Agony

Oct 12th, 2002

Agony, a LA heavy metal event.(www.agonyreborn.com) Two years after leaving Columbia for the heart of America's rock music scene, Agony has proven that LA is their home. Their new CD, Reborn (on Cinismo Records), shows why they are on the Aztlanfest Tour this summer. The confident structure is proof that LA has added to the rebirth of Metal and that Rock has alive and well in the 21st century. With this CD, showing that years of recording and world tours can payoff for those willing to endure, we here some of the hardest Heavy Metal around. With its mixture of entertainment and political commentary we see what Rock has always been, the voice of reality in shining glory. It may be harsh on the sensitive, but suddenly plunging eyesight upon the blind is like that. The title song gives those that feel the need to bang their heads (something I stopped doing 16 years ago) all the motivation they need. This is a disc that will stir the savage beast of pain and turmoil in all souls. The opening song, King of Rats, has all the power and enthusiasm one could find in the pure Metal collection they cherish. The great pleasure of this disc is all 12 songs give the same motivation to rock till you drop. Grab a copy and send your neighbors running for cover
