"Nazarene" is a surprisingly catchy, utterly scathing song that asks the Epicurean question in bitter, grim, and coldly angry tones. A strong and simple beat forces the grinding guitar line into strict order, while the vocals all but sneer at the listener's credulous and apathetic acceptance of absurdity as authority. The Wake (hailing from Columbus, Ohio) is an often-overlooked and under-appreciated goth gem from the early nineties. This song appears on Disc 1 of the 2004 compilation 'Gothika' (2004) and also on 'Masked' (2005)
