Agony
is in the metal scene for over a decade. They come from Czech
Republic and early last year they released their third album
with the title "My Turn to Die". The band
has released also two demos, one split 7", one MCD and
of course two full length albums. This time Agony includes
ten tracks and almost forty minutes of pure metal music. So
which path Agony follows; I believe that they walk
in the doom / death metal paths with a lot of melodies. Mostly
the vocals are death metal ones and the guitar players had
done a great work with the guitar solos and the guitar riffs.
Also the keyboards are in the same quality. Generally the
band seems to be well tighter and they have work hard for
this album and their compositions are well worked but because
we have some enormous bands in this metal kind, you can't
pick this album easily. Of course Agony played their
music straight from the heart and i prefer to hear new bands
that they have something to add to this scene instead of hearing
again and again the same bands. If you are into this kind
of metal then for sure you will find a lot of moments that
you will adore the stuff from Agony.
