Relentless transformation, aggression, and transcendence have written the script for WAKE. Since their formation in 2009, they’ve released numerous EPs and singles, plus five full-lengths – touring the world in support of it. Now, for their upcoming sixth album, WAKE has joined forces with Metal Blade Records, marking a new chapter for the quintet.
WAKE‘s latest full-length, Devouring Ruin, was featured on several “best of 2020″ lists (including Decibel Magazine, Exclaim!, and BrooklynVegan, among others); soon after its release, the group dropped their Confluence EP, once again to critical acclaim. Most recently, WAKE released a new track – “Vast and Infinite” – in October 2020, exclusively through Decibel Magazine as a part of their Flexi Series. Stream “Vast And Infinite” HERE.
“[Devouring Ruin] is a masterclass on experimentation and untethered ideation filtered through a prism of extreme metal’s most radiant attributes.” – Metal Injection
“WAKE…are standard bearers for uncompromising, intelligent extreme metal. Their refusal to aim at the ever-moving target of extremity gives them the bandwidth to focus on becoming the best they can be.” – Everything Is Noise
“With Devouring Ruin, these guys are in another league. In a scene that is full of surprises, WAKE have put out a fitting benchmark to start this new decade of heavy music.” – Exclaim!
