Life of Agony

Life of Agony suffers from a wee bit of schizophrenia: they nonchalantly skip from Grunge-inspired noisy rock riffs; make stops at more abrasive, more intelligent Alternative Metal; then skid down the merry path to land in a murky stew of Thrash. Whichever of the heavy, menacing genres they tackle, they manage to do so with an impressive amount of skill and passion to spare.
