Groove MetalHeavy MetalPower Metal
Los Angeles-based Rude Awakening traces a path from traditional heavy and power metal into heavier, groove-driven territory, with a sound that has toughened and thickened over time without abandoning its melodic instincts. Formed in 2021, they carry forward the city's long tradition of hard-hitting commercial-adjacent metal.
