AltHard Rockers Awaken release “Behemoth” with The Label Group

ALTERNATIVE/HARD ROCK BAND: AWAKEN have signed with The Label Group and are distributing via INgrooves; bringing to their fans both old and new with their single/video “Behemoth”. Awaken brings their deeper-reaching lyrics to the higher level of connecting the listener to the meaning in melody, rhythm, beat, and words. As “Behemoth” shows their skills in a message melding with structure, it is undeniable that their fans reflect the same emotion and are ready for more of what Awaken has created and are ready for what is coming. Powerful rock music that fans relate and rock out to.

The song Behemoth came about because we wanted an introduction to the new record that would be gripping and attention-grabbing with its musical structure and lyrics. We wanted a heavier low-end and ‘in your face’ kind of vibe with raw thought provoking lyrics. The song sets the foundation for a lot of the theme of the new album dealing with inner monsters and overcoming certain struggles everyone must face.” – Awaken
