Christ Agony Biography
Hailing from Poland, home to some of the world's most excessive heavy metal bands, the controversially named Christ Agony was the brainchild of enigmatic, ever present leader Cezar (vocals/guitar), whose early-days cohorts included bassist Mauser and drummer Gilan. Emerging in the early ‘90's with the Unholy Union L.P., Cezar's evil crew quickly proved as daringly inventive as they were conceptually shocking, issuing a string of L.P.'s (including 1994's Daemononseth: Act II and 1995's Moonlight: Act III) which gradually evolved from viciously inaccessible to increasingly sophisticated, culminating in 1996's surprisingly melancholy departure Darkside. Following a European tour with fellow Polish favorites Behemoth, Cezar committed some time to his side project Moon before resuming his work with Christ Agony (now featuring bassist Blackie and drummer Thoarinus) for a couple of more aggressive, back to basic albums in ‘98's Trilogy and ‘99's Elysium. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
