The Agony Scene Breaks Up

2008-10-18 by Heikneuter | 27 Comments
Vocalist Mike Williams of the Tulsa quintet THE AGONY SCENE has confirmed that the band has officially called it quits:

"We reached a point where it wasn't making financial sense and we felt it was better to quit while we were ahead rather than dragging it out and dragging ourselves further into debt," he explained.

"I'm sad so see it end before I was ready to move on, but tastes change and times change and it just felt like the right time to call it quits.

We're gonna be seeing this more and more with all of these metal bands who's vocalists scream.

Himsa, The Agony Scene, From Autumn to Ashes, Mendeed, and there are more I can't think of.

Hardly any of these bands will be around in 10 years.

This is a shame. At least they left an album as good as the darkest red, they can go out proud!

We need to have 'moron filters' installed on this site to prevent comments like this from happening.

Ever heard of Drowning Pool? Now who's the moron.

O, and yeah, this band has been on the downward slope, so it's best they called it quits.
