.acts.
I don't even care if this is blatant At The Gates worship, this is what we NEED in modern metal. Tell me, would you rather listen to this or some shitty deathcore band?? You can't go wrong with a classic sound like this.
The tone has the classic At the gates/Carcass feel to it. This sounds really melodic and oldschool if you ask me, which is pretty cool!! I'm a little tired of the 300bpm bands, they can sound somewhat the same.
@Thetruthinall Basically just picking up where At the Gates left with Slaughter of the Soul. I was slightly disappointed with Apocalyptic (not that its a bad album at all) due to having such high expectations after Dead Calm Chaos. I agree with you about 300 bpm bands, its just shame theres not much of a market for melodic death metal anymore.
Just heard of these dudes by clicking the video by accident. Really happy accident.
