IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Chile’s INVOCATION, The Archaic Sanctuary (Ritual Body Postures)<\/em>, on CD and vinyl LP formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was but the early autumn of 2018 when INVOCATION released The Mastery of the Unseen<\/em> EP through IRON BONEHEAD. Although only two songs, The Mastery of the Unseen<\/em> was presciently titled, for the Chilean power-trio made masterful strides since their debut CDR in 2016 and the extremely promising Seance Part. I<\/em> demo released later that year. Exhibiting the same sulfurous energy as the first works but now displaying a uniquely feral poise, that two-song salvo set the stage for yet another presciently titled work in early 2020: Attunement to Death<\/em>, again released by IRON BONEHEAD. Indeed with this mini-album did INVOCATION reach a hellish harmony with their classic South American diabolism, but on Attunement to Death<\/em> did they imbue it with an ever-deeper – and ever-more-unique – aspect that bountifully displayed their authentic grounding in the occult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At long last, nearly a decade after their formation, INVOCATION unleash their full-length debut: The Archaic Sanctuary (Ritual Body Postures)<\/em>. Upon first blush, thankfully, very little has changed in the Chileans’ sound; restless, roiling, and most definitely RIPPING, their teeth-gnashing gnarliness is squarely situated between black metal and death metal, with no compromise nor fence-sitting to be found. But, where the mini-length predecessor saw the trio exhibiting confidence to spare, The Archaic Sanctuary<\/em> utterly EXPLODES with it. Tight yet loose, wild yet locked-in, primitive constructions played with flowing finesse – INVOCATION’s songwriting and execution have mostly stayed the same but somehow grown to enviable proportions, punishing mind and body with oft-overwhelming and yet always-mesmerizing METAL brewed in the cauldrons of the ancient and occult. No more but definitely no less, this is exactly the sort of debut album INVOCATION needed to deliver: canvassing past, present, and future and fittingly framing it with another gritty analog recording rich with sulfurous fire and sepulchral echoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was only a matter of time before Chile’s INVOCATION delivered a debut album to capitalize on the massive potential they displayed on their short-lengths. With The Archaic Sanctuary (Ritual Body Postures)<\/em>, they now can enter the hallowed ranks of fellow cult countrymen UNAUSSPRECHLICHEN KULTEN, Force of Darkness, Slaughtbbath, and the sorely missed Hades Archer for standard-bearers of classic South American madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
