The Swedes are out to set their own accents and enrich the modern heavy-core crossover with fresh ideas. Although the mixture of and the ingredients are well known: The Scandinavians' solution approaches work, convince and inspire. A band could hardly wish for more for their debut. AWAKE THE DREAMER are showing off their great skills and will continue to generate a lot of attention! Tip!” – Legacy
“With "Damaged Souls" AWAKE THE DREAMER deliver a debut album that is in keeping up with the musical sophistication of bands like ARCHITECTS or ADEPT and establishes them with their individual style in the European metalcore completely." – FUZE
““Damaged Souls” in my opinion is one of the best albums in the genre released this year. It is hard to believe that this is only their debut album and the fact that they only formed in 2015. It’s no surprise that AWAKE THE DREAMER is on their way towards the top with their distinguishing styles of Metalcore, Djent, and Post-Hardcore all mixed together. I promise you won’t be disappointed with this record. Masterpiece!" – Metal Temple
“In a nutshell: this is a very brilliant debut album.” – Lords Of Metal
“These rookies deliver” – Krachfink

“The Swedish AWAKE THE DREAMER demonstrates on Damaged Souls why their star is rising so fast. Those who love metalcore of the highest quality, will quickly embrace this band.” – White Room Reviews
