bmurator US Psychedelic Doom / Post-Metal. Love the relaxed atmosphere here! Even when the music speeds up a little, it is all done in a very laid-back & mellow way... :) This is very much in contrast to the lyrics & serves to further highlight the despair in a way. Look forward to the rest of the album! Recommended!

Kirk Gauthier A fantastic little piece of stoner/doom that really makes me look forward to hearing more. Argonauta Records are really collecting a wealth of great stoner/doom bands, and Slow Wake is no exception. This song really dips into both sub-genres, too, opening and closing with the slow and heavy while filling the middle with some brilliant stoner rock. This one will definitely take you places. Favorite track: Controlled Burn.

about

Taken from the upcoming album "Falling Fathoms" out soon on Argonauta Records

"Slow Wake don’t seem to be shy about letting the guitars do a bit of dreaming... which rests organically alongside the corresponding heft." : JJ Koczan - The Obelisk

"Slow Wake weaves complex musical imagination with top-notch instrumental work that really comes alive..." : Steve Howe - Outlaws of the Sun

lyrics

The silence hangs, like smoke in the air - Isolation
Through the window, a ghost, I stare - Transfiguration
A path was chosen, but it's no longer there - Dissolution
A knot of anger, of fire and air - Self-Immolation

It's hard to sleep while this fire burns
It's hard to breathe this thick air
(With) No one to quench me, the cinders churn
Alone with smoldering glare

Burn

In ash awaken to familiar despair
Blistered and hollow
Somnambulation, just sit there and stare
In molten sorrow

Oh this tainted light
Burns

Now exothermic, a pyre become
Oh to this rage succumb
Perpetual ignition inside
A furnace opened wide

Burn, burn, alight through the night
Hold all of your anger tight
Nothing is left, so don't lose sight
Of your fire
Burn, burn scorching everything near
Enflame the atmosphere
Release control and touch the sun
With your fire

Like staring out into the abyss of Lake Erie at sunset on a few hits of acid as the sun burns the water.
