Danish INVOCATOR were born in 1989 and released the great Death / Thrash album “Excursion Demise” in 1992, which meanwhile is a small classic of the Danish Metalscene. “Weave The Apocalypse” (1994) continued this tradition, but the third album “Dying To Live” (1995) obviously documented the different musical directions that collided within the band and finally made INVOCATOR split up. Six years later the band got together again, wrote new material and now “Through The Flesh To The Soul”, their fourth “real” album is out and offers contemporary Metal that has not anything to do with their beginnings, but tends to sound more like NEVERMORE, EIDOLON or late CHANNEL ZERO especially due to the melodic vocals and the groovy, mainly mid-tempo structured songs. The production is very good, warm sounding and modern, but I think it is sad when a band loses its identity or the link to its own roots that much.
