Album Cover
#7. Sleeping Giant
I Am

Release Date: January 26, 2018
This is Sleeping Giant's swan song, and while you hate to see a band like this end, it leaves big opportunities for the final release. Finished People will be hard to top, but I'm hoping they leave on a really positive note.
        - Michael Weaver

I've heard this album, and it’s probably not their best work thus far, but it's a solid body of Spirit-filled hardcore, and a fond farewell to a band that I wish I could’ve gotten to know better.
        - Scott Fryberger
