In Hearts Wake

Beginnings and first releases (2006–2010)

In Hearts Wake were formed in early 2006 composed of five friends that originate from Byron Bay Australia. In July 2006, the band recorded their first demo track ‘True Love Is Hard To Find’. In December 2006, they recorded their debut 7-track EP, titled ‘Into The Storm.’ In early 2007, the band welcomed new drummer ‘Caleb Burton’ into their metal-unit and began to refine their sound, writing faster, technical, heavier and more melodic songs. In July 2007 they embarked on a tour that covered three Australian states and three major cities.

In December 2007, the band began their 5-month studio recording schedule at SAE in Byron Bay to produce their second EP, titled The Gateway, which was self-financed by the musicians. In 2010 the band produced a split-EP together with the hardcore band The Bride.

Divination (2011–2013)

In Hearts Wake signed their first professional recording deal with UNFD in July 2012. Their label debut album, Divination, was released on August 31, 2012. Josh Schroeder produced the album at Random Awesome Studios in the United States of America. Divination peaked at 27 on the ARIA charts.

In March 2013 In Hearts Wake played four shows in New Zealand. In June another Australia tour followed with support from Counterparts, The Storm Picturesque and Stories. The first tour throughout Australia was held in September. In Hearts Wake toured with Landscapes as support for The Amity Affliction in Europe. The tour led the bands throughout the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, France and Austria. The band continued touring together with The Amity Affliction on their Brothers in Arms Australia tour alongside Chelsea Grin and Stick to Your Guns as support.

Between August 30, 2013 and September 8, 2013 the band toured Australia alongside Like Moths to Flames and label mates Hand of Mercy in support of the Homebound tour of Dream On, Dreamer. After the Homebound tour, the band played four shows with British Electronicore group Enter Shikari.

Earthwalker and Skydancer (2013–2015)

In February and March 2014 In Hearts Wake played Soundwave Festival in Australia for the first time. Before playing at Soundwave the band headlined the Skydancer Australia tour with support from Hand of Mercy and Hellions. The earnings of the tour went to the band's own Skydancer project.

The musicians announced they would release a new album in 2014. It is called Earthwalker and was set to be released on May 2, 2014 and in Europe in the End of May. The album peaked at No. 5 at official ARIA Charts. In June the band will tour Australia again to promote Earthwalker with support from Being as an Ocean, Dream On, Dreamer, Endless Heights, and Sierra.

In early March 2015 the band announced that they would be releasing a new album titled Skydancer scheduled for release in May 2015. Jake Taylor stated in a documentary that the band actually recorded the new album alongside their 2014 release Earthwalker.

In August 2015 the band opened up for Northlane in North America & Canada on their Node tour with Oceans Ate Alaska & Like Moths to Flames as support. They also returned to North America in October to support Parkway Drive on their IRE tour while also joining Miss May I & Thy Art is Murder as support.
