The Meaning Behind Awakening
While Eternal explored internal conflicts, Awakening amplifies the call for resistance and unity, reflecting the turbulent times we live in. The band states; “‘Awakening’ takes the torch from ‘Eternal’—exposing how the thirst for power leads to war, despair, and the birth of more hatred.
It speaks against social injustices, gender violence, and oppression. But in all this darkness, we refuse to surrender. We embrace reality, we fight together, and we carve our own paths. That is the essence of ‘Awakening.’”
