EVOCATION Sign Album Contract With Metal Blade Records
November 10th, 2016
Swedish death metal band Evocation have signed a worldwide album contract with Metal Blade Records, revealing this development on November 10th, 2016.
Guitarist Marko Palmen commented: “We are extremely proud to announce the signing of a new world wide recording agreement with Metal Blade Records. Evocation will from this day on be part of a legendary roster consisting of bands such as Behemoth, Bolt Thrower, Cannibal Corpse, Mercyful Fate etc.
“For us it was a natural choice to join Metal Blade Records since we already for several years had a successful co-operation with them for the licensing of Evocation’s first three albums in the USA and Canada. Metal Blade Records is also a label that is widely known for its commitment within the death metal scene, which for us means a lot.
