Swedish Death Metallers EVOCATION Unleash New Track “Children of Stone”

Sweden’s death metal export, Evocation are streaming the lead single, “Children Of Stone,” off their upcoming new album The Shadow Archetype. Due out via Metal Blade Records on March 10th, The Shadow Archetype celebrates the group’s return to death metal but with some added thrash metal elements.

Marko Palmen (guitars) chimed in on the album: “In my opinion, the new album is a step towards the roots of the band, although it also has a footing in the future. I think the sound of the new album in many ways reflect the dynamic of me and Simon, who wrote the music for the album. I’m more of an old-school death metal kind of guy and Simon comes from the younger generation of death metal freaks who enjoy technicality and brutality. Somehow, we just merged those two sides of death metal into the creation that will be known as The Shadow Archetype. But I also have to point out that the album is a creation made by all the members of Evocation and I think we all pushed ourselves to the very limit of what is achievable. I’m certain that we all can stand proud of the album in the future.”
