Bodies in Wake is a Death Metal band from Mankato/St Paul area of Minnesota. Earlier on they started out as a Deathcore band but have since revamped their style. The band originated in October 2008. Formed by Vocalist Mark Walston II and Guitarist Devin Earlywine. Soon after Darrick Sellner joined on bass and Ian Rinn joined shortly after on Drums. After having tryouts with possible second guitarists the band chose Cole Gunther to fill out the Lineup. The band began writing their debut EP Entitled "Feast of Plagues." This cd was mid tempo deathcore but was well recieved by members of the Twin Cities metal community. Shortly thereafter the band was signed by local independant label The Fifth Moon!. The band then went on a minitour of the Midwest to promote the EP. The band then continued to be a popular act on metal shows around the Twin Cities soon after. The band then released a full length cd entitled "Apparitions." It is believed the band got the title name from the With Dead Hands Rising cd entitled "Behind Inquisition." On the cd the band truly sounded like they had developed a sound of their own. Apparitions features guest vocals from James Lee formally of Origin(band) on the track entitled "Blood is the Wine of Serpents." The band released the "Apparitions" on January 16th 2010 at Station4 in St. Paul, Minnesota. After releasing "Apparitions" Ian Rinn felt he could no longer help contribute to Bodies in Wake and quit the band.
