Now with “The chase” we witness some impressive song-writing, the band drops a bomb on the melody here. “Red wine regret” sounds funky, whereas “Blind Love” laden with heavy guitar chugs helps out to deliver a power chorus. The album opens up with “Walk my way”, which exuberates with a radiant power and sooth out as a gush of emotions mellows it down. Adam has an impressive vocal range and showcases his style as he juggles rap, with an occasional falsetto and ties it up beautifully with his melodies on the choruses.
Be it for the staccato guitar riffs that fill up the songs, or the electronic elements, the songs do get pretty catchy at the chorus. The songs have upbeat soundscapes, even though the songs speak of struggles with ones past. The band however takes a bold step while shaping its music as it pushes itself to the realms of Pop-Rock. Right at the outset the band’s sound is very different from what I’ve heard over the years, a far cry from the traditional alt-Rock. Predominant in the Australian scene, the band bagged a worldwide deal with Victory records at the end 2016. Having toured with Chiodos, The Devil Wears Prada and Emarosa in the past, the band made headlines when they appeared at the So What Festival in Dallas. Awaken I am, raised to fame when their debut album “Shields and Crowns” reached the #3 spot on I-tunes Metal chart.
Alternate rockers from Gold coast of Brisbane, Awaken I am, are set to release their sophomore album, “Blind Love” on the 29 th of September under Victory records.
