Review by Mellotron Storm
PROG REVIEWER

DREADNOUGHT are a four piece from Colorado who formed in 2012 , releasing their debut in 2013. I just reviewed their sophomore album "Bridging Realms" from 2015, and "A Wake In Sacred Waves" is the followup to that from 2017. And there's not a lot of difference between these two albums, although I feel they have decreased the flute, piano and sax this time, while increasing the extreme vocals. So yes I do prefer "Bridging Realms" but both of these albums are so well done.

I like that this band is a little different with those female harsh vocals from the guitarist. She adds clean vocals as does the female keyboardist. The bass is either buried in the mix or just meant to follow along quietly. The drumming is good, and he adds sax. We get four long tracks at just under 52 minutes. My biggest surprise was discovering that this band is under Eclectic here at PA. I just thought that metal based bands would be in one of the three metal based sub-genres. This still surprises me. They are associated with the Doom Metal scene and we get down-tuned guitar on here along with those growls. Not your typical Eclectic band.

I'm not going to say a lot about the music. I do like the atmospheric sections where they just seem to trip along. I like the wordless clean singing. The growls just aren't my thing here, and with them becoming even more prominent, I have to give back to back 3 star ratings for the only two albums I own by this band.
