What Awaits Us

Hailing from southern Finland, an exciting modern metal band What Awaits Us is ready to test the limits of this genre by bringing together a unique musical blend. The band's music combines melancholic melodies with hard hitting guitar riffs while taking elements from metalcore and melodic deathcore sub-genres.

In 2014 the band released their self-produced debut album "Awake" via Sliptrick Records which gained praises both from critics and listeners. An EP named "Anomaly" followed this up in 2018 introducing a more technical, faster and brutal side of the band's music.

What Awaits Us has delivered its energetic live shows to many venues in Finland and has also toured the Baltics.

Between 2021 and 2024, the band released four self-produced singles. These include a re-recorded version of the song "Ascend," as well as the tracks "Remedy" and "Borderline," mixed and mastered by Buster Odeholm (Odeholm Audio / Vildhjarta / Humanity's Last Breath).

The latest release 'Vanish into Grey' takes the listener on an introspective journey through a modern metalcore epic. Thought-provoking, melodic yet still crushingly heavy like its predecessors 'The Harbinger' and 'Hell Above', showcase the dynamic prowess of What Awaits Us and mark the beginning of a new era.
