We love nothing more than discovering hidden things with music, whether its secret tracks on records, obscure trivia about a band or artist or extra little surprise that comes with an album, which is exactly what has been found by on an Aussie album that you might own.

Byron Bay metalcore favourites In Hearts Wake dropped their third full-length LP Earthwalker in May of last year and CD form of the album contained a nice little surprise that many owners did not know existed, a booklet containing messages from the band.

It was was only just bought to the attention of fans when the band’s label UNFD posted the following to Facebook, “Did you check below the tray when you got your Earthwalker album? What are In Hearts Wake up to?” with accompanying fan images that were posted from instagram users jamiearcher and cameronopp:


Since this post, hundreds of fans have tagged each other on Facebook telling each other to extract the book of earthly words, gobsmacked that they’d missed the hidden gem from the band, many writing “Had this album since May and never noticed this sneaky!”

If you own Earthwalker waste not another second, grab your CD case and very carefully remove the tray and you shall receive your hidden present from In Hearts Wake.
