Tales of Absolution & Obsoletion is the eighth studio album by South African gothic rock band The Awakening, released worldwide via Intervention Arts in June 2009.

Recording

The Awakening's eighth full-length studio album released June 2009, Tales is described as "a return to Zeen/Dark Romantics-era classic gothic rock."[1] The album represents the longest lapse between releases, a full three years having passed since the band's previous release, Razor Burn. It was the first of the band's albums to be cross-continentally written and recorded, as the band has been based in the United States since late 2007 but recorded various tracks from Tales in both South Africa and the USA.[2] It is also the first of the band's albums to include Rose Mortem on piano and keyboards.[3]
