"Emerging from deep in the backwoods of the American subconscious, Arkansas's Rwake represent the dirty south with their intensely unique style of acid-drenched metal. Hitting below the bible-belt in a narcotic-dazed fury of epic proportions, Rwake's thick, tar-black riffing and vicious male/female vocal attack plunge the listener head-first into the abyss as their transcendent melodies and blazing leads raise the spirit to the cosmos. Voices of Omens is a hostile explosion of hideously impure American metal which emanates an eerie and unsettling vibe, haunting in atmosphere and hallucinogenic in it's effect on the listener."

Anyone dig this band? I'm just getting into them, and damn it's good. Extremely bitter sludge/stoner stuff, sort of like Electric Wizard meets Beaten Back To Pure. I've just received "Voices of Omens", but I was wondering if "If You Walk..." is worth getting? From what I hear from their MySpace it definitely is; more of a direct Pantera groove thing going on in the riffs.

Cool, glad you like them. I just ordered the rest of their discography from Relapse, along with Minsk - "Ritual Fires of Abandonment". Good stuff.

Yeah, I just listened to Minsk, because of your thread in the BTBAM forum and they seemed fairly interesting, too.

I checked out the samples of new stuff from both Rwake and Minsk on relapse's page. Both seemed pretty promising, certainly enough to spark my interest. I wasn't totally sold on it but if people seem to say good things about it here I may just pick one of those up.

You're thinking of Periphery?

Rawke is awesome, they played the doomed to fall festival here in San Antonio I believe. Wish I could've seen them!

If you like Rwake, I recommend checking out the last Rune album (on willowtip). When I heard Rwake, it reminded me of Rune's slower moments.

Cheers man. Never heard of Rune. They don't show up on metal-archives.com, and the only Rune I know is Runemagick, heh.

Rune is fucking AWESOME, Antaeous, I highly suggest you check them out.
