Wayfarer, Wake, Armed for Apocalypse
Three days after helping christen Decibel Magazine’s initial Metal & Beer Fest in Denver, the Colorado capital’s reigning black metal mystics Wayfarer and like-minded Scandinavian sound sympathizers Wake from Calgary, Alberta, break off for seven dates together – escorting Jack Frost to Eastside biker bar the Lost Well. The latter Canadians landed their sixth album and first with Metal Blade Records, Thought Form Descent, at No. 12 on Decibel’s year-end Top 40 amid phrases including “remarkable achievement,” “unrelenting intensity,” and “rage with washes of beauty.” – Raoul Hernandez
