SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: UNTIL I WAKE – RENOVATE

Until I Wake

UNTIL I WAKE
RENOVATE
FEARLESS RECORDS

Until I Wake is a blend of rock and metal influences, incorporating emotional and introspective themes into their lyrics. The band’s sound typically features powerful vocals, heavy guitar riffs, and melodic elements that resonate with a specific listener. This album, Renovate, explores topics like personal struggles, relationships, and self-discovery, heavy on mental health themes, but damn, is their aesthetic good.

Emerging in 2019 and… is already in need of a renovation… opening with tracks like “Catacombs”, bringing a collision of genres, and opening with rap vocals, which is fine. It’s like a generational twist on nu-metal. As mentioned before, with emotional and introspective themes on and on, this piece caters to a Gen Z crowd… with thick, anxiety-inducing lyrics…  it’s gonna be ok.

About the Author
Victoria Love-Rainbow
I am an avid connoisseur of music experiences but never had the courage to share them until now. My inspiration comes from the '90s alternative and punk rock music I grew up listening to. Bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Silverchair, Eve 6 and Everclear shaped my worldview and taste in music. I want to capture some of their energy and spirit in my stories. Thanks for checking out my bio and my work!
