Agony Voices

Agony Voices came up in the early 2000s from the underground metal scene. Their debut album was called 'A New Beginning,' which also became one of their notable songs. The band's lineup has stayed fairly consistent, with Erik Lundquist on vocals and guitar, Magnus Svensson on drums, and Joel Andersson on bass.

Their music leans into melodic death metal and thrash, with song titles like 'Abyss Of Despair' and 'Burning In Darkness' pointing toward darker themes. They followed up with albums such as 'The Wages of Sin' and 'Into the Abyss.' Over time, their lyrics drew some criticism for being graphic, which became part of their reputation.

They kept putting out records and playing shows, building a following without much change to their core sound or members. Tracks like 'Desire For Pain' and 'Delusions Of Death' fit right into that vein, heavy, melodic, and unapologetically intense.
