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.

alright dude the beginning of your review started out good and i was stoked until i got to your whining about promoting rape!! first of all learn how to take a fuckin joke, second of all, did you read the rest of the lyrics??? because the second verse is about raping a priest, just so people like you couldnt say it was sexist. and the point of the song being that although this nun and priest were raped and they asked forgiveness from their god, he still punished them, for things they had no control of. just like in the muslim faith if some woman gets raped the whole family disowns her cause she shamed the family, and then she ends up getting murdered, like she had a choice. which is the point im trying to make, and why the song is funny as hell, when it says that this priest gets raped by another man and its not his fault, yet god wont let him into heaven because hes gay. you completely missed the point of the lyrics, that arent glorifying rape, but that after a life of devoted service they get screwed by god for shit they couldnt help!! so its too bad that theres people like you in the world that define this as pro-rape, when you take it waaaaayyyy out of context and act like i go around raping nuns and priests in real life! its called comedy dude. and pushing the envelope. so why do you “PC” hippies feel you have to go and possibly ruin the reputation of a band you dont know anything about, just because you cant comprehend the meaning. but you feel the need to go out and look for anything and everything you can to dissect and complain about. in the punk scene nowadays you have to constantly walk on eggshells and be worried about every little thing you say, so that you dont offend anyones beliefs or morals. i thought punk was supposed to be about freedom of expression, pushing the limits, offending normal society, and having a sense of humour!? but it seems that punk is nothing more than a mainstream, political bandwagon now, that must be sensitive to everybodys feelings, and make sure you eat your vegetables!(before you say anything about the vegetable comment, our drummer is vegan) nobody thinks for themselves anymore but reads shit like this and just agrees to let other people think for them!! another thing i wonder is why you didnt mention the raping of the priest?? you were offended by the woman being raped but not the man? isnt that kind of closeminded? anyway next time try and take the time to really understand the context and meaning before you go opening your mouth. i also wonder if Anal Cunt had to deal with this kind of shit? yours truly….Stinken [/] NOISE COMPLAINT…. and watch out for our 2012 UK tour this november 23rd- december 1st!
If you write stupid lyrics people are going to call you out. Anal Cunt wrote lots of stupid lyrics too and it’s no surprise that they were called out on it too.
mitt romney cabinet thingy majigy man said it is gods choice/their destiny if they are raped. and is anti abortion of course. the lyrics are relevant biatch
have you been to school dan? stupid is thinking to be right even without questioning about something you don’t know or didn’t fully understand. is questioning allowed in your one track minded profane existences? guys the more you write the more you suck. do pc people apologize at some point if they need to?

Sadly enough, you ARE P.C., dude. As he said, this does not condone or suggest that the action is okay. Punk is and always will be a place where all speech and criticism is welcome, no matter how ridiculous or ludicruous it may be to you or anyone else. The world is not a utopia where language is to be policed. In fact, I’d argue it’s quite antithetical.
And Dan, Anal Cunt was a fucking joke band. If you’re too thick to see through that, then I would suggest you don’t really have a place here in punk, at all. Most of the original punk bands that started were rather offensive and annoying, and in the best possible way. They were shocking, and it caught peoples’ attention.
Oh cry me a river. Stupid is stupid now matter how you try to excuse it.
Whatever you say.
