about
“Guilty”, from the last album “Your Own World ~ And The Vision of Sound”, was the song entrusted to Industrial Dance master Claus Larsen, whom we met at Castle Party in Poland. We'd never met before, there were no introductions, no chatting, just a hug. Rosetta: “We just looked at each other, and hugged, back stage. I felt as if we knew each other, as if we were aware of each other’s stories.” This is an artist who lives for music and for performing on stage, in a different genre, and to nth power, giving himself completely to his art. For this EP we wanted something that reflected each artist's personality into our songs. And here we have pure fun, stomping energy, in a completely different style, in the sign of openness, and positive contamination across borders and genres. We wanted something mind-blowing and outrageous, and Claus Larsen's remix delivered! He managed to get these little bats up and dancing, and hopping around the room until we ran out of breath, so beware! It could happen to you, too!
For the few unfamiliar with his work, Claus Larsen is renowned internationally for his projects Leæther Strip and Klutae, influential in the electronic body music and electro-industrial genres.

lyrics
Are you ready
for such great pain
who will be close to me
when the time comes?
are you willing to do
do whatever it takes
are you ready
for such great pain
who will be close to me?
when the time comes
Silent screaming
from such great pain
hear that voice calling
there's no greater fear
for I am guilty, guilty
forget me not
Time is passing, you know
grab it by the horns
are you willing to resign and die?
for we're all guilty, guilty
forget me not
I'll there walking back and forth
in this or that room
merging thoughts
about a journey
real or seen
in a dream.
Or the present dark and grey
Raising Prayers
in some sort of song
Who will be close to ME
when the time comes
Who will be close to YOU
when the time comes
I'll be marching
til I mold
in this or that world
merging thoughts
from a journey
real or seen
in a dream
I'll be walking back and forth
raising prayers
in some sort of song
Who will be close to me
when the time comes
Who will be close to you
when your time comes

I've enjoyed The Wake since the 90s. The new album feels like a trip to right where they left off! Goth Rock at it's best! I can't wait to see where they go from here!! aklosowski22
A killer re-release of a rare solo post-punk LP from 1988 by the frontman of Taste of Decay and Garden of Pleasures. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 17, 2022
Cinematic-scale goth from Reflection Black with catchy melodies, dreamy synths, punchy rhythms, and a sense of timelessness. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 21, 2023

This is the kind of gothic rock I absolutely love. Oldschool, guitar-heavy music in the vein of Love Like Blood. I'm really hoping for a full-length LP. WotanAK
