Evoken is an American funeral doom band from Lyndhurst, New Jersey. They are one of the earliest U.S. death-doom bands that are still active today, along with Novembers Doom and Rigor Sardonicous.
== History == === Founding years === The band was founded by guitarist Nick Orlando under the name Funereus in April 1992. The original line-up consisted of Rob (bass/vocals), Nick (guitar), Phil (guitar) and Vince (drums). They recorded a rehearsal demo in 1992, which would be the only release under the Funereus name. After briefly changing their name to Asmodeus the following year, the band eventually decided upon the name Evoken in 1994 after several line-up changes. The name was taken from the Thergothon song found on the Fhtagn nagh Yog-Sothoth demo.
