Doom and Darkness

Track 1 from the self-titled album "Reclusiam" (2004)

Parasellar

Evoken is a funeral doom metal band from New Jersey USA. 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 & along with Rob (Bass/Vocals); Phil (Guitar) & Vince (Drums), they recorded what would be the only Funereus release, a rehearsal demo. The band eventually changed to Evoken in 1994 after several line-up changes. 

‘Quietus’ was Evoken’s second full-length studio album. It was originally released in 2001 & was recorded at WAVE Studios in New York during October & November of 1999. Evoken have become known for their thick walls of apocalyptic guitar on long epic tracks featuring strong, dark atmospherics, with ‘Quietus’ being a classic example of funeral doom metal honed to perfection, becoming a cult hit with fans worldwide. 

This edition of ‘Quietus’ includes the extremely rare 1992 rehearsal recording from when the band was known as Funereus - the song having never been recorded for any official release. Also included is another rare track, an instrumental originally from 2004.

Lyrics:

Verse
A burning within
Writhing beneath my skin
Undoing my fragile mind
As man and god entwines.

Bridge
I am the maddening voice
I am the tyrant's rejoice
I am the burden uncarried
I am the adversary

Break
Abrubtly stifling my will
to reach enlightenment
An insidious presense
Malignantly manipulates
perspectives of humanity.

Chorus
Vastly apathetic,
empty lives.
To be their salvation,
to undo lies.
Epitome of freedom,
nihilistic morality.
A voice of the inner god,
embracing immortality.

03 Hope And Despair
