When one of the most historic bands of the Greek scene returns with a new album after 12 years, that alone is news.
If that news turns out to be a very strong album that honors the history of Greek black metal, then we are all satisfied.
So, on February 10, 2023, the highly anticipated Evil Summons Evil was released, awakening memories of the finest years of the ’90s.
The trademark Deviser sound, outstanding orchestral and guitar themes by Christogiannis, and Hnaras sounding just like he did 30 years ago.
The exceptional production fully highlights yet another Deviser album, while the artwork and videos contribute equally to the overall experience.
Three years after its release, Evil Summons Evil has firmly established itself in the Greek black metal scene—not only as one of the best comeback albums, but also as one of the strongest black metal releases of recent years.
All of the above is reflected in outstanding tracks such as “Death Is Life Eternal,” “Cold Comes the Night,” “Absence of Heaven,” and “Of Magick.”
The uniqueness of the compositions on Evil Summons Evil is also powerfully showcased in their live performances, leaving no room for doubt.
In conclusion, as time goes by, Evil Summons Evil sounds increasingly magical and evil, keeping the dark side of our souls wide open.
