Evoked Eclipse are a band from Italy that plays an atmospheric and melodic mixture of black, gothic doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "The Cries Of Evil" which will be released in February by Club Inferno Ent..
Atmospheric sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times and also adds in a gothic touch. Elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the recording while the riffs also add in a lot of melody and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. A lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the 90's Swedish style along with the recording also adding in a lot of influences from t he more melodic style of death metal.
Clean playing is also utilized at times along with one track also adding in a brief use of female vocals. Spoken words can also be heard briefly along with a couple of tracks being instrumentals and some of the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and as the album progresses growls are also introduced. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Darkness and Evil themes.
In my opinion Evoked Eclipse are a very great sounding atmospheric and melodic mixture of black, gothic doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Cries Of Evil" and "Illusions Of The Lie". 8 out of 10.
