Signed with Killin-time records in 2003 in view to recording the debut album. After recording ‘When silence calls’ with Pete ‘Pee-wee’ Coleman (Rush, Paradise lost), the album was released by Carbon 13 records. Humanity’s sights looked upwards and next 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.
As reputation started to build it was time to record a new album. With the help of Killin-time now as management Humanity went to Goteborg, Sweden to record under the wing of Tomas England of Evergrey fame. The new album called ‘Illumination’ was a side step from the traditional metal sound that was heard on ‘When silence calls’. Due to musical differences a member was lost and a new name was adopted; Awake.
Awake swung strait into an extensive UK and European tour with Evergrey. Lion Music of Finland stepped up to release ‘Illumination’ worldwide and Awake embarked on another UK tour with Magnum.
The future looks bright as Awake will play festivals in the UK and Europe this summer with further tours lined up towards the end of the year.
Not long back from the bristol gig and had to write to say thank for the great gig tonight. You were fantastic again tonight. Loved the new songs too, can't wait to hear them on a track. From what I seen, looks like you got some more well deserved recognition from new fans tonight. Thanks for making my night a special one too. Good luck with the rest of the gigs. Here's too an AWAKE tour all of your own in the not to distant future I hope. xx
Can't wait to finally see you guys play again tonight. Its been far far too long. Do your thing and show them all what your made of, of course you'll hear me supporting you all the way lol. Have a good few days and I hope it will get you some more well deserved recognition. Hope there is more AWAKE goodies to buy tonight, think I have it all atm. See you there.
hiya all, please can we have a crime of passion added to your player? Would love to add it as a profile song. Shame u can't add any from the first album, there are some fantastic songs on that album. Will be seeing ya soon xx
Hey guys, thanks for your friendship. Great music, very well composed, "The price you pay" and "Disbelief" are my favs. Im happy to have listened to your music; for it is very inspirational. I wish you coninued success always. Be safe and God bless,
Hi all hope all is well with you all and that the 3rd album is nearly done. I can't wait to hear it, not a day goes by without me hearing at least one of your tracks from the previous 2 albums. You are in my car and my mp3 player Your music & lyrics means so much to me, you truely are a fantastic band who deserve so much success. Please let there be lots more gigs in the next 12 months .....and loads over here by me . Will be seeing you in november, ticket already in hand, can't wait. Even better if you can get a a headlining gig over here, i think support bands as a whole are a little ripped off when it comes to playing times. You guys are never on stage long enough.
Brilliant news!!!!! It will be great to have you back in Bristol again, can't wait to see you play again, especially with Andy and Steven on board. Bought my tickets for this gig 2 months or so ago now and wasn't gonna bother going ( it being bonfire night ) but I WILL be there for sure. Please please please will you play Illumination for me?!?!?!?! PLEASE? xx
