The opening synth layers, which are filled with psych\u00a0colors, take the listener to a dreamy but strange scene, as if they are traveling through the neon-lit streets of a nightmarish future. The futuristic vocals provide the music a strange, almost cinematic dimension, adding to its overall atmosphere. Certic&#8217;s decision to keep the vocals simple and avoid overdoing it with effects is a daring one. The track&#8217;s development is expertly executed. When the electric guitars kick in about 1:36, the music picks up speed, and the industrial elements combine effectively with the cyberpunk visual. The gritty, distorted guitars provide a dimension of aggression, producing real tension in contrast to the earlier, more ethereal synth\u00a0sections of the song. It&#8217;s a piece that rewards repeated listening, each revealing new levels of meaning and sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Abyss (I&#039;m Crawling)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QJdcxRIzERo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/stefancerticofficial\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/stefancerticofficial<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/certicstefan\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/certicstefan<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stefan Certic&#8217;s &#8220;The Abyss&#8221; not only pays tribute to the 1980s synth-pop period, but it&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25338,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[4177],"class_list":["post-25337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-stefan-certic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25337"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25339,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25337\/revisions\/25339"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
