When
it comes to grindcore, few bands these days can top the overwhelming
barrage of wrath and aggression unloaded on the listener and or
spectator by Calgary’s WAKE.
In a career spanning mere seven years, this Canadian unit of aural
assassins have brought terror and war to crowds all over the northern
hemisphere, destroying venues across Europe and North America on
multiple occasions and establishing themselves as an infamous and
unstoppable killing machine in live performances. The band has made such
a name for themselves in the North American underground that they have
been invited on multiple occasions to play big events like Maryland Deathfest, Obscene Extreme and
tour Europe on multiple occasions. In this sense the band’s name seems
to match perfectly with their nature within the live environment: leave
nothing standing - leave everything in an endless wake of terror and
destruction. But WAKE is far
from being only and aural cataclysm restricted to the live environment,
quite the opposite, as the band has released a string of albums and
splits that speak for themselves, and are just another horrifying
statement of the violence and sheer aggression which nests inside the
soul of this band.
