rated the album positively but saying: "Earthwalker struggles to maintain that level of quality which devotees of modern metalcore are not only accustomed to, but consequently demand.

Not a fatal misstep, yet In Heart Wakes will undoubtedly need to fine tune what is a nakedly derivative outlook if they hope to graduate to the globe spanning big leagues.

"[3] Alex Sievers from KillYourStereo gave the album 80 out of 100 and said: "Still keeping with their 'Parkway Drive with cleans' sound and with cleaner, more melodic guitar work, In Hearts Wake have busted out another great record.

"[5] Rock Sound gave it 7 out of 10 and said: "Joining the ever-growing list of Aussie acts making a big racket internationally in the last few years, In Hearts Wake play a similar blend of super-heavy yet melodic breakdowncore to their peers in Northlane and The Amity Affliction.

Hailing straight from the same tiny beachside town as Parkway Drive, this lot mix up brutal djenting with big choruses designed for singalongs.
