about

Formed in 2002, Evocation HK 招魂 is considered to be one of the leading black death metal bands in HK. It was founded by Tomy Chiu, the vocal and guitarist and there was a few line-up shifts in the past 11 years. And the current line-up was formed since 2010: Tai Tam (Guitar), Chung Chow (Bass), Man Leung (Drums), Jamline Lo (Synth)

Evocation HK 招魂 won 4th place among 30 bands from all around the world in Wacken Open Air 2014 - Metal Battle. First ever in HK history.

Evocation HK 招魂 is characterized by its blending of Eastern instrumentation and black death metal. Much of the lyrical content is based on the interest in Taoism, Buddhism and the related evocation rites. Songs are written to inspire and awake the mass to walk out of the control of the authoritative dictatorship of any aspect.

The latest album “天靈靈 地靈靈” (“Abracadabra” in Chinese) was released in 2013. It was made to condemning the degenerating world through the Chinese ritual elegy lyrics and vocal. Songs were blended with doom harmony Taoist ambience with heavy and fast black death metal riffs.

“天靈靈 地靈靈” (“Abracadabra” in Chinese) is a traditional Taoist incantation to summon the great respectable old master Lao Zi. Surpassing the Human World, Heaven and Hell, Lao Zi’s philosophy were sung to crumble the curse of feudalism.

The debut album “Take Your Soul” was released in 2008. It is very dark and cold. It is strongly influenced by North European black metal with lyrics written to fulminate the hypocrites.

Hong Kong was a borrowed city as a colony for more than a hundred years and was returned to China since after 1997. The tyrannized city is getting lost in its identity. Evocation is looking for a utopia in its music.
