Agonizer releases it's debut album in world record depth Agonizer & Pyhäsalmi mine presents Heavy Metal Underground +1400 Agonizer makes history by releasing it's debut album "Birth / The end" in a world record depth of 1400 meters underground. World record depth concert will be available only for a limited audience as a safety measure. With this concert Agonizer will make Guinnes record "Deepest Concert Underground". Breaking the record in the future will be quite difficult because the Pyhäsalmi mine, working as the concert place is the deepest in Europe. Heavy Metal Underground, "after party": After the concert in the mine, Agonizer will be playing for a larger audience in Hotel Pyhäsalmi. Tickets for this concert will cost 2e. |

FINALLY SOME NEW INFORMATION FROM THE NUCLEAR BLAST'S BAND CONTEST: We noticed that there’s some ongoing flurry in the message board concerning the band contest. No surprise, ‘cause the deadline for submissions dates back several months now and rumours are that the whole thing just fizzled out. That is definitely not the truth! We here at Nuclear Blast take this whole contest very seriously and therefore we’ve got to give it the time it takes, which is a bit longer than expected. Listening to the several thousands (!) of entries not only showed us once again, that the metal-underground is alive and kickin’ like never before, but there are a lot of new and fresh bands who definitely deserve their chance, and they will get it sooner or later. It has taken a lot of time filtering out the best bands out of so many REALLY good entries. Right now, we’re in contact with some bands and we’re confident to present the winning band by the end of June (yeah, this year!). We are terribly sorry to keep all you bands, Fans and interested Metalheads on tenterhooks, but one thing’s certain: the winnig band will kick some serious butt, so the few extra weeks of waiting will soon be forgotten. Stay metal… and stay patient! www.nuclearblast.de |

AGONIZER'S KEYBOARD PLAYER LEFT THE BAND Agonizer's keyboard player has left the band. The reason is the lack of his personal interest. We're trying to figure out how we'll get over this. Maybe Agonizer will make some new music without the keyboards, or with keyboards. Hard to say just now. If there's some sad news, there's some good news also. Atte Palonagas is now the full member of the band. |
