    Englisch:

    On their debut album, Gilgamesh picks up the heritage of the great Mesopotamian civilisation, vanished since millennia. Named after the Sumerian godlike King from the eponymous heroic epic, they open a new chapter of Oriental extreme music: In a world where society is submitted to the vengeful Gods, The Awakening addresses epic, myths and occultism from a bygone era. The 8 songs lead the listener into legendary battles, obscure ceremonies and mystical cults of gods. Driven by blastbeat-oriented drums, they build a bridge between pounding Death Metal and melodic Black Metal. Gloomy riffs encounter an epic roar. Filled with oriental elements, Gilgamesh’s music introduces the listener to a multi-faceted blackened Death Metal. The album’s sound comes from the Woodshedstudios of V. Santura (Triptykon, Dark Fortress) and blends together the limits of both genres. Fans of Keep of Kalessin, Behemoth and Hate will get their money’s worth with this newcomer.


    Deutsch:

    Auf ihrem Debutalbum greifen Gilgamesh das Erbe der seit langem untergegangenen mesopotamischen Hochzivilisation auf. Benannt nach dem gottgleichen sumerischen König aus dem gleichnamigen Heldenepos, schlagen sie ein weiteres Kapitel des orientalischen Extreme Metal auf: In einer Welt, in der sich die Gesellschaft den rächenden Göttern unterwirft, thematisiert The Awakening Epik, Mythik und Okkultismus eines längst vergangenen Zeitalters. Dabei führen die 8 Songs den Zuhörer durch sagenumwobene Schlachten, obskure Zeremonien und mystische Götterkulte.
    Getrieben von blastbeatorientierten Drums schlagen sie die Brücke zwischen stampfendem Death Metal und melodischem Black Metal. - Düsteres Riffing trifft auf epische Soundwand. Verpackt im orientalischen Gewand präsentieren Gilgamesh dem Zuhörer auf diese Weise vielseitigen blackened Deathmetal. Der Albumsound entstammt den Woodshedstudios von V. Santura (Triptykon, Dark Fortress) und lässt die Grenzen der beiden Genres fließend verschmelzen. Liebhaber von Keep of Kalessin, Behemoth und Hate werden bei diesem Newcomer voll auf ihre Kosten kommen.

lyrics

spawned from the orcus they are rising

the shield of the ancient scrolls was shattered by their blast

the hordes of the underworld unleashed in madness

hear the winds yell their battlecry


liars

concealed since the origin of time

anger grew up to dimensions of hate

an army runs over the land

brings bloodshed and death


born from blazing fire

the golden era of chaos will be back again

once doomed to be frozen in darkness forever

tomorrow will be a reign of havoc and demise


for aeons chained

in the depth of seas

the titans are evoked

free of never ending pressure

they crusade for domination


suffer

suffer atrocities and imposition

asnihilate

the existence of our brothers

we force into the ocean


they´re lost in a veil of desolation

for Aeons of Hate


into the orcus they are banished

a cage of frost will seal their disgrace forevermore

the gate of tartaros locked by the tides now

in total silence you may hear their horrid mourn


for aeons chained

in the depth of seas

the titans were evoked

their fate is never ending pressure

they are lost in the black chamber

forever
