Awake
The dense, militaristic palm-muted chug of Godsmack's second album title track. Tony Rombola tracked Awake through his Mesa/Boogie rig — close-miked with a Shure SM57 and a Sennheiser MD 421 into John Hardy M1 preamps and a Manley Massive Passive EQ, per the session's engineering notes. Played in drop C and produced by Sully Erna with Mudrock, it's a tight, aggressive rhythm tone with a controlled, defined low end built for the marching groove.
