Третий полноформатник грека Шелмердина 6-го получился намного более разнообразнее предыдущих двух работ Meseonas и Epi Thanaton. Прошедшие пять лет были потрачены не впустую и композиторское мастерство автора ещё более возросло. Так же разнообразны и названия записанных десяти треков. Тут присутствуют привычный инглиш и более редкие латынь (Свет во тьме), немецкий (Моя ночь это свет) и французский (Повесть о Граале). Странно конечно что отсутствует родной греческий, но возможно автор никакой и не грек вовсе. В целом же темы произведений на альбоме достаточно традиционны для стиля мартиал индастриал. То же самое можно сказать и про саунд - барабанные дроби, тревожные дарк эмбиентные фоны, акустическая гитара, пианино и церковное хоровое пение. В завершающем треке так вообще каноничные очереди автоматов. Единственное более-менее отличие от сотен мартиал-проектов это неплохое высокое пение вокалистки Элины на половине песен в альбоме. В итоге мы имеем заурядный средний альбом, такой домашний добрый мартиальчик, который совсем не обязателен к прослушиванию ценителями жанра, однако и настроение совсем вконец и не испортит. 6/10 - в которых пара баллов за честные старания гречки.

Notes Digipack cd 6 panels.
-"Anunnaki" is DARK AWAKE 4th full length album that contains 9 new songs.
An esoteric mystical and spiritual music that must be felt not just heard. There are dark ambient parts without of earth instrumentation, that lead to powerfull martial industrial parts that inspire war and dominion. An abysmal orchestration that will send your soul to places beyond. The absolute masterpiece of dark music. Dark Awake 's brand new opus takes inspiration from the ancient gods of Mesopotamia, Anunnaki. Anunnaki are a race of superhumanly powerful humanoid beings who were once worshipped by several of the tribes and cultures of Mesopotamia,

Credits Artwork – Prince Of Agony Composed By, Mixed By, Mastered By – Shelmerdine
Notes A combination of Martial Industrial and Dark Ambient soundscapes towards a deep and beautiful experience and even a sense of the sacred. The artwork pictures are taken by Giordano Bruno (Prince of Agony) from the Italian cult metal band EVOL and between the songs there is a Sol Invictus cover with Wagnerian dramatic and emotional intensity. "Atropos Of Eudaimonia" is not music for the entertainment...is a path for the wisdom.
Through the years DARK AWAKE have established their own identity and quality.. the new album is full of beauty, strength and spiritual evolution and the tracks convey and spread the ideas of aestheticism and transcendentalism.
All music composed, recorded, mixed and mastered between 2016/2017 by SHELMERDINE VI°, except track “Kneel To The Cross” which is composed by Sol Invictus. Guest male vocals on “Kneel To The Cross” by Richard Weeks (Carnivorous Forest) and female vocals by Sekte. Lyrics on “The Medusa Of Despair” are from the same title poem by Clark Ashton Smith. Vocals on “The Medusa Of Despair” by Sekte. “Zarathustra Speaks Again” lyrics by Friedrich Nietzsche. Narration on “Zarathustra Speaks Again” by SHELMERDINE VI°.
All artwork photography (except band photos) by Giordano Bruno Folin (EVOL)
