The first thing you’ll realise when hearing Moonlight Agony is the influences are so heavily seeded in their work it’s almost as if they have reincarnated their idols, their heroes; Dream Theater, Symphony X, Helloween and Children of Bodom to name but a few. The tracks are full and have an immense sense of clarity behind them. The drums are powerful and push the music forward with every bar with some lovely pedal work. The guitars and vocals add to that symphonic feel which is apparent in Moonlight Agony’s repertoire.
This is their second album which was complete late summer in 2006. They have gigged heavily in Sweden and played the Axefeast festival in Gothenburg in 2004; not something to
sneer at when you’re an aspiring band trying to take off. Especially since it was the same year that their first album; Echoes of a Nightmare, was released.
This album is a mix of orchestral harmonies that intertwine with the likes of power metal and progressive rhythmic change which creates something worth listening to. Moonlight Agony have managed to push the boundaries of their music and deliver us a feast from which to sup. The album has been one of the better releases of this recent tirade of music. They are not your black metal or death metal band of Finnish aptitude, nor are they the jumping pop-wriggles of let us say; Caliban. Instead they are something more, they are something accessible yet layered with integrity and skill which surpasses recent releases.
I am very impressed with the production of the album and the tracks so far. The first four tracks just blast you into the world of Moonlight Agony and what it is they are attempting to represent in their music. Meaningful lyrics and musical talent to emphasise it, Moonlight Agony are a band worth listening to. If you enjoy that Ensiferum meets Dream Theater mix then you’ll love Moonlight Agony. They have showed a great talent in this album and it would be superb to see them at a festival or a gig. You know you’re in for a treat when the double pedals are parrying the blows of riff magic cast with determination and energy.
Look out for track six; I’m Alive, where you will, by every guarantee (even Tesco’s) love the drum work and the power that is thrown at you. It is an anthem in itself and carries the album past the half way point and into the realms of sheer brute force. Heavy tracks and punchy keyboard work with strings and odd electro sections will make you smile in that "I love this" way. Go find out about Moonlight Agony and be impressed. Do it.
