Bio
Like everyone who heard The Wake..s first album - knows, they are one mean-spirited band, brewing a tasty stew of killer melodies and death metal aggression. And what do you know, The Wake just upped the ante with their sophomore album - "Death-a-holic" (2005) contains killer riffage by the truckload and is heading your way now. .. Starting their career in 1998, in a small Finnish town of Karjaa as Bleeding Harmony (..bleed.. as in fingers on the neck of the guitar, and harmonies there sure are!) by brothers Lempinen, the band endured through the usual line-up changes and other hassle young bands have to deal with (such as alcohol). When it comes to the actual music, the band sure did their homework thoroughly with a slew of demos and promos, until Spikefarm Records finally decided it is about time to unleash the beast to the unsuspecting masses, complete with a name change to the more mature The Wake. As matters stand today, anyone into the Arch Enemy school of melodic death metal simply cannot walk past the band, for what The Wake so far lack in media exposure they quite simply make up for by sheer youthful energy. .. .. The Wake present a winning combination of ambition, dedication and ability and it should be but a matter of time until they..re conquering stages all over Europe. Your chance to check out a young, hungry metal band playing like pros is here - all death-a-holics take heed! .. .. ..- Discography- .. .. ..-Death-a-holic (2005)-.. .. ..1. Suicide Manual.. 2.

Whenever I Suffer.. 11. Here In Eternity (Japan bonus).. 12. Deja-Vu (Japan bonus).. .. Recorded and mixed between may - june 2003 by Tuomo Valtonen at SundiCoop Studio, Savonlinna Mastered at Finnvox Studios, Helsinki by Mika Jussila.. The Wake quits 2008 by growing apart and everyone leaves to each own direction. Other interest and lack of time to do more music with The Wake is maybe the main reason to this. Most of the guys have now new projects witch they feel more free to do what they really want to. .. "It was really good times when all was in to it and enjoyed doing music. Now over 10 years later after when we started playing, we still have 2 albums to listen and a lot of good memories to go back in those days. In the bottom of our hearts we thank everyone who supported us trough those years. Friends, families, all the bands we played with and of course the fans!" .. All the best, The Wake .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......»-(¯..v..¯)-».... ..The Wake.. ....«-(¯..v..¯)-«......
