Australian melodic rockers Awaken I Am are back with a sophomore effort 'Blind Love', the follow-up to the successful debut 'Shields and Crowns'. The band pair with producer Taylor Larson (Periphery) to create an emotional journey introspectively looking at relationships and personal struggle. The dual guitars have a little bite, but mostly painted over with piano and a unique production that seemingly ciphers out portions of the vocals. It is pop-infused modern rock that may be lost to metal fans or an alternative discovery for the consistent headbangers.
