🔥 Get ready to be electrified by Waking the Sleeper! A Wichita, Kansas based melodic metal band, fronted by Raven Le Rouge's vocalist! This prairie storm hit the metal scene in early 2017.
Their debut album '7 Deadly Sins' dropped in November 2018 and recently re-released under Sony Orchard 2024. This album promises an adrenaline-pumping experience that will leave you spellbound. A fusion of rock, metal, and alternative influences, this journey will take you through the darkest corners of the human psyche. The singles "Wrath" and "Greed" has been on several different charts, most recently charting BWNR charts.
🏆Waking the Sleeper has been honored to receive the following awards, the 2017 RRR Award for New and Upcoming Band of the Year and nominated for Vocalist of the Year. They even scored a nomination for the Home Away From Home Award at the 2018 Tulsa Music Awards, proving that their impact resounds far and wide.
The band's relentless tour schedule has seen them shredding stages across 14 U.S. states, leaving a trail of awestruck fans in their wake. They've stood shoulder to shoulder with metal giants like Drowning Pool and Otep, and have become festival favorites, melting faces at events like Rocklahoma and the Blue Ridge Rock Festival.
With a record deal from Rock Avenue Records USA in their back pocket, Waking the Sleeper welcomed fresh blood into their ranks in 2023: Miss Elizabeth on keys and vocals, Seth Williams wielding his lead guitar like a battle-axe, Will Akin thundering on bass, and Chris Wes Wesley pounding the drums like a warlord.
