The Pulse of Awakening is the third album by Swiss industrial metal band Sybreed. It was released in 2009 under Listenable Records.[3] Vocalist Benjamin Nominet has stated that the album title was inspired by the cyberpunk anime television series Ergo Proxy.[4]
In April 2025, the band announced that Antares, The Pulse of Awakening, and God Is an Automaton would all be reissued on CD and vinyl, all set to be released on 30 May through Listenable.[5] That same day, the band released a cover of the Tears for Fears song "Shout" that will appear on the reissue for The Pulse of Awakening.[6]
All tracks are written by Benjamin Nominet and Thomas “Drop” Betrisey, except where noted.
