Rwake - Rest
I’ve never seriously listened to Rwake prior to this release, but the stuff I’ve heard never impressed me. Now that I’ve sat through an entire album of their music, I’m still not a fan. In fact, once I’m done with this review, I’m deleting this from my computer and never listening to them again. They don’t suck, but listening to their music made me feel like I was wasting my time. The music meanders all over the place. On top of the meandering music is a singer that sounds like he should be fronting a Hardcore band. He’s got no melody. All he does is shout and that puts him at odds with the music. I can live with meandering music if they have a vocalist that sort of makes things interesting, but this felt like I was at a protest rally outside a Hippy jam festival. Somebody was yelling at me about something while loud music played in the background. Ultimately, I didn’t care about either enough to stick around.

This is disappointing, but I guess I’m not too surprised…

The recent deluge of bad Burzum makes me wonder what might have been if Varg hadn’t gone to prison. Was the the downward musical slide inevitable, and just delayed by the fact that he wasn’t really able to put out albums in the klink? Or is it solely because he needs the cash and is rushing to put out everything he can think of? I’d like to hope for the latter, but the history of metal in general suggests the former.

First I’d like to say that I never obtained a copy of Songs of Sorrow. Nor did I ever get the privledge to hear the final product. I parted ways with Larry Sapp and the band shortly before the release for personal reasons. I am still friends with Demian Heftel but I have not spoken with Tony Laureano in years. Like you, I preferred the “L.S.D” demo and sound. I did hear a couple of tracks from “S.O.S” and I agree that although a very good production, the sound lacked the mighty sound that was once Astaroth. Anyway, my influences have always been the thick, heavy and raw “Swedish” style and sound. For those that care, I played a Charvel/Jackson bass through an Ampeg SVT. And I loved bands like Dismember/Carnage, Entombed, Edge of Sanity, etc… Keep em’ tuned down and stay heavy \”/
