About
The Wake were a Melodic Death Metal band from Karjaa, Finland. Formerly known as Bleeding Harmony while starting out in 1998, Upon joining record label Spinefarm Records in 2002 they had to change their name to The Wake and in 2008 the band split up, Not much more information is known about them. Their music resembles that of early Gothenburg melodic death metal acts such as At The Gates, In Flames, Gates Of Ishtar, The Duskfall, Sacrilege and Ebony Tears, Whilst sounding more modern. The Wake are very melodic, melancholic, fast, They make use of double kicks a lot, heavy melodic riffs and distinct harsh vocals. Despite them being heavy they are quite accessible and as they are a modern melodic death metal band they don't have the usual clean vocals that are present in newer melodic death metal bands. The Wakes lyrical themes touch on subjects such as Despair, Melancholy, Misery and Death and is evident by listening to their songs.
