about

The track “Awake” from our concept album “rEvolve", but in a new version featuring the talented Anna Murphy, the multi-instrumentalist and vocalist of Cellar Darling & ex hurdy-gurdy player and vocalist of Eluveitie. Anna lends to “Awake” her unmistakable vocal magic and a whole new level of awesomeness with the addition of the ever-mysterious hurdy-gurdy.

In Stephany's words:

“Awake is a song about hope and recovery, taken from the 3rd and last chapter of our concept album ‘rEvolve’.
With its very proggy atmosphere, we had no doubt that Anna would be the perfect fit for joining us on this song. She brought in her personal touch, contributing the hurdy-gurdy and her exceptional vocal harmonies.
We previously had the chance to work with Anna on the recording of our first EP in 2019, and then toured with the band she fronts - Cellar Darling in 2022. She, as well as the rest of Cellar Darling, have been an inspiration to us over the years, so we were honoured when she agreed to do “Awake” with us.“

lyrics

I’m still awake
Under the same vision
Illusive

Staring at the hole
I can’t cross

Harshness
Despair
Is all I got
Tainted by the past
And taunted by the light

I know it’s time
To break the cycle

And yet, like every day
I try to stand and save myself
Save myself

Climbing the hopeless slope
With the desire to get away with it
Get away with it

I know it’s time
To break the cycle

Slowly I wake up in here
And it’s the same again
It’s the same again

Awaking
Trying
Failing
This is the same
like every day
Every day

Believing
Rising
Falling
This is my world
In the endless cycle
Endless cycle

The exit is so hard to find
But I know I will not back down

Maybe this world isn’t mine
I can clearly see its decline
But I will always choose to fight
‘Cause every step deserve to be try

Now it’s time to break the cycle
Now it’s time to enter the next one

This is the first progressive metal album I've loved in quite some time. Phenomenal songwriting, instrumental virtuosity, and stellar vocal performances make this one of the most unique and strongest releases of 2020. Holdeneye
