It's been a productive year for Wake, from Alberta, CA. The band released a full-length earlier this year: Devouring Ruin, and they're back with three new songs on the Confluence EP, which will release digitally on October 20 and on limited vinyl on Jan. 15, 2021, courtesy of Translation Loss Records.

“We feel like the momentum of Devouring Ruin propelled us forward into this record,” the band says in a statement. “We had so many ideas and movements we wanted to work with when we were writing Devouring, and there was just a whole lot of ground we didn’t get to cover. Confluence is our place to carry on with some of the experiments we had composed and flesh them out into something concise. The recording feels like a whirring between two separate dimensions; some kind of clarity and some kind of shifted space. All of us wanted to try a whole bunch of different things and we did our best to blend them together into something still purely forceful, but that will hopefully bring to bear other questions for listeners.”

TRACK LISTING:

1. Disparity and Chaos
2. Beyond Empyrean
3. Entropic Cascade Failure

Translation Loss (2020)

Wake started out as a grindcore act with a lot of Nasum influences. Nasum being one of my favorite grind bands that was never a big issue for me. It did not take very long to find a voice of their own though. The band added more and more sludge influences on each release. An odd combination, but it worked for them. … Read more

Misery Rites
Translation Loss (2018)

Wake is a Canadian grindcore act. One of those grindcore-acts that have taken care of me not growing tired of the genre. The unrelenting speed and anger are good fun, but can get a bit samey fast. This is where the great bands differentiate themselves from the mediocre ones: they know how to keep things interesting. Wake is one of … Read more
