They say good things come in threes, and The Weeknd is putting the finishing touches on his After Hours / Dawn FM trilogy. Abel posted the cinematic trailer previewing the intoxicating track on Tuesday (July 23), which is another signal the third chapter is on the way from the Canadian crooner. “When you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you,” he wrote in the caption while quoting German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
The dreamy trailer features a kid looking to outrun a dark world where external forces are attempting to capture him. He makes a great escape for the heavens while The Weeknd’s ominous vocals provide the soundtrack. “I’m falling at the speed of light/ I’m staring at your shrinking face, don’t cry,” Abel croons on the track that appears to be titled “The Abyss.
” when you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you...

“This sounds insane,” one fan wrote while another added: “THE KING IS BACK !!!” There are even fans that believe this era could outweigh 2012’s Trilogy compilation album. “Off rip 10x better than the first Trilogy and it’s not even complete yet,” they declared on X. “Forget world building, this is something built beyond our own understanding!” 2024 is shaping up to be another busy campaign for The Weeknd, who will be returning to South.
