American Death/Funeral Foom legends EVOKEN have released “None,” the latest single from their upcoming full-length “Mendacium”, due out October 17 via Profound Lore Records. The single arrives with a haunting milestone: the band’s first-ever music video, directed, produced, and edited by Eva Tusquets.
EVOKEN drummer Vince Verkay describes the song as a meditation on suffering and spiritual collapse: “‘None’ invokes a monk’s inner torment. It’s a cinematic descent between faith and desire.”
As for the album itself, M”endacium” is described by the band as such: “[The album] tells the tale of a fourteenth-century elderly Benedictine monk whose illness prevents him from leaving his cell in the monastery. His faith and service to God can never be satiated. Slowly declining in health and sleepless from continuous pain, the monk encounters a hideous entity emerging through a tear in reality. The story questions, ‘is the torment of this monk by each passing hour being inflicted by this entity or is it all within his own mind?’”
“Mendacium “will be released on October 17, but you can preorder your copy today.
