With each member hailing from different parts of the world, Allanic from Venezuela, Ben Parker (drums) coming from New Zealand and Alizon Taho (bass) from France, ‘Edge Of The Abyss’ is a fantastic blend of culture and sound, demonstrating the very best of the band. 

Taking on a different route from previous releases such as ‘Rhinoceros' and ‘Euphoric’, ‘Edge Of The Abyss’ is an accumulation of all their hard-work, hope and their sheer determination to produce an exceptional album for listeners which they’ve succeeded with. 

‘Tunnel Vision’ is an outstanding opener to the album. The gentle introduction lures the listener in before Jess Allanic’s screamo vocals blow them away. It’s a delightful cacophony of noise which wouldn’t be out of place in underground clubs, spurring on sweaty mosh pits. The glitchiness of the track paired alongside Allanic’s singing helps to balance out the franticness of the song and leads the way for the rest of the album, ensuring that you’ll want to stay for the entire ride. 

Each song adds its own unique perspective to the forty minute long joyride that is ‘Edge Of The Abyss’ yet they still work excellently together. Notable tracks include ‘W.T.F’, ‘Lo Que Val’ and ‘The Abyss’, each superbly demonstrating the strength of the band and guarantees that they’ll quickly cement a spot as one of your new favourites. 

‘W.T.F’ takes on a similar vibe to ‘Tunnel Vision’, it’s loud and a structured whirlwind of sound. The whispered intro of “what the f*ck?” gently dips your toe into the body of the song and provides a nice comedown from the previous track. The steadiness of the drums and the distorted voice that peppers the track makes it, and subsequently the album, stand out in the teeming world of rock. 

‘Lo Que Val’ is the first time where we hear Allanic’s mother tongue shine through which adds to the refreshing and exciting listening experience of the album. The bass and drums in this track are simply exceptional. The low growl of the bass entices listeners in straight away before the drums come in and fully submerge listeners into the song itself. Allanic’s gentle singing at the end is reminiscent of a lulling bedtime story, calming listeners down from the chaos of the track and preparing them for the next. 

The title song is also sung in Spanish which only adds to the experience of the song. The synths that fill the track create an almost spooky vibe to the whole song and the robotic vocals helps to take the album to another level. It’s a track that you can easily let your hair down and dance to. ‘The Abyss’, like all the other tunes on the tracklist, is energetic but it presents itself in a new light.

The band’s incredible talents are showcased across eleven energetic songs, which demand all your attention and showcasing just how far the band have grown in terms of their sound.
