Album Reviews:
"Their full-length debut shows a band capable of softening passages and massive eruptions of groove, emotion and lots of other rockin' stuff, never letting go of one helluva intensely brooding atmosphere"
Bart, Lords of Metal, (Mar 1, 2012)
www.lordsofmetal.nl
"The technical progressive metal of A((Wake)) draws a little from death metal, a little from Dream Theater, and a bit from the industrial genre without forgetting the melody, which is now even more prominent due to the presence of Ben Jackson.... A pleasing and welcome return to A ((Wake))"
Bernardo Pacini, Unprogged.com (Dec 11, 2011)
www.unprogged.com
"The most surprising thing about this debut album is the band's ability to deliver a solid Post Metal experience that borders on the level that was experienced 15 years earlier on Tool's Ænima. That 1996 release pretty much created a firm assumption in the back of my mind that there was nothing more left to explore in this sub-genre. Experience is the key to realization of ones past mistakes and I've certainly learned another valuable lesson by listening to A((WAKE))!"
Alexander Petersen, ProgArchives www.progarchives.com
"They play atmospheric progressive rock/metal in the best traditions of Tool and The Dream Theatre. Epic sound, vocals perfectly aligns with the emotional atmosphere of each composition, instrumental parts are very rich and expressive. All together it creates a challenging vision."

Other Press:
"This album is truly amazing. I can't stop listening to it ever since I got it. Moving melodies, touching vocals, killer bass line, superb riffs. I can't stop with the superlatives! This is an instant favorite for me. One of the best ones I've listened to for a while! Nothing short of a masterpiece."
Yoske Shamam
"This is the best rock/metal album I've heard in a long time. Absolutely epic. At times they are as soft and spacey as Pink Floyd then they get as heavy as Pantera. Don't get me wrong though, it's pretty hard to compare them to anything. Musicianship, vocals and production are superb! "
dallas, www.amazon.com
"Guys, the album is amazing! Since I received it three months ago, I can't stop listening to it. It's the best album I have heard in many years. A big Thank You from Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina!"

Self-produced with longtime friend and engineer Jeanot Lewis-Rolland, the band's self-titled debut is a concept record which ... more blends diverse guitar work, percussion, and soaring vocals into a contiguous set of rock movements which are sure to make rock listeners beg (and weep) for more. Covering such themes as the struggles of self-identity and the navigation through an estranged modern world. less

02- IRON MOLD
iron mold takes hold
patrolled by liars
buyers beware
there's poison gas mixed with the air
hair care, bus fare, i do as I'm told
I'm sold, controlled, enrolled in the lie
see the millionaires out of thin air
I'm on parole
I'm digging post holes
a billionaire killed a grizzly bear
but not on his own and just for the fun
he kept the claws for his sons
and left the rest to rot in the sun
birds eye sees mine wash away
we'd like our kind washed away
birds eye sees mine washed away
I'm higher now I'm hand to mouth
when i feel life
somethings right when i walk for days
I'm higher now I'm hand to mouth
I breathe the air
I repair
cut the corner
walk in circles
all the minions
die with nothing
you know
this load well
life divine
washed away
birds eye sees mine wash away
high seas - Track Name: Storm Cloud
-
03 - STORM CLOUD
I'm walking through a field now
I'm overlooking miles and miles
I'm lost in the trees now
I'm heading toward the storm cloud
I'm walking through a dream now
I'm overlooking miles and miles
I'm lost in the streets now
I'm heading toward the storm cloud
dig me out of my mold
I'm setting up
dig me out of my mold
I'm setting up
there's a drought in my self control
I'm all used up
I'm in doubt of this punchbowl
I'm getting out - Track Name: Landslide
-
04 - LANDSLIDE
the sunrise
was so bright
in my eyes
the street light
lit your mind's eye
at twilight
leave me outside and this lifestyle will be my child
leave me all night and i will thrive at great heights
be so right this campsite
leave me outside and this lifestyle will be right
leave me all night and i glow
we ride landslide
baby hold tight
we ride landslide
baby hold tight
never say die
baby hold tight
never last rite
baby hold tight
yeah don't let go
yeah don't let go
don't let me down
i see the light, only sunrise
hold me. don't leave. don't let me down
i see the light, only your eyes
hold me. don't leave. don't let me down
i see the light, only disguise
hold me. don't leave. don't let me down
don't let me down - Track Name: Endless
-
06 - ENDLESS
i see this earth crossing this moment
i see this earth crossing this moment
i see youth, the sickness
i see through the endless
i see this earth crossing this moment
i see youth, the sickness
i see through the endless
acquiescently we know there's no certainty til' death
mother, father, further
you suck my soul
hex takes hold
i won't live my life based on your fairy tale
if you know what life is worth you'll look for yours on earth
you schmuck
controlled
hex takes hold
i see this earth crossing this moment
i see this earth crossing this moment
i see this earth crossing this moment
i see youth, the sickness
i see through the endless - Track Name: Program

07 PROGRAM
fall in line with all the crazies
they won't die
they won't try
there's so many gone
they made it all
this whole time all lies
oh my god salvation in your eyes
all my thoughts have been outlawed
thought crimes go live
so many know the meaning of it all
one life
one try
the facade will crumble upon us
one life
one try

08 - THERAPY
knife cuts the penalty
slice
slice of therapy
knife cuts the penalty
slice
slice of therapy
if you fight the therapy we bestow
if you fight the therapy you'll be first to die
we'll rewrite your history and you fall
we'll rewrite your history and you're first to die
rewrite lives
die
blood runs from my shotgun
blood runs from my shotgun
there's a drone flying over
it's not alone
the plateau's a new graveyard
it's all over
i need my therapy
i need my therapy
if you fight the therapy we bestow
if you fight the therapy you'll be first to die
we'll rewrite your history and you fall
we'll rewrite your history and you're first to die
you're two steps in front of me as you crawl
you're two steps in front of me and you're first to die

-
09 - DON'T YOU SHUT YOUR EYES
grab onto something
sliding rock
I'm falling down a spiral staircase sideways
I levitate
I'm shifting my shape to rise
I'm falling down
I'm falling down
pay attention
don't you shut your eyes
not yet
not ever
not yet
not ever
my crime is all blown minds
go try, make your move
affront
I've tried to tell you, but i failed
you slip into the death of night
you hear the coyotes calling and you respond
after the machines stop moving the silence is an uproar and you belong
I'm out creeping around ancient grounds
limbs fall dark surrounds
you belong
heard them call my name
and you respond
thought I'd lost my way
and you belong
I need to know. I need to fill this hole
need the reason
all I've lost I've learned
and you belong
all my thoughts are heard
and you belong
I'm falling down
I'm falling down
pay attention
don't you shut your eyes
down a spiral staircase
sideways
I levitate
I'm shifting my shape to rise
my crime is all blown minds - Track Name: Towards My Soul
-
11 - TOWARDS MY SOUL
I don't see you
you cast a line
into the deep
we'll wait forever
and don't be shy
come towards my soul
til' we die you'll be adored - Track Name: Years Go By
-
12 - YEARS GO BY
I'm the same as before
but now i ignore you
I'm tired, beat down, suicidal
now that the day is done
years go by
I survive
all i want is more drugs
to absorb this
sequence of events
you know I've found
tenderness in your dark world
I'm alive
now that the day is done
years go by
I survive
all i want is more love
to enjoy this
to go all the way
the serpent spinning round
you might find a medallion in your hand
there's no time left for battles
in the end we all blow away
we might light burning arrows to exclaim
in our minds we are ageless
but each day it all fades away - Track Name: Castles or Rust
-
13 - CASTLES OR RUST
there's a moment now it's gone
and you won't get a rerun
everyone wants a mansion
all i want is to be young
the seasons always change
no matter what
the dealer always peeks at your cards
in the well what do you see
castles or rust
we might fail or succeed
depends on us
all the pages of the calendar
sorely reminds me of my mistakes
all the pages of the calendar
sorely reminds me of my mistakes
the writings on the wall and i've
learned the hard way always
all the violence and the religion
turns my mind into a disease
cut the corner
walk in circles
til' the curtain
rises once again
you'll know
where to go
you'll grow
