Voices of Omens is the fourth full-length album release by Rwake. It is their first album released through Relapse Records. It has a total playing time of 59 minutes and 6 seconds.

Musical style

The vocals are of a varied Death Metal style, varying from high shrieks to low growls and roars. The music is monolithic, but is more fast-paced and up-tempo than Doom Metal. The bass intertwines with the guitar, but is neither inaudible or emphasized.
