Album Review by Sovereign
ZAO is one of the bands which made metalcore. They started as a Christian metalcore band (remember that in –core genres the most of the bands follow an attitude or a belief) [straight edge, pagan, vegan, satanism, right wing, left wing etc], but after some members change they are not anymore, as the most of the band members are not considered as Christians anymore. All these years several people take place behind the instruments of ZAO, as I said, but the band keep a unique character and a familiar hardcore metal sound. Brutal vocals rotate with clean and every track has a different –core attitude. Death, punk, metal, post, thrash and heavy tones. This release is an album-compilation of metallic hardcore. There are some routes you have to follow in order to build a core something, and ZAO did it really well. An album for metal heads, an album for head bangers, this release is quite strong and excellent from the music structure side. A metal album that can satisfy everyone who likes hard and heavy music. Awake? is another solid addition to ZAO’s rich catalog. It’s not cracking or impressive, but fans will get everything they expect from a ZAO release.
