Guest review by

You guessed it. A((Wake)) is part of that emerging scene of hipster rock/metal. Mainly on the fringe of metal and the more aggressive side of progressive rock, they blend other different musical elements into their music; moving from a folk, atmosphere oriented rock to a more aggressive stoner rock/metal while keeping in touch with their psychedelic side. Needless to say, this perfectly orchestrated musical alchemy will keep you on your toes.
Their self-titled debut album is a concept one about survival in difficult circumstances. You will be taken through the various states of mind of a man caught in a dangerous, cold and unforgiving territory. Some passages will be filled with exaltation as you are the first one to discover and explore such beautiful landscape, some passages will put you in a stressful life or death situation where success may only be achieved with sacrifice and other passages will be sparks of hope and the confidence that you can survive anything (spark that can be shattered at any moment). Sometimes you'll hear a voice, always pushing you further, always drawing more strength from your flesh and bones when you thought you were done for. Is it your inner voice or perhaps a good Samaritan that wants you to push your own boundaries? The answer remains unknown. Only one thing is certain. This listen left its impression on you. The kind of experience you either love or hate with a passion.

Ahh crap! That first paragraph ain't from my review. It's some self promotional thing that was in the additional info of the album. Plz start reading at paragraph 2.

Posts: 21306 Written by Edmund Fogg on 11.03.2012 at 03:48 No worries. It's part of the album's additional info, which is separated by a double-space as opposed to a single space. Additional info --- --- Beginning of Review --- Paragraph --- Paragraph --- End of Review
---- "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something."

I know it's just that when it's in text form like that, It breaks a bit the flow of the review.

Fixed. 90% of it was useless propaganda so I deleted it.
