Annisokay headed to the Garage in London as part of the Abyss Tour to celebrate their latest EP release.
Following the release of their latest EP ‘Abyss’ (2023) via Arising Empire, the German metalcore quartet comprising vocalist and guitarist Christoph Wieczorek, bassist Peter Leukhardt, drummer Nico Vaeen and vocalist Rudi Schwarzer, hit the road to celebrate the release across Europe and the UK. Mixing heavy metal riffs with catchy vocals and raw screams, the four-piece created their own sound taking influences from metal and rock while also having a pop edge.
Starting off the night, Fixations, all the way from Norway, took to the stage to get the crowd warmed up. Even though they had to open to a relatively small crowd their ambient, yet energetic sound lured in the listeners and evoked at least some crowd participation which the band seemed to be very appreciative of.
Next up was the British metalcore four-piece Shields who already saw the room filling up a bit more when they entered the stage. Bursting with energy, the quartet ripped through their set not intending to slow down any time soon, leaving the crowd hyped for the headliner. Their heavy riffs and roaring screams combined with sing-along choruses created a perfect dynamic and saw the crowd moshing along.
After the lights dimmed for the final time, Annisokay took to the stage, picking up the energy right where Shields left it off. Getting the crowd hyped right from the start, especially songs such as The Tragedy and STFU got a lot of crowd participation but nothing compared to the frenzy the cover of Linkin Park’s ‘Closer To The Edge’ put the crowd in. Everyone seemed to have a very special time and enjoyed them selves both on stage and in front of the stage. Even though the room could have been a bit busier, the crowd that showed up definitely made up for it by moshing even harder.
