After nine long years since the release of their last studio album, CHRIST AGONY returns with the album "Anthems"!
And despite all that has been said and done, the mastermind Cezar is still standing. What's more, Cezar has managed to pull himself out of the abyss of extreme life in favor of a more quiet, observational and mature attitude as an artist and a human being.
His return will not be met with universal applause - not even from the black metal scene. For anyone who has followed the turbulent career of Cezar and his pioneering band, which pushed the boundaries of the genre into new territory, this comes as no great surprise. With their ninth studio album, "Anthems", CHRIST AGONY once again presents a work that can compete with the trilogy of albums considered by many to be the pinnacle of the black metal pioneers' earlier career: "Unholyunion" (1993), "Daemoonseth Act II" (1994) and "Moonlight" (1996).
Like a hellish steamroller, each track on "Anthems" crushes and crushes.
The album features all the darkest elements that CHRIST AGONY is known for: sharp, distinctive vocals, the weight of the guitars, moments of ecstasy and beauty captured in hellish soundscapes.
And yet there are also subtle details that the musically experienced Cezar has always cleverly hidden in his sonic assault, such as acoustic guitars, uplifting vocal choruses, and a touch of melancholy.
"Anthems" connects Christ Agony to their glory days - not as a nostalgic reminiscence, but as a forward-looking continuation and next evolutionary step.
If there is one thing that distinguishes this album, it is the maturity that comes from experience and learning. Cezar's diabolically catchy songs are heavier than ever and have not lost their edge. This may be due to the fact that this is the first Christ Agony album that Cezar has composed and produced for many years. "Anthems" makes Christ Agony enter the musical arena again. This album clearly has great musical strength and lyrical courage.
Christ Agony has set another ambitious milestone with "Anthems"!
The album is scheduled to be released on September 26, 2025. The publisher will be Deformeathing Prod.
