Voices of Omens ReviewSimilar to the last reviewer, I wasn't impressed by Rwake when I first listened. I heard about Rwake because I like a band that spawned from one of Rwake's previous members (Deadbird). When I listened to Rwake initially, I heard lots of screaming and some great guitar work. But isn't that like almost every metal band out there today? Then I listened more, and I listened closely.
I'm glad I gave them another chance. What I've found is a band that stands out in a genre of what can only be described as largely homogenous. Band after band spew out the same formula of stoner/metal/doom.
Rwake are often compared to Eyehategod, which is fair, but only upon first listen. Where Eyehategod is strictly punishing, both lyrically and sonically, Rwake lift you up high before crushing you. Their songs definitely have moments of melody that build nicely to setup the terrible moments, or to enhance their crescendos. Their lyrics cover topics like ghosts and cosmic destruction (this isn't necessarily unique...bands like Mastodon and High on Fire also cover subjects that are more fantasy-based...but it keeps them away from bands that are just screaming about vomit and piss and blood).
They have two singers, a man and a woman. What I thought was a man hitting higher-pitched screams, is actually the female lead singer. Her voice is like an instrument, like another guitar. The male lead singer has a great voice too, hitting the lows and reciting the more audible lyrics.
Every few years, a group comes along that keeps me interested in metal music. Sabbath in the 60s/70s, Metallica and Slayer back in the 80s, Mastodon, and now Rwake. Yes, I'd put them in that category, I think they're that good.
Of course, that's my opinion. But give them a shot. And if you think, "I've heard this before" or "lots of screaming, but where is this going?", then listen again. When I gave Rwake discs to my buddy, he had the same reaction as the last reviewer, and that I had initially. But he called me before the Rwake concert this month and said he's going, and that he can't stop listening to them.
Rwake have definitely elevated the genre.
Voices of Omens OverviewEmerging from deep in the backwoods of the Americansubconscious, Arkansas's RWAKE represent the dirty south with theirintensely unique style of acid-drenched metal. Hitting below the bible-beltin a narcotic-dazed fury of epic proportions, RWAKE's thick, tar-blackriffing and vicious male/female vocal attack plunge the listener head-firstinto the abyss as their transcendent melodies and blazing leads raise thespirit to the cosmos. Voices of Omens is a hostile explosion of hideouslyimpure American metal which emanates an eerie and unsettling vibe; hauntingin atmosphere and hallucinogenic in it's effect on the listener.--This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.
