RWAKE FANS: KNEEL BEFORE NAPALM CHRIST

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011 at 3:00pm by

At this point I really have no idea if we’re ever gonna get a new Rwake album or what. If they’re done, well, they certainly went out on a high note with 2007′s Voices of Omens (which I assume you all have, and shame on you if you don’t, and you can download it for under nine bucks here). And if they ever do come back, well, hoo-ray for metal!

In the meantime, it turns out that Rwake guitarist Kiffin has a new band, Napalm Christ — which might be the single greatest band name ever, by the way — with members of Shitfire and Shredded Corpse, both bands who also have ridiculously good monikers and both bands who, I am sad to admit, I’m not familiar with (although my gut tells me that Grim Kim might be). And now Napalm Christ have released a demo of one song, “The Seasons of Dirt,” which you can check out below.

It’s a good song, and bodes well for what I’m assuming will eventually be a full album (the band’s Facebook page currently lists Frozen Dawn Records as their label). Yep, I bet it’s only a matter of time until Walmarts all across America are stocking Napalm Christ albums on their shelves.

    Gravy said in an interview recently that they’re going to start up in the studio again right around now.

    I hear the new songs are absolutely crushing. Can’t wait for new Rwake.

    I initially thought Napalm Christ was a mashup of Napalm Death and Rotting Christ. I was disappoint.

    RWAKE are playing some shows with Dragged Into Sunlight overseas in a couple months, then hopefully a new record!

    Started off a little like HoF…that threw me a bit. Still a good song, just not what I was thinking at that first riff.
