Voices of Omens is the fourth full-length album release by Rwake. It is their first album released through Relapse Records.[1] It has a total playing time of 59 minutes and 6 seconds.
The vocals are of a varied Death Metal style, varying from high shrieks to low growls and roars.The music is monolithic, but is more fast-paced and up-tempo than Doom Metal.The bass intertwines with the guitar, but is neither inaudible or emphasized.
Pitchfork described it as "ingenious, forward-thinking metal." AllMusic called it "one of 2004's best and most intriguing heavy metal records".[2]
