a lot of death metal bands are just intensity without context, but Evocation tells an agonized, tortured story with their horrible screams. they grab you by your most sensitive parts and whip you around, leaving you thoroughly bruised and grateful for the opportunity to have your soul raped and pissed on and trampled all over by such professionals. i've heard a lot of death metal, and nothing compares to their complexity, coherence, sense of purpose, and sheer intensity. going between fast and slow while maintaining the flow, Evocation is the perfect musical cross between calculus and the atomic bomb.
