Experience Industrial-inspired alternative metal with dreamy synths and heavy guitars creating an epic sound
When you listen to CARRIE ABYSS, the Alternative Rock and Dark Wave band from London, UK, you’re not just hearing music—you’re experiencing a full-blown audial assault. They bring a distinctive sound that breaks boundaries and redefines the genre. “Mass Destruction (Of My Head)” is their recent single that epitomizes this innovative fusion. I’m utterly stunned by the quality and originality this band brings to the scene, making it impossible not to draw parallels to legendary acts like Nine Inch Nails and Deftones.
CARRIE ABYSS comprises vocal powerhouse Carrie Abyss, Jonathan Adeyemi on drums, Tibet Tunaboyu laying down the bass lines, and Tunç Kuzay shredding the guitar. Inspired by the industrial fervour, their music injects a touch of Björk’s angelic vocals and tells the compelling story of a Middle Eastern young woman seeking her place in society.
Recorded at City and Goldsmiths Universities, and produced by Bernadette Lara, this song is mixed by Onur Erdem Ünal (aka. knee) and mastered by Stephen Kerrison (DITZ, Liz Lawrence), distributed by the state51 Conspiracy. The intricate details and care given to create such a sonic landscape reflect their dedication to the craft.

This maximalist and industrial fury feels akin to the final boss fight in a feminist revenge video game. Tracks like these don’t just raise the bar—they shatter it. Imagine dreamy synths intertwined with heavy guitars and layered female vocals—all elements brilliantly used by CARRIE ABYSS. In a time where mainstream music can often feel repetitive, their distinct sound flavours the scene with much-needed originality.
According to PopHits.Co, “CARRIE ABYSS takes you on a journey through emotional and sonic landscapes so vivid, you’ll feel like you’re in an epic, cinematic world of sound.”
Influences from bands such as Evanescence and Ethel Cain add an extra layer of depth to their music. Jonathan Adeyemi’s drumming provides an unyielding backbone, while Tibet Tunaboyu’s bass lines introduce a dark, robust undertone that keeps the listener grounded. Coupled with Tunç Kuzay’s remarkable guitar riffs, the overall sound is incredibly well-rounded. They don’t just play music; they tell a story, and they invite you to live that narrative with them.
