⋘WAKE's track "Thirst" can be found on a recent split LP with Dephosphorus, who also happen to appear on this fifth installment of The Sociopathic Mixtape Series! The split album was released through 7 Degrees Records on April 19, 2012 in both vinyl and digital formatting. Details on the physical version are as such:

Wake / Dephosphorus 7" EP
-heavy cardbord sleeve
-incl. Download Code
-comes with poster-inlay
-black wax

[Recorder 10.10.11 by Colin Marston at Menegroth - The Thousand Caves (Queens,NYC)]

Here is a short review that serves as part of the release notes for the EP on both Bandcamp pages (Wake & 7 Degrees Records):

"Sometimes the most brilliant gambits are the most obvious. Case in point, the excellent and ascendant 7 Degrees Records grabbed its two foremost bands -- Wake and Dephospohorus -- and told them to each record enough music to fill one side of a 7-inch. The result was an absolutely scintillating pairing that proved to be a pivot from Wake's Leeches (which graced last year's list) to Dephosphorus' dominating Night Sky Transform. Dephosphorus had backed off the artistry of Axiom for something more primal and vicious, which put them firmly in Wake's realm, giving the pairing a wonderful balance from side to side. This is absolutely everything you want in a split experience: two bands at the top of their game that clearly enjoyed the idea of working together."

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ BAND BIOGRAPHY & INFORMATION ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

WAKE are a grindcore band from Calgary, Canada. Formed in the fall of 2009 they released Surrounded By Human Filth 7" in the spring of 2010. In support of the record the group completed 2 west coast US tours in 2010 as well as playing extensively around Western and Central Canada.

2011 saw the band release their first full-length "Leeches" on Germany's 7Degrees Records, tour the mid-west and eastern US and Canada, as well as record at NYC's Menegroth Studios with Colin Marston (Krallice, Dysrythmia, etc.) behind the knobs. Those tracks became a split 7" with Greece's Dephosphorus in April 2012, out again on 7Degrees Records.

With an extensive US tour completed in the summer of 2012 as well a foray into Europe in the fall, which included Bloodshed Fest, WAKE have released another split 7" in the spring of 2013, this time with Saskatoon's thrashy grinders Rehashed, out on Boston's Give Praise Records.

Their 2nd full-length LP "FALSE" is out in July 2013, in a collaboration between 7Degrees Records and Handshake Inc, just in time for WAKE's 2nd European tour.

We'd like to specifically thank the entire band, as well as Simon (of Keitzer, etc. fame & label owner) from 7 Degrees Records; everyone involved with The Mixtape Series from day one (this includes WAKE & Simon!) and who have made it so much easier, less stressful, and simply an all around great experience collaborating with like-minded individuals. We look forward to continuing to work with all of you in the near future.
