In every other respect, Quietus was business as (un)usual for these Garden State manic depressives, with continent-sized offerings like "In Pestilence, Burning," "Withering Indignation," and the preceding LP title track, "Embrace the Emptiness" (all of them eight to twelve minutes in length!), boasting long, creeping riffs interwoven with desolate melodic lines, and capped with the most guttural, low-pitched growls achievable by the human larynx (courtesy of lead "Evoker" John Paradiso). Not until the moderately galloping third track, "Tending the Dire Hatred," are listeners given something they can really bang their heads to (in tandem with the most prominent synthesizer backdrops yet), and even the synthesized violins and occasional spoken vocals used on "Where Ghosts Fall Silent" and the monolithic title track, respectively, only manage to lift the drapes of sonic oppression ever so slightly. By the time Quietus begins winding down, via the relatively concise "Atrementous Journey" -- a veritable David amidst the preceding Goliaths at but four minutes of instrumental mourning -- exhausted survivors may feel like they've just endured a full week's worth of sensory bludgeoning, instead of an hour's. But then, that's the twisted attraction of funeral death/doom such as this, and with Quietus, Evoken proved they could dominate the genre's peculiarities as well as any band, going on to achieve even more stunning results on their subsequent masterpiece, Antithesis of Light. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi ## Images ![Quietus - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/619WTBd9THL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for the faint of heart... *by I***E on March 12, 2003* When regular doom metal is just too upbeat and happy, when the pain of life becomes too much to bear, when suicide needs a soundtrack, there's only one band to turn to: Evoken.Evoken occupies a lonely subgenre of doom metal called funeral doom, and as the disc begins and "In Pestilence, Burning" bears down on you with all the weight of a fallen god, you'll find the genre to be aptly named. This music takes all the hallmarks of doom to the next level; the music crawls along at a very slow pace, is crushingly heavy, and is very depressing. This is not something you turn on in the background while you chat with your friends. "Quietus" demands your attention, it demands a dark room and plenty of volume.As for its atmosphere, my first listen to this album conjured up an image that I always associate with Evoken now. Let me see if I can paint you a picture. Broken figures shuffle dejectedly through the vast caverns of hell. The despair of their countless years has weighed so heavily upon them that their features are no longer distinguishable; they are no longer individuals, but shapeless masses, so utterly devoid of all hope that they can do nothing but wander aimlessly in their cold prison. They are consigned to an eternity of enslavement to an infinitely cruel fiend who is never seen, but whose presence dominates nonetheless. Listening to this album is like having your heart crushed in a fist of ice with agonizing slowness."Quietus" is not something I listen to very often. I have to be in a pretty dark mood to really get into this kind of music. But on those days, "Quietus" is pure catharsis. If you enjoy doom metal in general, or just want to punish yourself, get this and you won't be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by G***. on January 2, 2015* Classic Evoken. Nothing more and nothing less. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best death/doom bands *by S***5 on April 25, 2006* If you have any interest in doom metal at all, this is one of those cds that you really must get. Every song on here is crushing, bleak, heavy, and slow yet beautiful at the same time. Quietus is one of the best examples of the genre and if you are into death metal but haven't experienced any death/doom or funeral doom bands give this a try. I advise you to stay open minded though as I know many people who just can't get into these kind of bands because the music is just too slow for them. Anyway this is one of those cds where you can listen and just become engulfed in the music. Every song on here is good but if I can't listen to the whole album at a time I usually end up listening to In Pestilence, Burning or Quietus the most. Also this is supposedly their best cd although I have yet to hear the others so I can't fully comment on that yet. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/56758864-quietus](https://www.desertcart.in/products/56758864-quietus) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
