Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

Crushingly heavy death/doom Submitted on: 2006-07-12 |
|
| Not many bands can play doom music as good as Evoken can and this album proves it. From the mindblowing beginning with "In Pestilence Burning" to the hauntingly heavy atmosphere of "Where Ghosts Fall Silent" this album is filled with great moments. As a matter of fact there isn't a bad moment throughout the whole album. Seriously now if you're looking for the one doom metal album to get you into the genre, this is it! Very highly recommended! |

One of the best death/doom bands Submitted on: 2006-04-25 |

| If you have any interest in doom metal at all, this is one of those cds that you really must get. Every song on here is crushing, bleak, heavy, and slow yet beautiful at the same time. Quietus is one of the best examples of the genre and if you are into death metal but haven't experienced any death/doom or funeral doom bands give this a try. I advise you to stay open minded though as I know many people who just can't get into these kind of bands because the music is just too slow for them. Anyway this is one of those cds where you can listen and just become engulfed in the music. Every song on here is good but if I can't listen to the whole album at a time I usually end up listening to In Pestilence, Burning or Quietus the most. Also this is supposedly their best cd although I have yet to hear the others so I can't fully comment on that yet. |

Evoken are, without a doubt, the heaviest and slowest band out there. They are the epitome of funeral metal, following and perfecting the legacy of dISEMBOWELMENT, the creators of this genre. Spectral death metal vox, crushingly slow guitars, and pounding drums with copious amounts of reverb on everything combine to create an experience that transcends the inner being. Sorry to get all poetic about it, but listening to Evoken really does create an enlightened feeling.
Similar bands include Shape of Despair, Mournful Congregation, and Remembrance, to name a few. Also, Evoken has a newer album called "Antithesis of Light." It is another must-have for funeral metal lovers. I ordered it through CMDISTRO for around $12. |

This is good stuff... Submitted on: 2005-01-31 |

| for dark, depressing nights. Consider yourself warned: YES, THIS ALBUM DOES HAVE A STEADY SLOW BEAT THROUGH THE ENTIRE ALBUM! But that's the point of it! It's funeral/doom, and it's for sitting back and thinking of all of the reasons life isn't worth living. So if you aren't into this sort of thing, then don't buy it. Otherwise, this album is for you! (Unless of course you have suicidal tendencies, in which case, you may want to pass it up...) |
