Abyss, Watching Me delivers a sound that feels like a high-definition collision between the raw aggression of the 2010s post-hardcore scene and the shimmering textures of modern electronic pop. Their music is defined by a relentless forward momentum, where jagged guitar riffs and technical drumming provide a foundation for soaring, anthemic choruses that are designed to stick in your head for days. It is a sound that balances the grit of the underground with a level of studio polish that makes every snare hit and synth swell feel massive.
What sets them apart is the specific vocal architecture of Egor Erushin. His ability to pivot from vulnerable, breathy verses to powerful, glass-shattering belts creates a sense of constant emotional stakes. The production often incorporates subtle electronic elements - glitchy transitions, atmospheric pads, and driving synths - that elevate the songs beyond standard metalcore tropes, giving the music a cinematic, almost futuristic quality that feels both urgent and expansive.
Start with the album 'Ignite' to hear the band at their most cohesive and energetic. It perfectly captures their blend of heavy breakdowns and pop-sensible melodies. If you prefer a slightly more experimental and modern edge, 'Nix' showcases their evolution into a more nuanced, electronic-forward sound while maintaining the core intensity that defined their early Russian and Czech underground roots.
