Rest

bcb723 "Rest" is just a devastating album of Southern doom from 2011 that casts a wide shadow on many of today's current artists. How can you argue with the emotional weight of these sludge dirges? Listen to the closer "Was Only A Dream" and Rwake will make you a believer. Favorite track: Was Only a Dream.

Jarak The trees are energy, apparently. I'm not sure what genre Rwake mostly fit to, but it's not one I'm a fan of. Rwake specifically, however, seem to have added to or tweaked that just enough to make an album I quite enjoy.

raffytaffy89 If you fall asleep while listening to this record, it will give you nightmares. Favorite track: It Was Beautiful but Now It's Sour.

Shepard With Rest, Rwake continue to masterfully channel the humid, grimy despair inherent in the southern United States. Themes of God, Satan, dreams, ghosts, and wife-beating can be heard swirling under the hypnotic heaviness of their music. I feel dirty after listening to this album, which is a good thing. Favorite track: The Culling.

about

Arkansas’ backwoods doomsayers RWAKE awaken from their slumber and unleash their long-awaited new album Rest. Their first new material in over 4 years, Rest is less a set of songs than a perpetually evolving, deeply emotional set of missives heralding the end of times. Rest is nothing short of epic, and not only one of 2011’s finest albums but one of the finest progressive/doom/sludge metal records ever.

about

Rwake Little Rock, Arkansas

"The way of the South" has resonated through southern music for generations and "the way", it seems, for southern metal bands is often raw, to-the-point, unfiltered expression; unflinching delivery oozing with conviction. The southern bands just mean it a bit more. And in that tradition, like EYEHATEGOD and BUZZOV*EN before them, RWAKE fucking "mean it" and don't care what you think. ... more
