Evoken - Antithesis Of Light

MONUMENTAL THIRD ALBUM FROM 2005 OF FUNERAL DOOM PERFECTION FROM EVOKEN

Evoken is a funeral doom metal band from New Jersey USA, & were among the first wave of US doom/death bands, along with November�s Doom. The band�s style draws comparisons to acts such as early My Dying Bride & also Finnish band Thergothon - the name Evoken was even taken from an old Thergothon demo track. The band was founded by guitarist Nick Orlando under the name Funereus in April 1992 & eventually changed to Evoken in 1994 after several line-up changes.

�Antithesis of Light�, the band�s third studio album, was recorded at Hermit Hole in New Jersey with Bumblefoot (of Guns N Roses fame). It was originally released in 2005 & continues with Evoken�s trademark funeral doom sound; a thick wall of pounding guitar riffs, assisted by layers of keyboard effects to heighten the overall dark ambience of this doom /death metal classic.

This edition of �Antithesis of Light� is presented on the vinyl format for the first time, with gatefold sleeve. The release contains an extra unreleased song from Evoken�s 2002 promo.
