Evocation's Complete Demo Recordings Set For Release

.
Century Media have set a June 26th release date for the complete demo recordings of Evocation, in a collection called Evoked From Demonic Depths - The Early Years.

The complilation will be released in North America exclusively through CM Distro (in addition to a 32-page booklet, the CD version also includes three live bootleg video enhancements), plus digitally.

Tracks 1 through 4 are taken from The Ancient Gate demo, tracks 5 through 9 are from the Promo 1992 demo, tracks 10 through 13 are previously unreleased rehearsal tracks-- and as a very special addition to this compilation, the band has also recorded the previously unreleased track "Genesis", which was written in 1992. "Genesis" was recorded at IF Studios (In Flames, The Haunted, etc.) by producer Robert Laghi. All tracks were mastered at Fascination Street Studio (Opeth, Paradise Lost, Enslaved, etc.), and the re-mastering of the demo tracks was done using the original master tapes.

Besides the historical musical content, this compilation is packed with in-depth information about the history of Evocation. A foreword has been written by Anzo Sadoni (Metal Hammer), Bj�rn-Thorsten Jaschinski (Rock Hard & Legacy) and Frank Schenk (Chaos Magazine), and it takes a dive into Evocation's history, from their start in 1991 through their reunion in 2005 and the release of the band's critically acclaimed third studio album, Apocalyptic . Guitarist Marko Palm�n comments on every song and gives a detailed view into the writing process of the demos. In addition to this information, the compilation also includes band photos, concert flyers, and other visual content from the years 1991 to 1993, plus a balanced layout designed by Xaay (Nile, Behemoth, etc.).
