Mesmerizing and gloomy Doom-Death from the most ghastly recesses of Finland. Merging the composing talents of LL from Desolate Shrine with the multi layered vocals of NM from Dark Buddha Rising, Convocation will haunt you and abrade your guts with the most spectral yet punishing tones you could experience!
Formed 4 years ago in Helsinki, Finland, Convocation started as a death metal project that later developed more close to darker doomish soundscapes, an outlet for really heavy and slow music with the will to experiment including synths, organs etc.
Lyrically focused on hatred towards homo sapiens and apocalyptic scenarios, "Scars Across" was written in two different timespans and roughly a year between those sessions till everything clicked and finally spawning 4 apocalyptic anthem.
2 years later Convocation are back with “Ashes Coalesce”, an aural study of concepts encircling death: Grief, rage and defiance, melancholy, acceptance and fear and anxiety of the unknown. The grandeur of the almost spiritual experience of melancholy, the humbleness towards one’s mortality or fragility and the all-engulfing blackness.
