Rwake



Rwake is a sludge/doom band from Little Rock, Arkansas. Talk about bleak...that's one of the ways I'd describe Rwake. Brilliant also comes to mind. If you like your sludge doom abrasive, not Eyehategod abrasive but close, then these guys may be for you. The tortured screamed vocal duties are a tag team effort and are screamed or delivered with the sandpaper laden vocal chords of frontman C.T. I'd recommend these guys if you're into newer sludge acts like Kylesa or also if you're a fan of doom along the lines of Unearthly Trance. I will say that they may take a little getting used to, but once it clicks you'll keep coming back for more. These guys also have earned a place on my Top Albums of 2007 list with their newest chapter of sludge Voices of Omens.
