Evoken is an American funeral doom/death metal band that is inspired by the Australian band Disembowelment and the Finnish band Thergothon[1][2]. The band name Evoken was taken from the Thergothon song found on the Fhtagn nagh Yog-Sothoth demo. The band was founded by guitarist Nick Orlando under the name Funereus in April of 1992. After another brief name change to Asmodeus and several line up changes the following year, the band eventually kept the name Evoken in 1994. They headlined the Dutch Doomsday Festival in 2003 [1].
Incorporating deeply reverbed clean guitars, keyboards, cello and a strong dark ambient influence to their sound, the band has since grown slightly more hypnotic and experimental in their approach from earlier days-yet still maintain their death/doom/funeral influences. Evoken is one of the earliest U.S. doom/death metal bands that are still active today.
