Powerful Quote about this artist:
"A cathartic journey through the struggles of a Middle Eastern woman finding her place in a complex society. With its heavy guitars, intricate synths, and layered vocals, the album evokes the sensation of an epic final boss battle in a feminist revenge video game. Supported by a compelling short film and a multimedia experience exploring Middle Eastern trauma, CARRIE ABYSS delivers a visceral, politically charged musical exploration that is both emotionally intense and deeply empowering."
