TERRORIZER Magazine
" Portugal may not be renowned for being a hot bed of metallic talent but it may just have an ace up its sleeve with the fantastically named W.A.K.O. ( We Are Killing Ourselves) who have served up an appetizing slice of Lamb of God-styled clinical metal.It doesn’t reinvent the wheel but what it does do is get your head banging with a healthy blend of foot to the floor trash savagery coupled with a knack of finding melodies that will stay in your head for weeks. Great stuff. " 7,5/10

Kerrang Magazine
…”Carousing Portuguese Metallers wreak havoc . One of the few decent extreme metal acts to emerge from Portugal, WAKO are another band to have bided their time before unleashing their particular brand of carnage. Their debut is a rich and nicely matured blend of furious metallic riffage “… KKK

Loud Magazine
…”A intensa actividade ao vivo e a refinação de ideias musicais e os seis anos da sua existência vale hoje aos WAKO um grau de notável qualidade , Deconstructive Essence é a prova tangível da desenvoltura técnico-agressiva deste quinteto nacional”(…)…”Deconstructive Essence promete figurar na linha dos melhores trabalhos nacionais de 2007, tal é a essência constructiva de que os WAKO são feitos. 8/10

Concrete
..."Definitely a band to keep an eye on if you’re into inventive modern Extreme Metal. The band shows they have a nack at writing very decent material, and in my book the combination of catchy hooks and varying vocals works a charm...which is why the album gets the high rating it deserves"... 90/100

Abcdaemonium
…”O resultado não poderia ser mais completo. Somos inteiramente absorvidos pelas altas rotações, com que a banda de Almeirim aborda cada tema,…”5/6

Subba-Cultcha
…”With such a obviously song-structured album, it’s clear that either the band are equipped with a knowledgeable A&R guy, or they simply know exactly what UK metal fans want to hear”(…)…”Because WAKO (We Are Killing Ourselves) are one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets, that’s why - and they will quite happily shit all over any pre-conceptions you have about their native home, and then make you eat it…”4/5

Heavymetalpt
…”Sem dúvida, um dos melhores lançamentos de bom metal nos últimos anos em Portugal e não só”…8.5/10

Kronic It.
..."40 minuti ben gestiti di sano “intrattenimento” capaci di farci conoscere una band dotata ed accattivante. Piacevole sorpresa per chi – come il sottoscritto – non sopporta più questa scena spremuta come un limone"...4/5

Underworld Magazine
…”passeiam-se desaforadamente pelas fronteiras entre um Death Metal balanceado e sonoridades exploradas por uns Lamb Of God ou outras propostas de renome actual”…3.6/5

Roomthirteen
…”It’s a good, solid metal album with very little filler and some truly outstanding tunes. The band could easily hold their own in an American market I just hope Casket Music can get them there. There is real potential in this 5-piece it all boils down to the band’s work ethic and willingness to go beyond”(…) The production is near on perfect for this type of riff driven music. The bottom end really hits you as the double bass and twangy strings play in unison….”10/13

A Trompa
“…Potente, assombroso ou competente, são apenas alguns dos adjectivos alinhavados de repente para caracterizar "Deconstructive Essence" dos W.A.K.O.”…

Organ magazine
…”Crunching muscled–up brutal stomping modern growl-metal from Portugal for people who like it heavy and brutal and stomping and growling

zykasylum
“…aqui ouve-se Metal poderoso muitas vezes puxado a ferros da linha hardcoriana é certo,mas a sonoridade é bem mais Death-Metal daquela moderna dura como o aço e pesada como um lutador de Sumo. São constituidos por musicos muito competentes que sabem o que querem e melhor fazem-no muito bem. Ao longo da escuta do album nota-se as ideias fervilhantes da banda seja a nivel instrumental seja a nivel vocal…”

Glasswerk
..."From the just disgustingly good verse sound of ‘Nihilist war god’ to the maths lesson on speed of the aptly titled ‘Paradox essence of deconstructiveness’ Wako are ready built for destruction and hell-bent on releaseing a fight amongst the pit"...

The Gauntlet
..."never heard of this band from Portugal before, but they are a big surprise. They play an enjoyable and energetic thrash metal with a powerful dose of death metal. It’s not quite deathcore, but it’s definitely a record for fans of Job For A Cowboy and Lamb Of God. "Deconstructive Essence" has all the incredients for a record needed to create the natural balance between madness and brutality. The Portuguese people must be proud of this band"...

East Coast Romper
..."Portugal’s premiere death metal outfit W.A.K.O. (We Are Killing Ourselves) have just launched a long range death core warhead that, at times, brought to mind a slower, chunkier version of early Sepultura. Downtuned, mid paced riffs paint a bleak landscape that’s dotted with raw vocals and speedy kick drums. Vicious shit with clean production. Casket Music has been hit or miss with their new releases but they scored a definite hit with W.A.K.O"...



Biography W.A.K.O (We Are Killing Ourselves) were born in 2001 in Almeirim, Portugal, when a circle of friends with similar musical influences, set out to create their own brand of storming metal music. The first demo was ‘Outrage’ was recorded in 2002 and since then, the band has reached a wider audience and has been able to establish a great relationship with those who have become the bands followers.

By 2004 W.A.K.O recorded an independent EP by the name of Symbiotic Existence, produced by Daniel Cardoso (ex-SiriuS, ex-Re:aKtor, Head Control System). Then began a new crusade on the Portuguese music landscape. With four years of existence and over 150 live performances, sharing stages with (Hed)pe, Ramp, Dagoba,Moonspell and participating in many summer festivals throughout the country, W.A.K.O have become recognized and respected as one the hardest working bands in Portugal.

The band took some time off to reflect and start recording their debut album at Ultrasound Studios with Daniel Cardoso. The partnership with Daniel Cardoso has been successful over the years and culminated in a 2007’s “Deconstructive Essence” album. The band display a fine tuned metal machine of raucous and raw intensity, and with a polished production and heavy live work schedule ahead they are destined for an audience far outreaching the borders of their homeland. Summer tour planned across Europe including the UK. Along with this changes the band sign a 2 year contract with the independent Casket Music and Deconstructive Essence was released Worldwide in August 27th 2007.The album first edition Sold Out in Europe . In 2008 WAKO toured in United Kindgdom and USA as Headliners. a new album is comming.

What's up S.M.I. Friends and Family,
We are excited to have been chosen to advance in the Project Independent National Metal Showcase. Now, we need your help to continue. Beginning December 1st, a online voting competition on www.projectindependent.net will determine which bands will advance for an opportunity to become the Featured Artist for 2009.
The Featured Artist receives a 60 day national tour, $5,000, CD manufacturing, custom merchandise from Rocky Mountain Hardcore, free gear and tech support, and more!
These are all things that S.M.I. needs greatly. So, help us advance everyday in December. Tell everyone you know about this. Let's show the world what three crazy southern boys from the Mountains of Northwest Georgia can accomplish with a little help. This IS a popularity contest, and we are going to be facing off against a lot of really good bands from larger cities. So, we are at a disadvantage. But, with your help we can win.
On Point!
