Agony Divine - Tommorrow Never Comes 2003 Demo
 "HEAVY!" That was my first impression after first spinning "Tomorrow
Never Comes".
It was only after repeated listens that I came to fully appreciate this demo. Coming in at
only a little under 10 minutes, Agony Divine show no remorse delivering kick-ass, catchy,
to-the-point dark Heavy Metal. If you're looking for a worthy death/thrash band, then look
no further than Agony Divine who reminds me of an amalgam of Exodus/Possessed/Dark
Angel/early Sepultura kicked in the face with an angry dose of groove-induced hardcore.
Screaming vocals accompanying lower death grunts, solid bass playing filling when
necessary, catchy guitar rhythms and riffs and loaded with plenty of cymbal crashes to
fulfill the listener until the full-length Agony Divine release. My only
"complaint" would be that there are little to no guitar solos, but when I sit
back and think about it, there really is no need.
From the accelerated fury of "Expansion", to the eerie intro to
"Manipulation" into the bone crunching chorus, closing out with the more
straight-forward "No Forgiveness", Agony Divine is Heavy Metal played none other
than the reason for the love of the genre. "Tomorrow Never Dies" shows much
promise from this "new" band of North Carolinians. Anyone into good, honest,
thrash/death-core, contact Agony Divine for a pro-recorded demo at:
