While the acclaimed 2021 mixtape DEMIDEVIL showcased a head-on approach, directly tackling themes of sexual revolution and revenge, Weedkiller is more allegorical. A half-concept album set in a dystopian future, the Weedkiller universe that Ashnikko has created tells the story of a fae civilization occupied and destroyed by machines that feed on organic matter where the faerie protagonist seeks revenge by becoming part machine - a poetic commentary on environmental disaster and the rapid evolution of technology, while also confronting real-world issues from sexual empowerment to tech warfare and ecological collapse. Full of equal parts naked vulnerability and joyful rebellion, Weedkiller gives a thundering voice to the oppressed. Speaking on the announce, Ashnikko states "My bioluminescent heart is glowing. My post-apocalyptic fae world is here for you to journey into. My wings have been ripped out, but I’ve built them anew using Weedkiller machine parts. I am the one sent here to eliminate you, Weedkiller” 1 World Eater2 You Make Me Sick!3 Worms4 Super Soaker (Featuring Daniela Lalita)5 Don't Look at It6 Cheerleader7 Moonlight Magic8 Miss Nectarine9 Chokehold Cherry Python10 Weedkiller11 Want It All12 Possession of a Weapon13 Dying Star (Featuring Ethan Cain)
