Description

Guitars tuned in B-flat since 1991 is a phrase Evocation guitarist Marko Palmen uses to illustrate his bands place in the bygone times of Swedish death metal. Hes not bragging but merely stating a fact. Evocation was there when it mattered. Sure, the Swedes have had a bifurcated existence fizzling in 1993 but officially reanimating in 2005 but as the saying goes, what does kill death metal only makes it stronger. In fact, few bands have ever come back to plague the denizens of death metal quite like Evocation. The bands fifth bewilderingly barbarous album Illusions Of Grandeur follows predecessor Apocalyptic and tracks like the ultra-catchy Divide and Conquer, the galloping Perception of Reality, and the brilliantly penned The Seven Faces of God distil the groups strongest attributes melodies, groove, hooks, and brutality into a formidable melody enhanced death metal attack. Illusions of Grandeur also marks debut of bassist Gustaf Jorde (from Defleshed), who replaced Martin Toresson earlier in 2012. Illusions Of Grandeur was recorded, mixed and produced at IF Studios and Evocation Studios by Roberto Laghi (In Flames) and Evocation respectively, Illusions of Grandeur is yet another brilliant example of Evocation spit-polishing Swedish death metal with blood, sweat, and determination. The mighty Johan Hegg from Amon Amarth does a guest roar on Into Submission. Trust guitarist Marko Palmen when he states: I think the new album is the one which comes closest to the essence of what Evocation really is.
