Chile's Invocation have returned with a new recording which continues the ritualistic mixture of black and death metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2020 ep "Attunement To Death" which will be released in February by Iron Bonehead Productions.
Dark soundscapes start off the ep along with a brief use of breathing voices before going into a heavier direction. The riffs also add in a decent amount of dark sounding melodies while the faster sections of the songs also utilize a lot of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Vocals bring in a mixture of black metal metal and mid 80's to early 90's death metal style growls. The songs also bring in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music being more heavily rooted in an old school style as well as the slower sections of the tracks bringing in elements of doom/death metal.
All of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them as well as a couple of the tracks being very long and epic in length as well as the music also having it's ritualistic moments. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover occultism, spiritualism, possessions and witchcraft themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Invocation and if you are a fan of old school black and death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Flying Ointments" and "Secret Tongues". 8 out of 10.
