In Hearts Wake were formed in early 2006 composed of five friends that originate from Byron Bay, Australia. In July 2006, the band recorded their first demo track "True Love Is Hard to Find". In December 2006, they recorded their debut 7-track EP, entitled Into the Storm. In early 2007, the band welcomed new drummer Caleb Burton and began to refine their sound, writing faster, heavier, more technical and melodic songs. In July 2007, they embarked on a tour that covered three Australian states and three major cities.
In December 2007, with an average age of just seventeen, the band began their 5-month studio recording schedule at SAE Institute in Byron Bay to produce their second EP with Scottish producer/engineer James Lyall, entitled The Gateway, which was self-financed by the producer and musicians and mixed by respected US engineer Daniel Castleman . In 2010, the band produced a split-EP together with the hardcore band The Bride.
In Hearts Wake signed their first professional recording deal with UNFD in July 2012. Their debut studio album, Divination, was released on 31 August 2012. Josh Schroeder produced the album at Random Awesome Studios in the United States of America. Divination peaked at 27 on the ARIA charts.
In March 2013, they played four shows in New Zealand. In June, another Australia tour followed with support from Counterparts, The Storm Picturesque and Stories. The first tour throughout Australia was held in September. In Hearts Wake toured with Landscapes as support for The Amity Affliction in Europe. The tour led the bands throughout the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, France and Austria. The band continued touring together with The Amity Affliction on their "Brothers in Arms Australia Tour" alongside Chelsea Grin and Stick to Your Guns as support.
Between 30 August 2013 and 8 September 2013, the band toured Australia alongside Like Moths to Flames and label mates Hand of Mercy in support of the "Homebound Tour" of Dream On, Dreamer. After the "Homebound Tour", the band played four shows with British electronicore group Enter Shikari.
