Anjey Kowalski's 'Nothing' Is A Dark, Defiant Blast of Noir Metal

With a unique style he fondly calls "Noir Metal", Anjey Kowalski crafts a sound that is both ferociously loud and intensely melancholic. It’s a sound that is both melodic and restless, echoing a broad duality, that Anjey describes as "like Jesus Christ and Joker from the Dark Knight would be united. Like if Bruce Wayne would took the Joker side."

Recently, Anjey has plunged listeners into a world of raw emotion and heavy sound, delivering his latest track, ‘Nothing’. The single, destined to be a part of his upcoming album ‘jackals&vultures’, grabs you by the throat, carving out a deliberate path through searing guitar riffs and a defiant metal sound that's both immediate and impactful.

Anjey’s vocals arrive with a gruff, deliberate force, lashing out with opening lines that hit close to home: "We all need someone to talk to, who will disagree? I was there for you, were you there for me?" These lyrics are designed to resonate personally, inviting you to reflect and find your own experience within them.

Beneath the vocal intensity, thunderous percussion propels the song forward with an unrelenting drive. Just as you settle into the heavy atmospherics, Anjey executes a dramatic shift. The dense soundscape gives way to an unexpected split vocal harmony and anthemic pitches, before gracefully fading into lighter synth tones and a hypnotic, rolling bassline. This evolution captures Anjey’s more avant-garde approach, with a unique thread woven into the fabric of the song.


Speaking to the track’s creation, Anjey shared it was born from a period of "blocking and dramatic emotions," a sentiment perhaps tied to the artist's current space, moving from one rented place to another while longing to return to his home and studio. This raw personal experience undoubtedly fuels the deep intensity found within 'Nothing', promising an album of significant emotional weight.

As for the broader message, Anjey is leaving us intrigued, sharing, "The message will be in the upcoming album ‘jackals&vultures’. For now it's a bit a mystery. Though I can say that this message will be individually awakening to each one. Truth will be exposed and eyes will be opened. No miracles but the harvest."

'Nothing' is a powerful, dynamic cut, bursting with mystique and leaving a profound impression that certainly makes you eager for what ‘jackals&vultures’ will unleash. For more from Anjey, head to his website, or join him on Instagram, TikTok, and X.
