REVIEWS

SEA OF TRANQUILITY
AWAKE prove they are the next generation. 'Forever More' is most certainly worth parting with your hard earned cash for, metal's future is secure in these able hands.

KERRY DEVINE, BBC RADIO CAMBRIDGESHIRE -
I feel like I should be standing on a big cliff with the wind in my hair listening to this track. Whipping you into a musical frenzy AWAKE, Drift away ,I love this song, Epic track.

AL BARROW, BASS PLAYER, MAGNUM -
We have crossed paths with the guys in AWAKE a few times now. From meeting the guys they seem down to earth and quite restrained. This is not the case once these guys tread the boards. Very high standards of musicianship shines through to support well thought out vocals and melodies.
Simon Shedwell delivers passion and vocals of power from start to finish. You get a strong feel of a very accomplished rhythm section with this band. Solid but with just the right amount of flair and extravagance you want to hear from a live band. Steven & Andy Coles deliver a wall of controlled sound with a fierce energy and professionalism. Chris Le Mottée nails every thunderous note holding fast with intricate powerful drumming by Alex Townsend. All the soundscape held very nicely together with well placed and thought out keys by Craig Burkitt.
Having these guys hit the stage before us was a no brainer. Getting the crowd well worked up and in the mood for some good rock tunes. As I mentioned, true gents off stage but a force to be reckoned with when the stage lights go on and these guys do what they do best. Play it live and play it loud. The only way!.

DAVE EVANS - ART & SOUL MAGAZINE -
Vocally Simon Shedwell has an impressive raw voice, imagine Blaze Bayley melded with Steve Grimmett and you get a melting pot of colour and verbatim, that carries the song with passion and purpose. The guitars of Andy and Steven Coles are the perfect combination of melodic soaring solos and rythmic riffing. Powerhouse drummer Alex nails the whole thing down tight with some impressive fills verging on 'speed metal' at times. So to sum up, this is an impressive master class in all things melodic, symphonic and hard rock. A song that soars to the skies and takes us all on the ride of our lives."

BIOGRAPHY

The Band 'HUMANITY' was formed at Cambridge Regional College in 2000 where the six original members attended the Contemporary and Popular music course. The guys spent the next 3 years writing and performing songs which took them all around the UK metal scene. Demand led to the first EP being released in 2001, with a follow up in 2002. A reputation was quickly claimed for being a very professional live stage act with a huge wall of sound and energetic stage show.
In 2003 the debut album ‘When silence calls’ was recorded with Pete ‘Pee-wee’ Coleman (AC/DC, Rush & Paradise lost), and the album was released under the Carbon 13 label. The album received 8/10 across the board by reviewers. HUMANITY’S sights looked upwards as they played a series of high profile gigs with the likes of EVERGREY, BREED 77, DRAGONFORCE, BLAZE BAYLEY, JEFF SCOTT SOTO and CHILDREN of BODOM
In 2005, Humanity played Bloodstock open air with Paradise lost and Evergrey . Meeting Tom Englund (Evergrey) and striking up a friendship, started the next chapter for the band, new heights were just around the corner.
2007 Humanity changed their line up and name to AWAKE and the second album was recorded and produced by Tom Englund at his studios in Sweden. AWAKE went straight into an extensive UK and European tour with EVERGREY, with a huge crowd response every time. LION MUSIC based in Finland released ‘Illumination’ worldwide and AWAKE embarked on another UK tour, this time with MAGNUM.
The journey for the follow up started around a year after ‘Illumination’ was released. The bands former guitarist left and the group were keen to move on with new members when writing the new album. After thorough and extensive auditioning Andy Coles joined around June 2008 and the early ideas for the new album were formed. ‘Release Me’ was the first song written and came from a keyboard ‘riff’ that Craig came in with. Steven Coles joined the band by February 2009 and a break in writing was taken for the band to go out on the road with Magnum again. After this writing resumed and the album took shape over the next year or so. Pre-production took place in February 2010, final adjustments were made (including the inclusion of female backing vocals-Jennifer Hardy), and full recording took place April/May 2010. Over the next few months the album saw completion and 'Forever More' was released on Lion Music in October 2011.
