Their cover of Magic dance shall be faaaabullous

Dance magic dance...Jump Magic Jump...

That's pretty much all this band has ever done

overproduced half-baked Nuclear blast studio pop metal.

Its no surprise they gained so many fans who would not otherwise be into "death metal"

Theyre above average musicians why make horrendously bland music

I found Agony to be one of the most tepid, frustrating, and disappointing releases of 2011. This is coming from someone who really enjoyed Oracles and saw them on one of their first US tours in early 2011. The guys are really nice if a bit shy, but I find it incredibly hard to forgive them for that turd of an album. I really hate tinny symphonic noodling so that might be why I loathed it so much.

I'm looking forward to hating this if it sounds anything like Agony. If not then I'll be surprised. The album art looks archaic and screams Nuclear Blast, which certainly isn't a good thing...

I really don't get the hate on Agony. I've followed this band since about a year before Oracles, and I consider Agony my favourite album of 2011. It seemed to me to be the realisation of the sound they'd always been striving for. It's certainly one for dividing opinions.

Really, though, doesn't the world have enough technical/brutal death metal bands to go around? Symphonic death metal bands aren't exactly a dime a dozen, so I'm happy to embrace their experiments in that style.

Am I the only one smelling a conceptual album in the making? Looking at the cover art/title concept and some of the song's names it does sound like they're going after the story of King Minos, Daedalus, Icarus, etc.

...fucking good and proper was Scrambled Defuncts.

And anyone who thinks Agony is a great piece of work.. you are probably deaf cause there is no other way for me to understand you.

Apparently it was enough to let me know it didn't... instead of you know.... not responding like someone who actually doesn't care.

Now I'm really wishing Scambled Defuncts had a new album out like the last

Fleshgod Apocalypse are to Phlebotomized as recent Dimmu Borgir is to Emperor, that's the problem.

Same here, and that's exactly the reason why I had them as my DM album of 2011 as well: they finally had a budget that could handle recording all the various elements they wished they had in their sound for the first time. It was evident in small doses on Oracles, and Mafia had it a little clearer, but on Agony they finally did it: mix Beethoven-esque classical music with technical death metal, and it was fresh to hear a band do something different.

I'd love to hear what this band could do if they got the balance right, so I'll probably check this new album out. I'm not expecting anything else other than an Agony clone, however.

That's some really bland album art right there.
