In Hearts Wake is an Australian metalcore band from Byron Bay, formed in 2006, currently consisting of vocalist Jake Taylor, bassist and singer Kyle Erich , lead guitarist Eaven Dall, drummer Conor Ward and rhythm guitarist Ben Nairne. They have released two EPs, Into the Storm and The Gateway, and three full-length studio albums, Divination, Earthwalker and Skydancer, a split CD with The Bride and a split single with Northlane titled Equinox. The band's lyrical themes include environmentalism and other social issues.
In Hearts Wake were formed in early 2006 composed of five friends that originate from Byron Bay Australia. In July 2006, the band recorded their first demo track ‘True Love Is Hard To Find’. In December 2006, they recorded their debut 7-track EP, titled ‘Into The Storm.’ In early 2007, the band welcomed new drummer ‘Caleb Burton’ into their metal-unit and began to refine their sound, writing faster, technical, heavier and more melodic songs. In July 2007 they embarked on a tour that covered three Australian states and three major cities.
In December 2007, the band began their 5-month studio recording schedule at SAE in Byron Bay to produce their second EP, titled The Gateway, which was self-financed by the musicians. In 2010 the band produced a split-EP together with the hardcore band The Bride.
In Hearts Wake signed their first professional recording deal with UNFD in July 2012. Their label debut album, Divination, was released on August 31, 2012. Josh Schroeder produced the album at Random Awesome Studios in the United States of America. Divination peaked at 27 on the ARIA charts.
In March 2013 In Hearts Wake played four shows in New Zealand. In June another Australia tour followed with support from Counterparts, The Storm Picturesque and Stories. The first tour throughout Australia was held in September. In Hearts Wake toured with Landscapes as support for The Amity Affliction in Europe. The tour led the bands throughout the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, France and Austria. The band continued touring together with The Amity Affliction on their Brothers in Arms Australia tour alongside Chelsea Grin and Stick to Your Guns as support.
