Guitarist Nick Orlando and Bassist Rob Robichaud under the name Funereus (US) formed Evoken in April of 1992. After a few lineup changes and a brief period of time under the name Asmodeus, the original lineup of Evoken was formed.

Nick Orlando is no longer a full-time member of the band due to travel distance but remains a part of the lineup.

The name is taken by the song 'Evoken' of Thergothon's demo.

The band also recorded these exclusive cover songs on the following tribute albums:
"Strange World" - A Call To Irons: A Tribute to Iron Maiden (1998)
"Snowblind" - Hell Rules 2: A Tribute to Black Sabbath (2000)
