Evoken Release Their Debut Music Video with “None”
Anyone up for a little American death/funeral doom? If you answered ‘yes’, then I’ve got something cool for you — the very first music video in Evoken’s career for the track “None.” Featured on their forthcoming album Mendacium, due out October 17 via Profound Lore Records, this track is a dark and heavy dirge.
Peaking of the track, drummer Vince Verkay said it was more akin to the self-flaggelation rituals that monks perform than anything else.
“‘None’ invokes a monk’s inner torment. It’s a cinematic descent between faith and desire.”
As for the album itself, Mendacium is described by the band as such: “[The album] tells the tale of a fourteenth-century elderly Benedictine monk whose illness prevents him from leaving his cell in the monastery. His faith and service to God can never be satiated. Slowly declining in health and sleepless from continuous pain, the monk encounters a hideous entity emerging through a tear in reality. The story questions, ‘is the torment of this monk by each passing hour being inflicted by this entity or is it all within his own mind?’”
Mendacium will be released on October 17, but you can preorder your copy today.
