Awaken (The Blood Divine album)

Awaken is the debut album by the British gothic doom band The Blood Divine. It was released on Peaceville Records in 1996. The album continues the concepts Darren White had begun developing in his final EP with Anathema, Pentecost III, through very little reliance on a chorus and occasionally psychedelic progression as evidenced in the intro to "So Serene".
