The Darkening - Awake [Underrated Old School Death Metal]



The Darkening is Belgian band that existed between 1993 and 1999.

Following a demo in 1995, they self-released their one-and-only full-length in 1996.

Awake is death metal with strong doom and black metal elements, and some tasty synth action.

The album has something of a Greek sound, it could certainly be filed next to early Rotting Christ.

Original copies are rare, but a bootleg version has recently hit the market.

You can preview this lesser-known gem in full below.
