““Dystopia” have dark layers, glowing textures, pumping bass, shivering riffs and catchy choruses, this is an absolute classic, beautiful and gloomy, “all inclusive” dark rock album. And merging “Manhattan Skyline” into deathrock, well it’s quite a thing! But they did it perfectly.”

“Ankst have made significant waves beyond the borders of their homeland since the release of 2009's 'Monument', which looks set to continue with 'Dystopia'”

“Ankst are an intriguing band and, given their pool of influences, a band who could lose a few of the doomier aspects to flower still further. ”

“Ankst is South Africa's own Goth band. Their music is a fusion of their tastes in goth music from four decades and their creativity born of living in both the brightest and darkest place in the world.”

“Quite simply, excellently hard and heavy gothic rock, not one dud track on this album. A must have.”

“This album is from one of the most exiting bands to have emerged from the "dark contenant".”

“Target audience is inconsequential. We make music for ourselves first and if there are people out there who enjoy our music, then great.”
