Finally, the third LP from AGNOSY has arrived!
Dark, heavy, galloping crust from the streets of London. AGNOSY is back to present us with a ferocious beast of an album that can only be forged by the anger and frustration of living in today’s world. “When Daylight Reveals The Torture” aggressively attacks evils such the current rise of fascism and animal abuse. It intelligently and passionately touches on the Afrin invasion and the revolution in Rojava and shows nothing but utter disgust toward the arrogance of humankind’s lust for greed and power that will inevitably lead us down paths of war and environmental devastation.
While lyrically AGNOSY are much more politicly straight forward this time around than on previous releases, musically they have expanded on their sound to create a dark and moody atmosphere while at the same time staying crust as fuck. To say they know what they are doing would be an understatement from this band of vets whose members have played in HIATUS, HEALTH HAZARD, and BEGINNING OF THE END.
Long galloping intros are followed up by traditional d-beat, fierce solo’s are then meet with vicious vocals and pulverizing bass in a brilliant recording captured by Lewis Johns at The Ranch Production House and was mastered by Brad Boatright at Portland’s legendary Audiosiege. We then pressed on deluxe heavyweight 150-gram vinyl, printed on reverse board jackets, and included an 11in x 22in gatefold insert to bring you a high quality and truly epic record.

heeyyy punxxxx…… whats with the name “DISRAPE”? i wonder have you thought about the implication of the word rape? its pretty sketchy. and i see here that lyrically you have described your influences as “the progressive rape of MANKIND” which just makes it all that much more sketch. bummmer…
The prefix “dis” gives it the opposite meaning, therefore their name could just as easily be “anti-rape.” I’ve never met this band before, but I’m fairly certain they are not singing the praises of the items that influence them!
Discharge means un-charged then. That’s not punk. Technically the whole genre is a lie and we should all just kill ourselves? JUST KIDDING, YOU’RE A RETARD
I’m more offended by retard. It’s just a stupid thing to say. In the future please don’t sidestep thinking and please try and be more clever than that. Punk doesn’t have to be synonymous with asshole.
Rape is used in many different contexts…the rape of the environment is one common example alone found in the dictionary. Rape is often used to describe the ‘destruction’ of something, even by academics and journalists. Are Anti Cimex “sketchy” for having an album and song named ‘Raped Ass’? Do you support them? Are history textbooks and academics “sketchy” because they commonly describe events such as the ‘Rape of Nanking’? This really isn’t any different. Furthermore, even if a historical textbook, song name, or band uses ‘Rape’ as a title, that does not mean they condone it and it’s ridiculous to assume that. I think it’s pretty apparent they DO NOT support rape or destruction of the world after reading their biography. I don’t find the name sketchy at all when you put it into context. Great band, smart name. Rape sucks, and as a survivor of sexual violence myself, I feel strongly about this topic. Keep pumping out wicked released Disrape. Excited for the full-length.
