Evocation (band)

Later on, both demos gathered cult status within tape trader communities and are now considered true gems from the early years of the Swedish Death Metal scene.

After the recordings, Evocation played shows with other death metal bands such as Ceremonial Oath, Dark Tranquillity, Dismember, and Liars in Wait.

[1] In the beginning of 1993, Evocation had gained a reputation as a ferocious live band and was considered to be one of the most interesting death metal acts from Sweden.

In 2001, the band was contacted by Breath of Night Records, and in November 2004, Evocation reformed and the two demos were released worldwide as a full length, self-titled compilation.

Tales from the Tomb earned massive appraisal all over Europe and was also voted as the 4th "Best album of the year" in 2007 by all journalists of Metal Hammer Germany.

Dead Calm Chaos saw guest appearances of Anders Björler, from At The Gates and The Haunted, and Dan Swanö from Bloodbath and Edge of Sanity.

The album was hailed all over Europe and earned the number 1 position on sound checks in Germany (Legacy Mag) and Sweden (Close-Up).
