ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: New Release from Annisokay

German metalcore heavyweights ANNISOKAY have unleashed their long-awaited new album Abyss — The Final Chapter, marking the monumental conclusion to their acclaimed Abyss era. Out now via Arising Empire, the record stands as one of the band's most ambitious, cinematic, and emotionally charged releases to date.
 

Abyss — The Final Chapter pushes ANNISOKAY's signature blend of crushing heaviness, towering choruses, and electronic darkness to new extremes. Frontman Rudi Schwarzer delivers some of his most ferocious vocal work yet, while Chris Wieczorek (aka Chrissy) elevates the album with soaring, atmospheric cleans and massive melodic hooks. The band's trademark contrast between brutality and beauty has never felt more refined or more explosive.
 

Building upon the success of Abyss Part I & II, this final installment ties together the themes of isolation, inner conflict, and resilience that have defined the trilogy—offering fans a powerful, cathartic finale. The production hits with surgical precision, the breakdowns are heavier than ever, and the band's sense of scale feels downright cinematic.
 

With their fanbase growing globally and their sound evolving into a new creative peak, ANNISOKAY once again prove why they're one of the most important and innovative forces in modern metalcore.
 

Abyss — The Final Chapter is out now on all digital platforms, with physical editions available via Arising Empire. Step into the abyss one last time.
