Another fine release from metalcore's best act...
Marc | Central Valley, California | 11/09/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I will begin by saying that I have an obvious bias towards the longtime metalcore machine that is Caliban. I've been a fan since SHADOW HEARTS, and have really appreciated the diversity of each album which has followed since that release. This is a band that has not been afraid to take chances regardless of criticism and unworthy comparisons to lesser acts.

I wrote a review on THE UNDYING DARKNESS that stated that that album would be the album for which they were going to be judged by. It didn't receive any video or (obviously) radio airplay. More importantly, it received no praise and therefore poor sales. Sadly, the likely-hood of the average heavy music fan picking up THE AWAKENING is slim because of all of this.

If you don't hear this album than you are truely missing out. This is a return to the heavier sounding Caliban with a lot more scream than sing. Yes, Andy really grabs the reins on this one, (displaying THE BEST "SCREAM" VOCALS IN THE BUISNESS), while the "clean" vocals that Dennis does mix in are better than ever. And I've said it before but it bears repeating...NO ONE can break-it-down like Caliban!

A much better release than THE UNDYING DARKNESS, I would love for music lovers teetering on whether or not to buy this album to take my non-partisan word for it...This is one of the better releases of 2007!"
