The ninth album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a trio on this album with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.
The band changed from being a death metal band in the vein of Grave and Bolt Thrower on the previous album. They moved in the direction of My Dying Bride. Slow doom metal in other words.
Invocation Of Magick sees the band sticking to some of the same. The band has moved a lot further towards more gothic doom metal, though.
There is some hints of very early Paradise Lost here. But most of the music here is muddy, slow gothic doom metal. There are also some avant-garde metal and dark metal influences here.
There are even some melodic pieces here on this fifty minutes long album.
The vocals is not as guttural as on their first eight albums. They are not good but the vocalist is trying out something new here.
The quality of the music is pretty decent throughout. This is not their best album. Nevertheless, those into doom metal should give this album a spin or two.
