Evoken - Embrace the Emptiness (1998)

US death-infused funeral doom of the highest order. Chiming clean guitar leads over heavy, wretchedly depressed riffage, funereal keyboards, reverberating drums, and dejected vocals. In a music scene lousy with uninteresting doom bands, Evoken have been and continue to be a shining beacon of inspired misery.

Track listing:
1. Intro
2. Tragedy Eternal
3. Chime the Centuries End
4. Lost Kingdom of Darkness
5. Ascend into the Maelstrom
6. To Sleep Eternally
7. Curse the Sunrise

Only imagined pleasures can exist
