From PhobiaRecords.net:
So what is the Awakening? Raw and fast crust in the vein of His Hero is Gone/Tragedy/From Ashes Rise mixed with Swedish and Japanese hardcore, bringing aggressive metallic catchy riffs full of energy, nice basslines, angry yelling vocals, nice tempos changes, good production and lyrical landscapes of a rotting society and environmental devastation.
Recorded and mixed at Mars Studios, December 2001 by Bill Korecky
