Notes
Formed almost 20 years ago, Evoken are one of the godfathers of epic funeral / death doom metal and among the first American bands to adopt the style, being influenced by the likes of Thergothon, Disembowelment and the early years of Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride. Between 1998 and 2007, they released four albums, all considered milestones in the genre. Now, five years since their last full-length, the band triumphantly returns with Atra Mors, their most powerful work yet. In true Evoken tradition, the album is a step forward from it's predecessor, adding old school death metal elements and incorporating some of the mellowest, most searing moments in their illustrious repertoire. An atmospheric masterpiece, Atra Mors is a crowning achievement that will once again earn one of America's doom metal forefathers a rightful place on the throne.
