EVOCATION Signs With CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS

January 13, 2012

Swedish death metallers EVOCATION have inked a deal with Century Media Records. The band will enter the studio soon to record the follow-up to 2010's "Apocalyptic" for a fall 2012 release. In addition, Century Media will issue a compilation of EVOCATION's entire demo discography, plus additional footage, comments, liner notes, exclusive artwork and unreleased songs. A summer 2012 release is expected.

Commented EVOCATION guitarist Marko Palmén: "It's time to kick in the year of the apocalypse with the writing of a new chapter and a new era in EVOCATION's history.

"We are very pleased to announce that we have signed a new worldwide recording agreement with Century Media Records. The label feels for us as a natural choice and a perfect partner due to their long experience and commitment with the death metal scene. To become a part of the Century Media family feels for us as coming home. Huge thanx to Jens Prüter, Philipp Schulte, Stefan Franke and [the rest of] Century Media for making this happen!"

Philipp Schulte, A&R Century Media Records Europe, states: "We are very happy to add EVOCATION to the Century Media roster. Century Media's roots are and will always be in the death metal scene. Death metal built up the label's base and reputation and has been our back bone ever since. With EVOCATION we are solidifying the base even further. EVOCATION have proven to be able to deliver outstandingly good material and we therefore are very much looking forward to the release of the new album. Welcome aboard!"
