Straight from the shores of Aberystwyth, Wales, The Agony And The Agony is the screamo/metalcore band of the moment. While subscribing to the essential principles and machinations of the genre (influences such as Bullet For My Valentine, Bring Me The Horizon and Bad Omens), the group also pushes the misery index into new realms, incorporating the works of pessimistic German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer and quasi-nihilist philosopher Emil Cioran of Romania. Oh, and how can we forget iconic Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman's Seventh Seal and Persona films?
After a blistering self-titled debut album, Agony Squared (as their diehard fans refer to them) have released what is being called the "Use Your Illusion" of sorrow. "Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory/Defeat From The Jaws Of Defeat" is a double album that digs deep into the integral notion that nothing is everything, and everything is nothing.
