The Great Classic Metal Awakening Coming

Today metal bands sing about breaking up with their girlfriends. They de-tune their guitars to make their music sound heavier than it is. They scream through the verse and whine through the chorus, and they replace solos with breakdowns.

It's time again for a new awakening, a Great Awakening. It's time for a new Slayer, a new Metallica, and a new Megadeth to come forward and form a new army. They call themselves Great Awakening because they are on a mission to make heavy metal what it used to be.

Great Awakening is an Orlando based metal band formed by brothers Nick and Vinnie Butera with the intention of starting an awakening of their own and reviving a genre that once ruled the world. They're music is a mix of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Overkill, and Pantera. Although they are youthful in age (18, 19, 19, 21) they've already grown quickly bringing in all demographics of fans, to witness their thrash revivals.
