Pre-orders are available HERE.
Produced by Jesse Haradine and Kris Dzierzbicki at Thread Junction Studios, “Cursed Soul” has been engineered and mixed by Jesse Haradine, ensuring a sound that is as haunting as it is pristine.

The upcoming album promises to be a darker, more immersive journey, perfect for those who relish the eerie hours spent in the enigmatic embrace of forests and swamps.
About AAWKS:
Hailing from the mysterious foothills of Kempenfelt Bay in Barrie Ontario Canada, AAWKS make heavy-psych, stoner-doom music. They mix melodic songwriting with pummeling riffs and grooves and their music is as influenced by newer bands such as MEPHISTOFELES, MONOLORD, WINDHAND and the MELVINS as it is by classic rock bands like BLACK SABBATH, PINK FLOYD and DEEP PURPLE. They explore fantastical themes of the occult and spin tales of mind expansion and spaced out exploration of the multiverse. AAWKS released their debut full length album (((((HEAVY ON THE COSMIC))))) in June of 2022 on Black Throne Productions which landed at #2 on the Doom Charts that month.
AAWKS is:
Kris Dzierzbicki (guitar/vocals)
Roberto Paraíso (guitar)
Randylin Babic (drums)
Ryan “Grime Pup” Mailman – bass/vocals
