Evadne - Dethroned of Our Souls (Funere) Review by Steve Thomas-Green Dethroned of Our Souls is a compila�on, of sorts, from Spanish Doomsters, Evadne. Nicely packaged together, you get a remastered version of their 2014 Dethroned Of Light EP, a live track, a cover version and their debut, 3 track demo from 2004. Now, the biography promised a melancholic sound, based on the classic bands of the early 90s… and boy, did they get that absolutely spot on. Ok, you probably aren’t going to find a lot of originality here. But take it for what it is, and this is just majes�c. Crashing riffs, gentle melodies, growled vocals and a whole lot of misery… just how I love my Death infused Doom. If you said to a band, here are my 3 favourite Death/Doom bands, please go and make some songs that sound like everything I love about the genre… then Dethroned Of Light would be the result… including the male/female vocal duelling on Awai�ng, which features guest vocals from Natalie Koskinen. As I’ve already said, it’s not par�cularly original, but for my own personal tastes, this is just about perfect. So you get 3 of the 4 tracks from the EP, plus a “live session” version of the remaining track, Colossal. The other bonus track, is a stunning cover version of Officium Triste’s, Like Atlas, which originally came out in 2013. Rounding off this release are the 3 tracks from the bands debut demo, In the Bi�erness of Our Souls. It’s slightly rawer, and it (almost) reminds me of early Moonspell, mixed in with (defunct) Norwegian Doomsters, Paradigma. But it is slightly different from both bands I’ve men�oned. So, 66 minutes in total and a really fascina�ng release… especially if you’ve not heard the band before. www.facebook.com/evadneofficial h�ps://www.facebook.com/funere h�ps://funere.bandcamp.com/
