█ ItÆs been a while since weÆve heard from the █
█ Spanish melodic death/doom band Evadne. They had a █
█ 2014 EP (Dethroned of Light), but one has to go █
█ back to 2012Æs The Shortest Way to find a █
█ full-length release. Regardless of the time away, █
█ itÆs clear after a listen or two of A Mother Named █
█ Death that the band is no worse for wear and can █
█ still bring the gloom just as well as any of their █
█ established peers. █
█ █
█ The usual references in tow (My Dying Bride, █
█ Katatonia, Draconian, Novembers Doom), Evadne pick █
█ up right where their previous material left off. █
█ But when you can execute it as well as Evadne can, █
█ thereÆs no need to sit around and reinvent the █
█ wheel, particularly this far into the game. Expect █
█ high quality doom death in all its melancholic █
█ splendor. As can be predicted, the path ahead is █
█ long and slow but they occasionally move forward █
█ with a more deathly/blackened march (which does █
█ not relinquish any brutality). The key with Evadne █
█ is emotion û sorrow that pulls down the soul, and █
█ lumbering cuts like ôScars that Bleed Againö █
█ really show what they are all about. Low and █
█ anguished roars lead the way, with a good balance █
█ of crunchy guitars with more mellow and clean █
█ played segments that add more atmosphere. They █
█ utilize clean vocals as well (see ôMorningstar █
█ Songö), but itÆs never an overdone component, just █
█ enhancing the overall formula by hitting more █
█ emotional peaks. █
█ █
█ A Mother Named Death treads familiar territory, █
█ but the bandÆs songwriting skill, as well as ease █
█ with allowing each track to breathe on its own, █
█ give Evadne their seat at the head of the table █
█ with the bands mentioned above. ThereÆs real flow █
█ and a sense of purpose in each track, and they █
█ make great use of the extended length tracks █
█ instead of pooling them into a sloppy mess. Death █
█ doomers should love it. █
