Comprehensive, career spanning, interview with Ian Arkley on The Buried Cry (Sept 05)

Interview with Ian Arkley on The Whipping Post (May 05)

The debut album Awaken was recorded at James' home in Monroe near Seattle, WA. Most of the recording was done between the 6th and 15th March 2005 when Ian flew out to Seattle, with additional preparation prior to this session.

The CD will be released on Cold Fusion. The label has already re-released Visionaire's Mystical Dominion with additional tracks and Ashen Mortality's Your Caress and Sleepless Remorse as a double re-mastered release with additional tracks. Cold Fusion is the perfect label for Century Sleeper as they have a real passion for music and dedication to high quality releases. Gary Hamilton from Cold Fusion has been working closely with the band on this project from it's inception, and this has proved to be a very successful alliance.

James is putting the finishing touches to all the songs and will be mixing them shortly. We are looking to be done with our part around the end of May.

The release date is still unknown but will likely be around late summer 2005. Also look out for Century Sleeper's version of the medieval song Gaudete which will appear on an alternative Christmas compilation CD. This will be released by Cold Fusion/ Psychoacoustix. Additional vocals for this song and some album tracks were provided by Kate Hamilton (no relation to Gary!)

The album will contain twelve songs and will weigh in at over seventy minutes in duration.
