The Awakening is the sixth studio album by German metalcore band Caliban, released in Germany on 25 May 2007 and in the UK on 28 May.

A limited digipak edition was released, which also came with a bonus patch.

The album was released in the United States on 23 October 2007.

This delay was because of the band's American label, Abacus Recordings, merging with Century Media.

All lyrics written by Andreas Dörner and all music written by Marc Görtz.
