This is not the first time I have written about
Wretchedpain and it certainly will not be the last time you hear about them, with the bands release of their killer new track,
The Great ReAwakening. The track is four minutes of brutal groovy death metal, featuring none other than
ex-Chimaira front man Mark Hunter sharing the microphone with Joey Glacken on vocals. The track starts with a deliciously heavy groove followed by a blast from Hunter, reminding me a lot of the
Impossibility of Reason days (which is a very good thing). The
instrumentals throughout the track are also top notch. The guitar work is
flawless; providing a brutally heavy, yet impossibly groovy framework
for the song to build off. Furthering along the brutality was the
awesomely executed drumming throughout the track. If this wasn't already
enough I also absolutely loved the lyrics throughout the song, drawing
on themes of generational laziness, apathy, and enlightenment or lack
there of. Check out the song below and make sure to check the band out
if you like what you hear! Get touring info and download music from

- I was already excited to hear new material from Wretchedpain, but combined with the added bonus of Mark Hunter on the track; you got yourself a volatile and lethal combination. Any attempt to not like this song
is "FEEBLE AT BEST" (and if you didn't get that reference listen to the goddamn song).
My Verdict

5/5 - Pure Canadian Metal at its finest!
