Wake the Dead is the second studio album by the Canadian hardcore punk band Comeback Kid. It was released on February 22, 2005. Bill Stevenson recorded it over 13 days at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado. The album peaked at number 16 on Top Heatseekers and number 27 on Top Independent Albums.[where?] It was the final album with Scott Wade on vocals, with Andrew Neufeld taking over on the later releases.
The album's main hit, the title track, was used on the soundtrack of the video games Burnout Revenge and Burnout Legends. In 2025 the band re-recorded it for the album's 20th anniversary, with Neufeld commenting, "The song lands as the biggest moment in every single set that we've played — from Asia through South America to Europe, Africa, and North America."[3]
