Defiance

NeverWake covers a lot of ground between Rock and Metal. They have been described as “smashing Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium together.” Their style is a sinew of melodic vocals and dark guitar harmonies overtop a heavily distorted foundation. Through breakdowns and shredding leads underneath an eerie “burtonesque” theme, they strive to unite the genres they cover. NeverWake released their debut full-length album "VITALITY" in August 2011. Since then their online presence has rapidly grown from a local 2,000 fans to an international 87,000 fans. On Halloween of 2012 they released their brand new single “Cut You Down”. In just 2 years the self-managed group has taken a large step into the industry by shooting photos with experts such as Jeremy Saffer, sharing the stage with several national acts, and releasing professional music videos.

NeverWake's second release "SleepWalker" will be coming this October. This epic piece was crafted at Innovation Studios with producer/engineer Mike Ofca and mastered under legendary engineer Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound. "SleepWalker" is an amplification of NeverWake's haunting sound, immersing the listener with more instrumental complexity, including faster riffs, technical drum patterns and harmonized melodic vocality. But there's a twist…

This is the first step into NeverWake's semi-conceptual series of albums. Unlike most concept albums, the music can be felt and understood regardless of knowing the underlying story. Each song on "Sleepwalker" is open for individual interpretation, but also has a fitting place within the script. This gives listeners a chance to enjoy the music with or without knowing the developed themes. Walk with us in October as the story comes to life.
