EVOCATION Covers CARCASS, NAPALM DEATH Classics On New EP

June 27, 2013

Swedish death metallers EVOCATION have finished recording of five cover versions that are going to be released as a EP on vinyl and as digital download on August 19.

"Excised And Anatomised" includes the following tracks:

Side 1:

01. … For Victory (originally by BOLT THROWER)
02. Corporal Jigsore Quandary (originally by CARCASS)
03. You Suffer (originally by NAPALM DEATH)

Side 2:

01. Enigma (originally by EDGE OF SANITY)
02. Terminal Spirit Disease (originally by AT THE GATES)

All songs were recorded at EVOCATION's own Evocation Studios. Dan Swanö took care of the mix and mastering at Unisound Studios. Cover and layout were once again created by Xaay, who has previously worked with EVOCATION on their last two studio albums.

According to a press release, "Each of the five classic songs works very well in the typical sound of EVOCATION. It's not only homage to the ancient gods of death metal. It's a tribute to the scene itself that EVOCATION has been part of since the band's founding in 1991. It's a deferential bow to the bands that have decisively influenced EVOCATION throughout the years. 'Excised And Anatomised' is not a try to play a decent copy of a classic track. It's a statement, an oath of allegiance to death metal."

The vinyl version of "Excised And Anatomised" will be released as a 12-inch EP on 180-gram vinyl with inlay for a fan-friendly price.

* White vinyl, limited to 100 copies - exclusively at CMdistro.com
* Gray vinyl, limited to 100 copies - exclusively at Nuclear Blast
* Dark-red vinyl, limited to 100 copies - available at various mailorders
* Black vinyl, limited to 700 copies - available at various mailorder

EVOCATION's fourth studio album, "Illusions Of Grandeur", was released in September 2012 via Century Media Records. The CD includes "ten tracks of supreme Swedish death metal, a perfect mélange of Stockholm rawness and Gothenburg epics," according to a press release.

"Illusions Of Grandeur" was recorded at IF Studios (IN FLAMES, THE HAUNTED) and Evocation Studios with producer Roberto Laghi (IN FLAMES) and mixed at IF Studios by Laghi. It was mastered at Bohus Sound Studios by Dragan Tanaskovic. As a very special guest, Johan Hegg of AMON AMARTH laid down vocals on the song "Into Submission".
