The new single by South Africa’s favourite gothic metal band is the lead song for The Awakening’s new album which will be released in March. The Carriage features members of The Mission and Coal Chamber, as well as a blistering guitar solo from Mark Gemini Thwaite, the guitarist for The Mission.
It’s also the first recording to feature The Awakening’s new bassist, Chela Rhea Harper, who used to play for Coal Chamber.
The band relocated to the United States in 2008 and have since released their eighth album, Tales of Absolution + Obsoletion. The band has a dedicated following here in South Africa since the release of Risen in 1997, which featured their rendition of The Sound of Silence which is now a cult classic.
