Sound Awake was produced by Forrester Savell (The Butterfly Effect, Dallas Frasca) and recorded at Perth's Blackbird and Kingdom Studios over several months.

AllMusic wrote that "The core of alternative/nu metal that brought the group success on its debut album, Themata, still holds throughout the bulk of [Sound Awake], but there are little touches of something else.

In the end, the final cover was a mixture of input from all the band and Joe.The album was released on 5 June 2009 through Cymatic Records and distributed by Sony Music Australia.

[8] Adam Greenberg of Allmusic felt that often the band sounded too similar to the work of Tool, writing, "when Karnivool are simply innovating and trying out new elements, they turn out to be quite capable.

"[1] Jacob Royal of Sputnikmusic complimented Karnivool's experimentation and musicianship, writing that many of the tracks build in dynamics well and feature complex percussive arrangements from drummer Steve Judd.
