Decayer - The Agony Cycle

Review by Chris Ticehurst

The Agony Cycle by Decayer is a metalcore album that showcases the band's talent for creating heavy, intense music. The album is a journey through the band's emotions and experiences, with each track telling a story of pain, struggle, and perseverance.

The album opens with "The Beginning of the End," a hard-hitting track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the album takes the listener on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, with tracks like "Broken" and "The Agony Cycle" exploring themes of heartbreak and loss.

One standout track is "Lost," which features a haunting piano melody and emotional vocals from lead singer Brandon Smith. The track builds to a powerful climax, with heavy guitars and pounding drums creating a sense of catharsis.
