The Awakening is the sixth studio album by German metalcore band Caliban, released on 25 May 2007. The album peaked at number 36 on the German album charts. A limited digipak edition was released, which also came with a bonus patch. The album was released in the United States on 23 October 2007. This delay was because of the band's American label, Abacus Recordings, merging with Century Media.
