Description

China press on double album on clear and black splatter vinyl with gatefold cover. Limited 100 copies

Hong Kong death metal act Evocation was formed back in 2002 and even though they have had a loyal fan base in their homecountry they really started to gain attention abroad with their second album Abracadabra in 2013. That album was well received and even got them booked on the Wacken Open Air Festival in 2014. Their third album Libation was released in 2018 and its an album that takes a lot of twists and turns. The band shows alot of creativity and alot of heart. It opens with the title track that sets the tone for the album very nicely. On the track, various stringed instruments and percussion play chaotically over sound effects that call to mind a horror movie opening. The instruments get gradually more frantic before finally fading out. With that out of the way, the death metal is allowed to begin. The second track, Karma, is a little slow and heavy and gives you the same vibe as Satanist-era Behemoth or the most recent releases from Belphegor It’s eerie and atmospheric, but not in the same way as a lot of metal subgenres that often get described as atmospheric; it’s less of a gloomy fog and more of a furious hurricane. This is immediately followed by Sky Burial, which retains a tiny bit of that same atmosphere but is overall a much faster iteration of Evocation’s sound. This track is probably more representative of the album is a whole. The album si full of interesting and innovative moments, to be sure, but for the most part it’s just a very solid blackened death metal album. Personally, that’s all I need.
