Anika 'Abyss'

Fueled by raw emotion and recorded live to tape at Berlin’s iconic Hansa Studios, 'Abyss' captures Anika at her most visceral and defiant. Across ten unflinching tracks, she channels a storm of anger, disillusionment, and resistance into dense, feedback-soaked alt-rock that pulls equally from grunge, no wave, and punk’s confrontational spirit. With minimal overdubs and a tight-knit band behind her, the album pulses with urgency and cathartic energy.

Lyrically, 'Abyss' confronts fascism, misinformation, and political polarization while never losing sight of the personal. Songs like “One Way Ticket” and “Hearsay” blaze with righteous fury, while “Buttercups” and “Walk Away” pull inward, revealing vulnerability beneath the noise. Inspired by the likes of Patti Smith, Genesis P-Orridge, and 90s riot grrrl ferocity, Anika turns her frustration into a rallying cry. 'Abyss' is a space for release—intimate, explosive, and vital.
