I still play Awaken and Mystica quite often. I can't understand why this band didn't cause more of a stir, especially as they seemed primed to go on to even better things. Still, their official website is still active after 7 years or whatnot, so SOMEone evidently still cares about them.
Ben Ryan is one of the few keyboardists in heavy rock who's not only competent but even adds something to the music. Wonder what he's up to these days.
We know, of course, what Mr. Allender is doing...
