Dark Awakening

The melodic death band IRA TENAX have been making their mark on the German metal scene since 1999. In 2024, the quartet are not only celebrating their 25th anniversary, but are also releasing a new album 10 years after their last longplayer "Portrait Of The Fallen" from 2014!"Dark Awakening", the title of the new output, impresses with classic trademarks on its 11 tracks, both from the band itself and from melodic death metal as it has been present since the mid/end of the nineties.Melodic riffs meet brute drumming and versatile vocals to create an overall sound that sets the band pleasantly apart from the sheer endless abundance of bands in this genre, without having to reinvent the wheel or flirt with daring genre mixes. ,Dark Awakening" was mixed and mastered by Kai Stahlenberg at Kohlekeller - Studio B (e.g. Disbelief,Agathodaimon) and the album artwork was created by Ken Coleman."Dark Awakening" is a (melodic) death metal album as it should be. Brutal, technically andmusically sophisticated, varied and yet precise to the point.
