Dark Awake was formed in 2001 by Shelmerdine. In 2005 the self-released demo CD was released entitled "Bleeding Silence" (currently unavailable) with Elina P. on ethereal vocals. Dark Awake participated in postwave.gr's CD compilation "Audiobook 1" (released in 2006) with a cover on the Celtic lulaby "All The Pretty Little Horses" which demonstrated ethereal vocals and a mystical background. Debut CD entitled "Meseonas" is a mystical avant-garde art with majestic/pompous feeling explores the macabre fantasies from the nocturnal macrocosm of imagination. The music of Dark Awake is not just a piece of art...it is the ritual of life as a sacrifice of will towards the totality of infinite possibility"
