Wakings is a solo project by Ian Barczewski (very Polish-sounding surname), musician from St. Louis, Missouri. The music on his new album The Abyss makes a legit, juicy piece of guitar post-rock with heavy message.
"This album is dedicated to those who have lost someone and have had to explore the loss in the deepest recesses of depression and anxiety in order to find acceptance". Heavy message and the music is also heavy. Wakings is a project from the series of "solo works that sound as if it was several guys with beards on stage". From the very beginning the album attacks with aggressive guitar sounds. The hit is exceptionally heavy in Silenced Grounds where the ambient intro is followed by surprising and violent guitars. It's also tangible in Field Studies and it seems that those rapid changes of pace together with deafening guitars are the American's music's strength.
