The Waking was formed in early 2004 when former members of Hybreed and Spent began jamming. The first demo was engineered and recorded by Louis Svitek (Ministry, M.O.D.) and is available through the website. The Waking are featured on a internationally distributed paintball DVD (episode 42) released through Traumahead Sportz, which can be viewed at traumaheadsportz.com. At the present time, they will be playing a few shows and recording for the upcoming CD.
