Last Agony

Last Agony

Death Wave

Sentient Ruin Laboratories

***Toronto’s berserk terror-crust raiders last agony return with their incinerating sophomore album. In its pulverizing twenty minutes "Death wave" discharges an ear-splitting assault of blown-out raw hardcore punk and speed metal destruction doused in nuclear vice and ablaze with visions of a polluted, dark and violent world headed straight Into doom. Japanese noise-punk, scandinavian crust, UK d-beat and anarcho-punk, and various declinations of grind and speed metal all deliberately consumed by a raw and caustic production pushed to its limits, collapse into apocalyptic maelstrom of noise, speed and distortion in which the only law reigning is that of anarchy, chaos, and of no law at all. Fans of Doom, Anti-Cimex, Extreme Noise Terror and Napalm Death will instantly be drawn into the madness and destruction of Last Agony’s lawless assault, but this is far from just a mere throwback exercise. This is the sound of a broken world gone deaf, dumb and insane, and disintegrating into the wake of its own failures and horrendous self-destructiveness.

The Imminent Slaughter

Sentient Ruin Laboratories

***Canadian nuclear wasteland raw hardcore noise-punk incursors Last Agony present "The Imminent Slaughter", their incinerating official debut full-length LP issued in conspiracy with Sentient Ruin. On the savage debut album Last Agony let loose all their most negative and harrowing visions of a polluted, dark and violent world, birthing one of the most unnerving and lawless strains of primitive aural chaos to have been vomited from the North American punk scene this year. In the war-torn twenty minutes of weaponized aural mayhem, Last Agony put on display an unrivaled sonic assault of primitive cruelty and raw hostility, thrusting influences ranging from European early heavy punk bastions like Doom, Anti-Cimex and Electro Hippies, to Japanese d-beat noise deviants in the vein of Gauze and Deathside, all the way to primitive grindcore vanguards like Repulsion, Extreme Noise Terror, early Napalm Death and Terrorizer into a blown out and noise-corroded terrorscape of total anarchy and chaos. If you like it fast, loud, raw, visceral and lawless, search no further, because Last Agony have brought us one of the most nerve-shattering and apocalyptic storms of unhinged and primordial punk-metal wrath that you will hear all year.
