Devouring Ruin

by WAKE

supported by

starvynth In around 45 minutes of runtime, Devouring Ruin comes across as a fairly expansive and modern death metal record that touches on various extreme styles with great success. It's not a unique sound but it is certainly unexpected for a formerly grindcore band to have evolved so much that their longer compositions are now their most riveting ones.

Fraz This is my favourite album of 2020, it has to be my AOTY (Edit - I think, there have been so many good releases!?). What a step up for WAKE, they've been heading towards a great album but this surpassed my expectations and genuinely surprised me. The scope of ambition and sheer brilliance in song crafting is magnificent to behold. Above all, it's just nailed it for me, my kind of music delivered in exactly the way I needed to hear it.

Grindy007 Great atmospere and vocals the gloom and heaviness is a perfect 10/10!! Favorite track: This Abyssal Plain.

Decibel Magazine- "9/10"

No Clean Singing- " Wake have managed to unleash a surprisingly ambitious and remarkably intense album, and one that will keep listeners invested until the moment it closes out — whatever hollowed-out shell of themselves may be left"
