_A Caress of the Void_ is Evoken as known and loved by all: crushing riffs and depressive cleanly struck arpeggios accompanied by low-pitched growls emanating from the darkest recesses of lungs, and stripped of all romantic and gothic pretensions. Too slow and stripped for romantic death, too complex and fast for funeral, Evoken lie somewhere between the two, synergising both to produce an almost peerless opus that serves to further cement their already well-established reputation as one of the world's finest practitioners of the doom craft.
