Our Take
Our Take
Belgian grindcore legends AGATHOCLES have been churning out raw, unapologetic noise since their formation in 1985. With their latest release on Displeased Recordings, the band continues to deliver their signature brand of blistering fast, politically charged music.
From the moment the opening track kicks in, you're hit with a sonic assault that doesn't let up until the final note. The relentless blast beats, screeching vocals, and buzzing guitars create a cacophony of sound that is both brutal and exhilarating.
Lyrically, AGATHOCLES doesn't hold back, tackling topics such as social injustice, government corruption, and the struggles of everyday life. The band's DIY ethos shines through in their uncompromising approach to their music, making it clear that they are not here to cater to mainstream tastes.
While some may find AGATHOCLES' abrasive sound off-putting, those who appreciate the raw energy and passion of underground music will find much to love in this album. It's not for the faint of heart, but for those who can handle the intensity, AGATHOCLES' latest offering is a must-listen for fans of extreme music.

About the artist
Agathocles
AGATHOCLES, the Belgian grindcore legends, have been terrorizing eardrums and armies since the late 80s with their relentless barrage of sonic chaos. With a name inspired by a tyrant ruler of ancient Syracuse, this band is not here to play nice. Lead by Jan Frederickx, the only consistent member throughout the band's numerous lineup changes, AGATHOCLES are known for their blistering fast songs, often clocking in at under a minute. But don't let the brevity fool you, these guys pack a punch like a sledgehammer to the face. Their discography is vast and impressive, with over 100 releases to their name, including splits with fellow grindcore heavyweights like Nasum and S.O.B. Their lyrics tackle social and political issues with a razor-sharp edge, often delivered with a dose of dark humor. AGATHOCLES' live shows are a whirlwind of chaos and energy, with Frederickx's manic energy driving the band forward at breakneck speed. Audience members are known to leave their shows bruised and battered, but grinning from ear to ear. In a genre known for its aggression and intensity, AGATHOCLES stand out as true pioneers, pushing the boundaries of what grindcore can be. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener looking to expand your musical horizons, AGATHOCLES should be on your radar. Just be prepared to have your mind blown and your ears ringing for days.
