Bio:
Agonizer is a heavy metal band from Pyhäjärvi, Finland.Agonizer formed in 1998 with the six-man line-up of Olli Solitanner on vocals, Mika Heinonen playing the keyboard and providing back-up vocals, J-P Perälä and Lasse Löytynoja on guitar, Jussi Tikka on bass and Toni Qvick playing the drums, recording their first demo 'Eternal Night' at Studio Jambo in Iisalmi.The demo was received well by Finnish music magazines, and Agonizer followed it up in 1999 with Last Sign of Light, recorded at Astia Studios in Lappeenranta, a studio noted for its favour by Children of Bodom. Shortly after recording, vocalist Olli Solitanner left the band, and was replaced by Pasi Kärkkäinen, who lent a distinctly different singing style to the music. The band liked his style enough to return to Astia Studios to re-record the vocals for Last Sign of Light. Shortly after this, they played alongside Children of Bodom, Amorphis and Sonata Arctica at several gigs.In 2001, Agonizer recorded their third demo, Lord of Lies, again at Astia Studios. This demo was also well-received, but it was not until the next year that Century Records in Germany called the band. After negotiating for six months, Agonizer emerged without a contract.Agonizer released Anthems of Agony, a compilation of songs from their previous demos, in 2002. That summer, guitarist Lasse Löytynoja left and Joni Laine stepped in to take his place. Again, the band found a new element to their music. By 2003, their fourth demo, entitled Cain was released. It won 'Demo of the Month' award in Finnish music magazine 'Rumba', and received airplay in England, Brazil, Germany, Greece, Belgium, Peru, The Netherlands, Lithuania, and Spain.World of Fools, their fifth demo EP, was released in March 2004, again to positive reviews.Agonizer were selected to play at the first Finnish Metal Expo, where they reached the finals of a contest to play alongside three other bands after being chosen from a total line-up of 148 bands. However, the expo also heralded the departure of their drummer, Toni Qvick, after what were cited as being 'long-standing differences'. His position was filled by Atte Palokangas.Not so long after Finnish Metal Expo, Mika Heinonen left the band. Band first considered to go on without a keyboardist, but finally informed that Joni's younger brother Patrik had taken the place.In April 2007, Agonizer signed a recording contract with Spinefarm Records. Later on (August 2007) debut album Birth / The End was released with release gig (Heavy Metal Underground +1400) held at Pyhäsalmi Mine, in world record depth (Guinness World Records - Deepest concert underground) of 1410 m.
Album:
Agonizer has been able to toil for years, even though the brand new Visions of the Blind systems such it is only the second full-length album. The band was formed and released its first demo as early as the 90th century, and the first album is a time for nine years. The 2007 Birth / The End between the disc and the Visions of the Blind band has only released one single, so some degree of ruosteisuus would be quite understandable.How about yet, Visions of the Blind is the quality of the output! The song material is strong from start to finish, and some choruses - especially juicy Trail main melody - will be grinding away at the back of the head by force if necessary. Call, compositions and arrangements glowing skilled to do, and not be ashamed of any Agonizer alongside the older bands. interpretation of the singer Pasi Kärkkäinen In particular, deserves an honorable mention: although the opening rally Alonen All over the interpretation seems still a little hesitant, at the latest ballad Haze lose all cynical critic doubts and hat will get Kärkkäinen's ability to be supported by a piece interpretations. Few successful band almost a decade after the break to hit into the bar so honest and successful tekelettä than Agonizer.Not so good record, something that, unfortunately. The biggest problem is the excessive length of the plate, thirteen songs and the total duration of almost an hour are simply too much. Listener lacks inevitably, when you turn passed on so many pieces - especially when the material is a tad too gay gene assume such an extensive duration. Somewhere around the middle of the tracks blend together, even if listening to a dozen times to the back. Two or three songs dropping plate säväyttäisi even more strongly. For example, Richard Marx cover to Hazard could have willingly leave bonus biisiksi, even if versioning is eligible.Despite the unnecessary ylimittaisuudestaan Visions of the Blind is a high quality wafer, which is guaranteed to satisfy your hunger melometallifanien. The disc is not a revolutionary experiences a roller coaster, but manages to entertain his audience, however, and getting this hum the melodies included. Was a tad above contrast between the compositions and ruthless pruning work sheet should be excellent - in these instructions for making triplet board, which, if allowed to demure desire, I would like to hear before 2025.
