EVOCATION (Swe) – ‘Tales from the Tomb’ CD

“Tales from the Tomb was an eye-opening, excellent debut from this Swedish band. Combining the raw death metal of countrymen Dismember, Entombed and At the Gates with a more melodic, simplistic edge, they stand out among even their present peers like Bloodbath. Not quite a ‘retro’ band but adapting this genre into something of their own. The melodic elements to the band may slightly reflect some of the members’ earlier moments in Cemetary, an obscure comparison but effective none the less.”
