We expect all those asking to be added to the "my friends" list for this site to be responsible, adult members of society. We will not accept members to the "my friends" list who condone acts which are illegal in this country or the country in which that potential "friend" resides. We do not and will never condone illegal, irresponsible behavior such as using illegal drugs, committing acts of unjustified violence, drinking blood, participating in cannibalism, or anything of that nature. Please note this before asking us to be your "friend." And if you are denied by us, this is likely the reason why we have done so. Thank you.
Only comments relating to Agatus will be accepted here. Personal communications with the band members should be taken up with them directly. In other words, don't write useless stuff here, you will be wasting your time.

Thanks for the add! I've adored Agatus ever since I accidentally stumbled upon The Dawn of Martyrdom in a used CD-store (what luck!). I really hope Agatus and Zemial will come to Holland this summer.
