Background information über 'Woke'

Legion's "Woke" delivers a crushing metalcore assault that pulls no punches in its exploration of religious hypocrisy and societal decay. The American outfit crafts ten tracks of unrelenting aggression, blending bone-crushing breakdowns with melodic interludes that showcase their technical prowess. From the opening salvo of "The Fear" to the haunting closer "The Roach", the band demonstrates a keen understanding of dynamics, knowing exactly when to unleash their full fury and when to let the tension build. The album's thematic content dives deep into corruption within religious institutions, with tracks like "Priest" and "Disclosure Of Sin" serving as scathing indictments of abuse of power.

The production courtesy of Steamhammer/SPV gives these songs the weight they deserve, with every breakdown hitting like a sledgehammer while maintaining clarity in the more intricate passages. Songs like "He Became Death" and "Kneel Before Order" showcase the band's ability to weave complex arrangements without sacrificing the raw emotion that drives their message. The vocal delivery ranges from throat-shredding screams to more melodic passages, creating a dynamic listening experience that keeps you engaged throughout the album's runtime.
