Awake And Create - Retribution // Forgiveness

Genre: Metal
For Fans Of: Fit For A King, My Ticket Home, Silent Screams

Second single from the guys in Awake And Create! This song is definitely better than the first in many ways and more hateful. This band is definitely one of my favorite un-signed bands. This song goes faster which I don’t like at all, I wish it was longer and slower so it lasted longer. This band has a sound that’s different and kind of generic at the same time which is something I've rarely heard. The vocal style is original and the song structure is a bit original but it does seem like it’s used in a lot of other songs but this band uses it and makes something great out of it which is you can hear easily in the song. The screams in this song sound pretty angry if you really listen closely to them it kind of matches the lyrics greatly as well. Awake And Create could cover a boring song and make it in to something interesting and fun to listen to or make it into a song you have to replay over and over again. The band literally adds elements to make their songs more interesting and to get their listeners attention, it’s like they want your full attention in the whole song and never want to lose it and even at the end they try to leave you with the impression of you have to replay this song or get another song rather quick. This band in all honesty doesn't fail to impress their audience in any way they always live up to their expectation which only makes them more the listen and the greater band. I’m really hoping this band gets their break and makes it somewhere in their careers before they leave the music scene, if they ever leave the music scene which I would hate to see.
Breakdown:
Screams: The screams are pretty angry it sounds like. The first single sounded pretty hateful as well and this song is even more hateful, it kind of makes me wonder if all the songs this band’s going to release will be angry or hateful, I do kind of hope they have many more angry songs in their future because they do a great job at writing and structuring the songs they write. The vocals fit well with their lyrics and add that emotion behind them which is something that really makes this band stand out in their genre. The vocal style this band does is probably my favorite it packs a real punch and fits their music style pretty well, I don’t really think this band has anything bad about them, well maybe the fact their songs end differently and some of the stuff sounds pretty repeated over and over again.
Instrument: Their instrument play is impressive, but not something that’s like oh my god this is the best thing ever but there are some parts in this song that kind of left me saying that. I’d have to honestly say with their instrument play on this song it kind of seems like it could be a hands down fighting song and a song that would be played during a wrestling or boxing show, maybe even an intro to a boxer or a wrestler. 

Rating: 5/5
