Wasted Sky is the fourth studio album by Numb, released on June 15, 1994 by KK Records.[1] The band changed musical direction by dampening processing and effects with the intention of exploring a different emotional intensity with their music.[2][3] The album was reissued by Metropolis Records in July 1995.[4]
