Annisokay - Abyss – The Final Chapter
German metalcore force Annisokay will release their new album, Abyss – The Final Chapter, tomorrow 21st November 2025 via Arising Empire.
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 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 are available via Arising Empire here. Step into the abyss one last time.

blacktoothed - Embers
German heavy-hitters blacktoothed return with their explosive new single 'Embers', a track that pushes the band into their most intense territory yet. Fueled by searing guitars, pounding rhythms, and a vocal performance that unleashes a whole new level of power and grit, 'Embers' hits harder than anything they’ve released before.

The song dives deep into themes of collapse, rebirth, and the sparks that survive even the darkest moments. From its brooding atmosphere to its relentless climax, 'Embers' captures a raw emotional urgency that feels bigger, darker, and more unrestrained than the band’s recent work. With a sharpened edge and a renewed fire, blacktoothed show just how far they’re willing to push themselves creatively.
