Biography translated from German to English.
It is seldom that a newcomer splits the electro scene in two parts with their first release in a way how Mike J. Olli S. and Chris L. did with their MCD Paranoid Destruction.
With the musical roots coming from bands like Klinik or Suicide Commando this release got lots of admiration as well as criticism but all reactions agreed: Voll auf die Fresse, voll auf den Dancefloor. Full in the face, full on the dance floor! This album Paranoid Destruction entered the DAC (German Alternative Charts) at the 7th position and AGONOIZE remained in the charts for 8 weeks.
Also their second release Open the Gate / To Paradise promptly entered the DAC on a top 10 position.
The album which saw the daylight in October 2004 eradicated all comparisons with other bands and shows what enormous potential is simmering in AGONOIZE.
Club hits alternate with atmospheric songs without the album being boring. Of course this will also raise some questions, but those who saw AGONOIZE live, are convinced that they are a unique show. The live performances with their captive and sometimes brutal scenes show the deepest abyss of mankind and keep the audience in place with its spell.
Established at the end of 2002 by Mike Johnson and Olli Senger, it soon became apparent that to have a real good presence on stage they needed a good front man. This person was found in the personality of front man Chris L. So nothing was in the way for AGONOIZE to start their work of building up the group.
The album and the resulting spin-off numbers were easily written, and after the first concert after the release of their first MCD, nothing could stop it. Their first concert was in April 04 in Edinburgh in the context of the Dark City Festival with VNV Nation. Followed by a concert in Berlin as the support act of SITD who in return provided a great remix of the Paranoid Destruction MCD.
Meanwhile AGONOIZE can hardly manage the concert inquiries, both from the inland and foreign country.
AGONOIZE has concluded the work for their new EP which is planned for April 2005 and are currently in the production phase of their second album, to go on tour and shake the earth afterwards.
