1) Evol was an Italian black metal band founded in 1993. The band described itself as a pure atmospheric black metal act. The band's style was occult and medieval. Evol's tempos were rather slow. Surroundings were dark, very sad and repetitive. Keyboards were an omnipresent instrument in Evol's music, not only in use for surroundings but a large part of the melodies and were sometimes the basis of some songs. The bands sound was also distinctive by having two vocalists, the first one in a black metal style by keyboard player Giordano Bruno (Prince of Agony), the second one is the female singer Suspiria (The Princess of Disease). Guitars and drums emphasized and strengthen melodies. Guitars were played by Samael von Martin (Lord of Sorrow), who also plays flute.
They released three albums on Adipocere Records: "Saga of the Horned King" (1995), "Dreamquest" (1996) and "Portraits" (1999). On the second album tempos are rather rapid and sometimes speed. The whole album seems less dark. Structures of the songs were more complex and the band used more original instruments and sound, even if keyboards are still omnipresent. Rhythms are more heavier, sometimes in the vein of Metallica. On Dreamquest Evol used a wide palette of vocal styles: use of various tone, gothic, death, opera, black metal, female.
2) Evol is an experimental group from Barcelona, Spain that formed in 1996. The band produces what they call "computer music for hooligans". At the core of the project is Roc Jiménez de Cisneros. Occasional EVOL members and/or collaborators include Danish composer and multi-instrumentalist Jakob Draminsky Højmark, English sound artist Joe Gilmore, Spanish writer and sound artist Anna María Ramos, British video artist Andy Davies, Berlin-based sound artist Rubén Patiño and Scottish sound artist Joel Ongthorne.
Evol's work has been released on internationally acclaimed record labels such as Mego, Lucky Kitchen, Diskono, Scarcelight, Antifrost or fals.ch.
2003 saw the birth of a series of electroacoustic pieces entitled Punani, which addresses some of the main aspects of Evol's work, namely algorithmic composition, noise, psychedelia, diverse synthesis techniques, spectro-morphology and the musical application of fractal geometry and other mathematical phenomena. The series has five parts so far.
3) Evol was a Californian crossover thrash / speed metal band. They released a demo in 1989 and an album titled Experiment in Fear in 1992. After there release they played a couple shows and had a live version of "Cyco-Self" on the metal compilation Mosh on Fire: Banned in LA. Then the following year they broke up.
4) Evol is a Japanese deathgrind band. Their releases include, among other things, a split with Mortalized.

AVVOLTO IL QUELLA BRUMA GRIGIA CHE GLI FACEVA DA MANTELLO...
IMPERTURBABILE ATTENDEVA DA MILLENI....
SERRATO IN QUELLA VALLE CHE VA DALLE...
PIANURE NEBBIOSE AL MASSICCIO DEL SOLE...
MA COSA POTEVA MAI NASCONDERE QUELL' EDIFICIO SCURO E SOLITARIO...
TUTTI LO EVITAVANO...PERFINO LA LUCE DEL SOLE SEMBRAVE...
RESTIA AD ACCAREZZARE LE SUE FREDDE MURA....
VIAGGIO PUR DI NON DOVERSI POSA RE SULLE VISCIDE MERLATURE...
MA IO NON ERO UN UCCELLO MIGRATORE...
E NON ERO NEMMENO LA LUCE DEL SOLE...NO...
IO ERO LA NOTTE...AVVOLTA INUN MANTO DI STELLE E NUBI...
DI VENTO E TENEBRE...DI FREDDO E PAURA...
LA LUNA MI FACEVA DA CAMPAGNA...
MENTRE ATTRAVERSAVO LE PIANURE NEBBIOSE...
FU PROPRIO LEI A GUIDARMI QUI...
DAVANTI A QUESTA FORTEZZA SOLITARIA...
MA IN FONDO IO L'HO SEMPRE SAPUTO...
ME LO DISSE LA GRIGIA SIGNORA CHE DIMORA...
A MARILLON E POI L'ANTICO RE DEL GHIACCIO...
NEL SUO PALAZZO DI CRISTALLO....SU...NELLE LANDE...
ME LO DISSE PERFINO IL MIO PROMESSO SPOSO...
IN UN 'EPOCA ORMAI DIMENTICATA....
QUESTO E IL MIO REGNO...QUESTO IL MIO DESTINO...
TRA IL SILENZIO DELLE ANTICHE MURA CHE HO DI FRONTE POTRO...
FINALMENTE ADEMPIERE AL COMPITO AFFIDATOMI...
LA TORRE SQUADRATA MI OSSERVA DALL' ALTO DEI BASTIONI...
COME UNA SENTINELLA SUGLI SPALTI...
QUI NON SARO SVIATA E LA MIA MENTE NON SI SMARRIRA....
NEI LABIRINTHI DELLA CARNE...
LE MONTAGNE CHE MI CIRCONDANO SAPRANNO FARE BUONA GUARDIA...
CASA...COME SUONA STRANA QUESTA PAROLA SULLE MIE LABBRA...
SEMPRE IN VIAGGIO...MAI UNA SOSTA...
PROPRIO COME IL VENTO...CHE TUTTO ACCAREZZA E NULLA AFFERRA...
ED ORA ECCOMI GIUNTA ALLA FINE DELLA CORSA...
PERFINO IL VENTO QUI TROVA RIPOSO TRA GLI UMIDI ABISSI DELLA TERRA...
MA IO NON POTRO MAI RIPOSARE...
ADESO HA INIZIO IL VIAGGIO AUTENTICO...
ORA COMINCIA LA VERA AVVENTURA CHE MI PORTERA...
ALLA SCOPERTA DINUOVE METE...NUOVI ORIZZONTI...
GIA LI SCORGO LI IN LONTANANZA...SEMBRANO ATTENDERE...

The song Il Castello Evitato by Evol is about a dark and solitary castle that is avoided by everyone, even the migratory birds make detours to avoid resting on its walls. However, the singer of the song is not deterred by its ominous appearance and approaches the castle at night, led by the moon through foggy plains. She knows she is meant to be there, and the grey lady who dwells in Marillon and the ancient king of the ice, both told her that this was her destiny.
The singer feels that she is finally home and is filled with a sweet melancholy, remembering a time that was. She knows that her journey is not over, and the true adventure is just beginning, taking her to new horizons and destinations. The song ends with the lady finally arriving at the castle, ready to fulfill her destiny.
The lyrics are quite poetic and use metaphorical language to describe the castle and the singer's journey. The castle represents the unknown, and the singer's courage to face it head-on. The moon and the fog symbolize the uncertainty and the mystery that she is venturing into. The song talks about finding one's purpose and destiny, even if it means facing darkness and solitude.
