The most important thing when talk about Agathocles is their long period existence since 1985 and it means that they had been stayed true to themselves for almost twenty-five years! This newest ‘Grind Is Protest’ is a feast of recognition because the band returns to the ferocious period mid nineties. Consists of 40 tracks of "gone in a minute" songs. The album's duration last less then 38 minutes, it mean every single song last less then a minute! You can moan and say Agathocles repeats himself, but what you see is what you get : honest grindcore, great Sound Shape Studio sound, without compromise and filled with left winged socio-economical attitude. On their eleventy-billionth release, Agathocles once again lay into all the usual suspects, fuming and raging against militarism, fascisms and a whole host of other bad –isms with the single-mindedness that’s prerequisite to spending 20 years trying to make a career out of dozens of splits with no name bands on fly by night labels and poorly attended basement shows while giving the finger to niceties like health insurance, rent money and retirement funds. I wish Tony ((R.I.P) Bass Player ) were still here to enjoy it. Well, just enjoy, this is Agathocles is mincing the core!
