From the frontlines of melodic death metal, EVOCATUS return with their blistering new single, “To Live by the Sword,” featuring Maude Théberge of Sanguine Glacialis — the latest offering from their forthcoming full-length album Inevitable Death, set for release on August 29, 2025 via Wormholedeath — a thunderous concept record drenched in fate, warfare, and mortality. Unrelenting from the very first strike, “To Live by the Sword” dives into the psyche of a warrior king — torn between conquest and guilt, forsaking kin in the name of empire, and ultimately seeking absolution on the battlefield. With razor-edged riffing, dual guitar solos, and a narrative arc that blends glory and grief, this track is a towering monument to the eternal cycle of violence and redemption. The single is an explosive highlight from Evocatus’s most ambitious release to date — Inevitable Death — a concept album where myth meets metal, channeling the spirit of ancient warfare through modern sonic brutality. |
