Evoken

The extreme doomdeath band Evoken was formed in April of 1992, debuting with the Shades Of Night Descending EP in 1995, followed by a string of albums in the 2000's and beyond. Some place this band in the funeral doom camp, but comparing Evoken with a classic funeral band such as Skepticism reveals that Evoken is a bit closer to standard doomdeath, and they do not employ the church organs, though keyboards are prevalent. Quietus, their 2001 release, has a decent variance in mood, though the band practically never shifts gears tempo-wise as they stick to the ultra-slow riffing, and the death growls are similarly one-dimensional, though not enough to detract from the overall sound. Certainly not the most joyous of bands, but they play this style convincingly.
