CT's very own INVOCATION OF NEHEK pronounced 'NEE-HEK' or 'NEE-YEK'
over the years, they have gone through minor line-up changes. Usually, that scares me cause I think a band might die during line-up changes, but have recently settled into a stable line up and have gotten a really good line up, recording some of the best sounding death-metal-core to come from new england. Granted, it's hard to classify their sound, sometimes it sounds like the Haunted, but then they break into CT-metal-core bridges, slowed down parts that sound acustic and nice, reminicent of Seven Cay Curse and bleed it to agressive deathmetal and then back in the same breath. Though not as technical or as (sometimes) atmospheric as Opeth, they seem to have a similar structure to their music, but leaning towards the metal-core side. this allows all the kids waiting for "breakdowns breakdowns breakdowns" to have to sit back and enjoy the music instead of just doing karate kids moves.
Their newest stuff was recorded by Ken ('that' guitar player from Unearth)
in their history, I've not relly seen their name on many shows and very rarely got to check them out live (until the passed few months). Hopefully, they will get one more shows cause they are awesome live. I know I saw one of their first shows (if not the actual first) with the new singer and they were all really stiff.. and then the first with their new bassplayer, but tey've loosened up a lot which maes their show that much more amazing.
from their site on the name:
Ok, so we are well aware that our name isn't conventional, and the last word can be hard to pronounce. So considering these two things, we decided to give anyone who cares a band name origin.
Invocation Of Nehek means to raise the dead and use them as an army. or more simply put to just to raise the dead.
Invocation meaning to summon
Nehek meaning the dead
Guitarist Robb Cyr came up with the name, and it was agreed that it sounded different, it wasn't cliché and given the right amount of opportunity, it was actually pretty catchy.

Rev, thank you for the kind words. We all really appreciate it. It means alot to be respected for doing what we love. This band is the reason that I am still in CT. at all. This band has made me happier than anything in my life, musically, and it feels good to have someone notice the work and emotion we put into what we do. Thank you Aaron.

well thanks for the kind words.....we are more emo than Dashboard, without a doubt. I have been known to cry on stage, just so you know. And having knowledge of the Necronomicon would be cool, but as far as that having anything to do with the name..... thats not where its from. So obviously, YOU have no knowledge of it!!! Wanna make out???
whaaaaat?
i only started listening to that band beceause of this thread
i dont like metalcore, at all. but ION is awesome. they need to play in mass so i can see them, better yet they need to play with my band.
hahaha tom is serious about that too, ANAL FUCKIN BEADS! 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
Well i just received word that there are rumors that we disbanded. so to set the record straight, i'm writing to say that we have not disbanded, and are still working on getting things rolling.
We have taken a bit of a break over the past couple of months to write new material, and work out some gear issues. but now we are back on track.
Our next Mass Show is Feb 27th at exit 23 in Haverhill with our friends The Auburn System, Umbrella and Deadwater Drowning
We are also doing an in studio performance on RTTP radio again with The Auburn System, I think it's RTTP first double header??? that will be on FEB 16th, we will have a new song ready for that!
also we are on hxcmp3.com, the entire 3 song demo is up their with a mastered version of "My Gift To Liars"
We are looking to fill march with as many mass dates as possible, so if anyone wants to be nice and hook us up with either a show, or people they know that book shows in Mass, that would be most apprectiated, i'd try my hardest to hook you up with what ever i can, cd's, shirts, or whatever else we end up making.
but yeah thats whats been going on with us. thanks to all the people that said some kind words about us, that certainly was a nice surprise, and it means alot to us.
