WAKING HOUR

Myspace Layout Generator by LayoutGeneratorMyspace.com



Waking Hour rose from the ashes of the Spokane WA prog metal band Eightfold Path. Guitarist Mike Calvert and singer Aaron Potter relocated to Seattle and joined original 8FP drummer Tony Duncan to reform the band under the new monicker. The current lineup of Waking Hour now includes Bassist Juan "Fish" Pena and Keyboardist Keith Brown.



Since their inception, Waking Hour has carved out their unique niche in the vast Progressive Metal landscape. By concentrating on writing smart, well arranged, yet technical songs, the band has strayed away from the overindulgence normally associated with the genre. At times Waking Hour has been loosely compared to Savatage, Fates Warning, and Queensryche.



The spring of 2007 saw the release of Waking Hours much anticipated debut cd “Hollow Man”. The disc was met with critical acclaim by many publications around the world including Metal Hammer and The Metal Observer. Later that year the song Hollow Man appeared on the ProgPower USA VIII sampler.



Waking Hour has had the privilege of playing with some of their favorite bands including Kamelot, Sonata Arctica, Edguy, Epica, Into Eternity, Stratovarius, Cellador, and Visions of Atlantis. This, along with extensive internet radio airplay has helped the band garner a steadily growing cult following.



Going into 2010 the band is working on material for their next release. With renewed energy and the addition of the new members to the songwriting process, this next disc promises to be even more ambitious than the last
