EVOKE THY LORDS IS A SIBERIAN BAND WHICH MUSIC GENRE IS DIFFICULT
TO DEFINE. HOWEVER, WHATEVER MUSIC THEY MAKE THEY HAVE THEIR OWN
CREATIVE APPROACH. HAVING STARTED IN 2002 AND DEBUTED JUST IN 2008
WITH THE ESCAPE TO THE DREAMLANDS ALBUM THEY MIXED DOOM/DEATH METAL,
MELODIC DEATH METAL, SYMPHONIC PARTS OF KEYS AND FLUTE FOLK-ISH
INFLUENCE, THEY MADE THEIR OWN ORIGINAL SOUND AND SHOWED THAT THE
BAND HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BE A FORCE WITHIN THE UNDERGROUND SCENE.
BUT THAT WAS ONLY A STARTING POINT OF EVOKE THY LORDS, AND NOW THE
BAND HAS RELEASED THEIR SECOND CD - AN EP THAT IS A SPLIT, NAMED
TWOFACED, WITH THE RIDERS ON THE BONES PROJECT. ON THIS RELEASE WE
HAVE A MIDDLE-TEMPO MUSIC IN VEIN OF MELODIC DOOM/DEATH METAL ROOTED
TO 90'S. BUT THE BAND KEEPS PLAYING THEIR OWN MUSIC GENRE. THE
GUITAR SOUND IS LOWER AND MUSIC IS HEAVIER THAN ON THE DEBUT BUT
MORE ATMOSPHERIC AS WELL. AT THE SAME TIME ON THE RELEASE THERE ARE
BOTH METAL SONGS AND LIQUID FOLK-LIKE INSTRUMENTAL COMPOSITIONS.
ALTHOUGH EVOKE THY LORDS HAVE RELEASED EP RECENTLY THEY ARE IN THE
STUDIO AGAIN AND IN FACT NOBODY KNOWS WHAT KIND OF MUSIC THEY ARE
GOING TO PRESENT THEIR LISTENERS. IT'S KNOWN TO BE SOMETHING AMAZING
AND MUCH DIFFERENT FROM ALL THEIR PREVIOUS RELEASES.
2008 - Escape to the Dreamlands (Stygian
Crypt /
Backfire Prod.)
2009 - Twofaced (split EP with Riders on the Bones) (American
Line Prods)
"Adventure metal-symbiosis of different styles in ethnic and metal
music. Mantras and chanting, histories which are bringing beauty of
ancient cultures and inspirations of human-its all about this album.
In "Gambling with Hades" musicians shows melodism and conception,
its best sequence of Opeth's psychedelic, Katatonia's pain, relax of
Empyrean, tragic of Tenhi, death and power of Dan Swano's Moontower
with eastern arabic directions."
2009 - Gambling with Hades
