Eight years has gone since the shocking birth of the band that should turn out to be the least wanted but most needed addition to a seemingly weakened Norwegian metal scene, blending thrash metal with hardcore, Norwegian rawness with international standards. With the joined forces of bands such as Immortal, Red Harvest, Aura Noir, Lamented Souls and others, WAKLEV?REN is now back for yet another attack with their latest album ?De D?des Arkiv?! With the critically acclaimed EP ?Brutal Agenda? in 2005, WAKLEV?REN soon were renowned as a monstrous band not only in the studio, but also through a series of 110% dedicated and radically asskicking concerts, which is perhaps the bands major force. Following the second EP ?Tiden Lager Alle S?r?, their renomm? as a no compromise, fist in the face live act prevailed, and for those who still haven?t experienced the share brutality of WAKLEV?REN, the time might have come.
