Hailing from Minas Gerais, Evokthum is a new raw, uncompromising entity within the Brazilian extreme metal scene, under the command of Evokator of Storms and active since 2024. Conceived as a “brutal sonic assault” that nestles between War Metal and bestial Black/Death, the music is intended as a weapon—a vehement ritual of destruction and blasphemy. With ‘Unholy Mass Eradication’, the first full-fledged debut, Evokthum offers its most focused and unyielding work yet. This isn’t an album you simply “listen” to—it’s an onslaught of Blackened Death riffs, War Metal blastbeats, and vocals that resemble a demonic and feral windstorm more than a human voice.
The production is raw and saturated, completely devoid of modern polish, making each track feel like a live assault in an underground bunker. Tracks like “Sadistic Angel Violator”, “Seventh Antichrist Vengeance” and “Massacre of Nazarene Faith” make it clear that subtlety is nowhere to be found—this is pure blasphemous warfare in sonic form.
Amid the chaos, occasional ominous pauses creep in, giving listeners a breathing point or at least a well-deserved fleeting sense of respite—only to be engulfed once more by waves of distortion, bellowing vocals and crashing cymbals.
The result is a relentless storm of destruction, a sonic barrage that scours your senses.
For devotees of raw South American Black/Death metal genre, Krisiun, Sarcofago, Sextrash or Holocausto, ‘Unholy Mass Eradication’ isn’t breaking new ground but rather reasserting its stance as a powerful declaration of war. Let us hope it becomes a classic in no time.
