After a long absence from the scene, the Italian alternative metal band Watching The Abyss returns with their new single “LIKE WAVES”, in collaboration with Warmusic Managment. The song was recorded by Luca Pretorius (Kaboom Studio), the mix and master is by Jarno Bellasio (Theorem Studio), while the video clip was directed by Gabriele Agostinelli.
Watching The Abyss talk about the work behind the realization of “LIKE WAVES”, and about its meaning for them: “During the Covid period we faced some difficulties, we had lost that spirit that had brought us together to share our passion: making music. At a certain point, however, that desire to go back to being yourself and pick up where you left off always comes back. We can say that “LIKE WAVES” represents exactly this. It is a song that expresses the completion of a journey, the acceptance of difficulties but at the same time the awareness that these do not determine who we are, but it is the strength we have in reacting that does so. And maybe the fact that this was one of the last songs that we’ve written means something. This song was written almost in one shot, which came out spontaneously, but which at the same time is the result of the study of new sounds and solutions, seeking the union of multiple moods and genres within a few minutes, as if to unite all the souls that form the Watching the Abyss family. Talking about that, we would like to thank all the people that collaborated with us and that keep doing it, giving us all their support. At the moment we’ve still a lot of new material we can’t wait to release, but mainly we want to return playing live and share them with our community”.
