Annisokay – Abyss Pt. II – E.P Review
8th May 2025 0 By Jon DeauxSomewhere beneath the enamel grin of reality, where time slips on wet floor tiles and language forgets its shoes, Abyss Pt. II by Annisokay emerges like a chrome-fanged eel from a vending machine filled with broken rosaries and microwaved testosterone.
From the first track (Get Your Shit Together ), it’s clear this is not a record meant to be heard. It’s meant to be inhaled—like industrial incense made of rust and broken video game controllers. The riffs? They don’t chug. Chugging implies thirst, control, and purpose. No, these riffs splinter. They skitter across your skull like caffeinated arachnids wearing steel-toed boots and whispering about the futility of gravity.
The vocals—clean and screamed—play like two abandoned marionettes arguing in a flooded opera house. One is an angel with nicotine fingers; the other, a demon who once studied abroad in Berlin and now only listens to trap remixes of Gregorian chants. Together, they pour honey into your ears, then slap it out with concrete wings.
Lyrically, the album is a puzzle box filled with teeth. Not so much poetry as it is weaponised metaphor: broken mirrors kissing in alleyways, satellite dishes weeping for their mothers, the emotional equivalent of running a marathon while being chased by your unresolved trauma, wielding a chainsaw made of your ex’s voicemails.
Forget highlights. Each track is a separate room in a haunted IKEA where the furniture screams when you sit on it. “Into The Gray” makes your bones vibrate at frequencies only detectable by obsolete Soviet satellites. “Any Given Day” doesn’t just slap—it files for custody of your sleep paralysis demon.
By the end, you’re not sure if you’ve listened to music or been enrolled, involuntarily, in some ritualistic art school performance piece where the paint is made of melted speaker wire and the canvas is your frontal lobe. It’s emotional exfoliation. Aural dental surgery without anesthesia.
Abyss Pt. II don’t care if you like it. It just wants to know your name, your fears, and your mother’s maiden hair color.
