Into the Abyss – Fake friends and fake promises

At some point, everybody had issues with fake friends. Some people are just nasty, others can push you into the abyss. This metalcore song channels the frustration when you realize, that you encountered another toxic person.

Writing and producing “Into the Abyss” has been big fun, because it’s the first time I produce a metalcore song. I am a big fan of this music genre for many years already, but listening and arranging are two different things. Everything started with Thomas’ synthesizer melody, that I used in the intro and chorus. I was tempted to add heavy guitars and drums – and this sound reminded me of metalcore. All we needed were some punchy screams, but these were much harder to get than expected, which is why I tried my best in a different technique. Lyrically, “Into the Abyss” speaks of friends, who wrap you into great promises and talk bad things about you. Some of them may even push you literally into the abyss. I am happy that we have Daniel Hiatt on the guitars, lead guitars and clean vocals. It has been great to try a new genre, and I hope that we wrote a catchy song. This time we also recorded a “clean version” if you’re not much into cursing.

“Into the Abyss” is now online on all Streaming Plattformen and on Bandcamp . We appreciate every listen and comment, especially on YouTube und SoundCloud.
