Electrified by their success, the band quickly delved back into writing after the conclusion of the tour in 1993. The band rushed into the studio to record material for what would become their third album, "Awake," released October 4, 1994. The album, which was much darker and metallic than their previous two albums, received a slew of controversy from fans and critics. On top of this, long time keyboardist Kevin MOORE announced his departure prior to the album's tour due to creative differences. On top of this, vocalist LABRIE suffered from a bad case of food poisoning while vacationing in Cuba after the release of the album. This tragically ruptured his vocal chords, making it near impossible for him to sing in his prior capabilities.
