Agonizer is a Finnish power metal band formed in 1998. Their particular style of power metal sets them apart from the hordes of other bands in this genre, however. The music is somewhat typical with ultra-fast twin-guitar shredding, blast beats, and symphonic keyboard arrangements, but the vocal style of Pasi Kärkkäinen is a far cry from typical. He stays in the low- to mid-ranges and tends to be a bit throaty and raw, which makes Agonizer a much more intriguing listen. Having released three demos by 2002, Century Media took an interest in signing Agonizer but for some reason broke off negotiations after six months. Even in the very crowded power metal genre, these Finns have that slight edge it takes to survive and I hope a label decides to take a chance on them.
