Rwake is an influential force in the sludge metal scene, hailing from Little Rock, Arkansas. Formed in 1996, this band has a unique ability to fuse a raw and unyielding form of metal with elements of doom, southern rock, and experimental sounds, creating a signature auditory experience that is both heavy and transcendent. The band's relentless pursuit of pushing the boundaries of metal has earned them a dedicated following and critical acclaim within the heavy music community.

Their discography showcases an evolution in sound and complexity, with their most recent release being "Xenoglossalgia: The Last Stage of Awareness," a remastered edition of their earliest recordings originally from 1998, which surfaced in 2015. The album "Rest," which dropped in 2011, stands as a testament to their matured songwriting and dynamic range. Preceding releases like "Voices of Omens" in 2007, "If You Walk Before You Crawl You Crawl Before You Die" in 2004, and "Hell Is a Door to the Sun" in 2002 (reissued in 2011), showcase a band that's consistently honed its craft. Each release marks a chapter in Rwake's journey as a band unafraid to explore the depths of sonic intensity and existential dread.
