Тексты песен Christ agony
Информация о артисте
Christ Agony одна из самых известных польских блэк металлических групп. Она была создана довольно известной, харизматической личностью по кличке Cezar (упомяну, что существует ещё и Moon - соло проект вокалиста/гитариста Цезаря). Достаточно бескомпромиссный имидж, злые тексты, лого с перевернутым крестом, музыка, слегка напоминающая ранний Samael - чего ещё надо было полякам для полного счастья?
Цезарь: "Я расстался с театральной школой именно ради музыки. Когда-то мне хотелось стать театральным инструктором, осилил два семестра, но к музыке тянуло меня больше, чем к театру... Создавая группу 9 лет назад, я был очень злым молодым человеком, злым на всё, что мне чуждо, и я бунтовал против всего! И всё жe смысл этих символов, пентаграммы и анти-кpecтa, остаётся неизменным - я no-пpeжнему против любой религии, ограничивающей человека, лишающей его свободы личности, прежде всего... Наши тексты направлены против поклонения давно умершему Богу, против мерзких склонностей любой религии ограничивать личную свободу людей... Этот логотип существует с самого начала группы, я сам его разрабатывал."
Группа была создана в самом начале 90-х и, выпустив две демо-записи и кассету Unholyunion (на лейбле Carnage), сумела заполучить контракт с западным лейблом - это был французский Adipocere. По тем временам подобное нечасто случалось с артистами из стран бывшего соцлагеря, так что это было явное признание должного уровня и качества артистов. На упомянутом лейбле был выпущен альбом "Daemoonseth Act 2", 1994, звукоинженер - Tom Bonarowski. Этоторая часть трилогии (Unholyunion, Daemoonseth Act II, Moonlight Act III). Это блэк, может быть даже немножко dark, с почти чистым гитарным саундом. "Daemoonseth Act II" так или иначе считается классическим альбомом трио.
Затем последовала смена лейбла - следующие две работы выходят соответственно на cacophonous (вы слышали хоть одно доброе слово об этом лейбле?), и на faithless: "Moonlight act 3" в 1996 году и переиздание на CD "Hunholy union" в 1996. На альбоме Moonlight - Act III всеми было отмечено высокое качство продукции, в музыкальном и композиционном плане особенно отличалась 13-минутная "Asmoondei", в которой были сконцентрированы все идеи и наработки, характерные для творчства Цезаря. Здесь налицо также влияния от Bathory и Celtic Frost. Надо сказать, что Moonlight Act Iii,1996, продюсировал диск сам Цезарь, звукоинженером был R.Szmit.
Затем появился альбом " Darkside" (уже на Hammerheart Records) - в июне 1997 года. Альбом действительно впечатляет. Christ Agony звучат теперь не просто превосходно, их звук уникален - от progressive black metal до Dark metal. Вместе в Цезарем в создании этого альбома участвовал Док из Vader. Блэковая составляющая все же преобладает, парочка трэков в духе старой Christ Agony, несколько вещей на польском, на spirit seal помимо электроники использовалась флейта. Продюсером стал знаменитый Andy Bomba, звукоинженером в этот раз был назначен Greg Pikowski. Также примечательно участие группы в 1997 году в компиляции Endless Endearments с песней "Kingdom Of Abyss".
И вот Цезарь после мытарств по заграничным лейблам оказывается под крылом земляков - Рagan Records Альбом "Trilogy" - это 7 песен, записанных в 1997 году (Recorded at Selani Studio, Olsztyn, November 1997; Engineered by Andy Bomba & Cezar; Produced by Cezar & Andy Bomba; Lyrics & musics by Cezar; Cover Art by Kris Lutostanski; Picture by Mariusz Maciej Rodziewicz; Design by Jacek Wisniewski), и старое демо как бонус - 4 композиции 1992 года (Recorded at Pro-Studio, Olsztyn, March'92; Engineered by Ryszard Szmit; Produced by Ryszard Szmit/Christ Agony; Music by Christ Agony; Lyrics by Cezar).
Цезарь: "Знаешь, предпочитаю работать с человеком, которого знаю yжe очень давно, чем иметь дело с очередной несерьёзной фирмой из-за западной границы. С Томашем Kpaeвcким, шефом Pagan records, я yжe имел возможность сотрудничать при издании альбома моего npoeкта Moon, Томаш имеет хорошую сеть дистрибьюции, и, по большому счёту, его лэйбл в состоянии обеспечить необходимый уровень промоции."
Альбом Elysium 1999 подвёл определённый итог в деятельности Цезаря и компании. Было извлечено на свет божий всё лучшее, на что способна эта компания. Великолепно спродюсированый, современный dark/black metal, достаточно жесткий, но разнообразный и мелодичный. Да и могло ли быть иначе, когда за дело постановки звука берется продюсер Andy Bomba (Behemoth), а за барабаны садится Doc (Vader).
В 1999 году, после выхода альбома Elysium, до нас дошли странные слухи, что после 10 лет на сцене Цезарь вдруг неожиданно решил расстаться с музыкой - постригся и нашёл нормальную работу (тем более, что именно в то время вышел довольно интересный альбом его сайд проека Moon 'Satan`s Wept'.
Некоторый перерыв в творческой деятельности Цезаря был вызван проблемами со здоровьем (Цезарь имел проблемы с рукой, что ставило под сомнение его дальнейшую карьеру).
Однако уже через год он одумался и снова собрал состав из старых коллег по Christ Agony - однако под новой вывеской, Union. Новое название как бы символизировало возвращение к корням, к первому альбому и его дэт-металическому звучанию. В таком составе команда выпустила альбом... "Christ Agony", выдержанный в ключе жесткого, техничного дэт-блэка, что должно было явно обескуражить заслуженных фанов творчества Цезаря.
В 2008, не в силах отказаться от проверенного имени, он воскрешает Christ Agony и сосредатачивает сила на выпуске короткометражной пластинки и полноформатного альбома, стиль которых можно определить как соединения проникновенных баллад 1994-1996 гг. со злым звучанием Union.

Christ Agony is a Polish black metal band formed in 1990 in Olsztyn, Poland, by Cezary "Cezar" Augustynowicz (vocals & guitar), Żurek (drums), and Ash (bass & vocals). After the second album the line-up changed frequently between recordings. The band dissolved in 2003 due to a conflict with a record label, and released one album under the name Union.

Full biography:
The beginnings of CHRIST AGONY date back to the first months of 1990 and until today, are inseparably connected with Cezar, the founder, the guitarist and the vocalist of the band. The 90s are the start and at the same time the quick prime for CHRIST AGONY. It led to establishing of the band in the leading edge of metal scene and earned the legions of faithful fans.
When in 1990 Bathory released "Hammerhearth", Cezar with the first lineup of the band, i.e. Zurek (drums) and Ash (bass and vocals), worked on the material that was released as the first band's demo, "Sacronocturn". The second demo, "Epitaph of Christ, released in March 1992, drew attention of Carnage Records. It resulted not only in many concerts, but above all, in the publication of full-time album, "Unholyunion", in 1993. The new way of CHRIST AGONY music led to widely understood black metal, and true emotions in their music quickly earned credit among fans and reviewers. "Unholyunion" was to become one of the most original and significant recording in the world of black metal, and CHRIST AGONY themselves were to lay out the direction for that genre.
The next recordings only confirmed the craft and the status of the band on the throne of black. In less than a year after, CHRIST AGONY recorded their second album, "Deamonseath Act II". Apart from signing to Polish Carnage Rec., the band sign their first contract with a foreign label, French Adipocere Rec. The album was promoted with the series of shows that attracted legions of fan.
Despite the lineup commotion the band grew in strength. The rhythm section was taken over by the members of death metal band Dies Irae, Mauser (bass) and Gilan (drums). In that new lineup CHRIST AGONY recorded their third album, "Moonlight Act II". The international label to release that album was British Cacophonous Rec., which had under their wing such bands as Bal Sagoth, Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth, to name a few.
It was 1996. The trilogy came to an end!
The Change
1996 was a productive year. Darkthrone released "Total Death", Varg Vikernes was working in his prison cell, and in Poland, CHRIST AGONY were preparing to begin a new era. The time of changes was coming. The effect, "Darkside" album, was visible in 1997. It was released in Poland by Morbid Noizz, and by Hammerhearth abroad. And despite the fact that Cezar had entered the studio alone, during European tour, where they shared the stage together with Behemoth and Hellheim, he was accompanied by Gilan and Mauser. "Darkside", being an experiment inspired by the works of 17th century English poets, foreshadowed changes. And the changes it brought, however paradoxically, it was the beginning of the break.
The Projects
The break in CHRIST AGONY work, that was caused by misunderstandings as to the created music, gave birth to solo projects, on which Cezar spent his all effort. While the style of MOON has its roots in the music of CHRIST AGONY, the works of WHISPERS are closer to Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. MOON released two official albums, "Daemon's Heart" and "Satan's Wept" (Pagan Records). WHISPERS' "Passions" was released on tape by Demonic Rec.
The differences in style between the two projects were the products of one mind. Cezar gave vent to his indefatigable energy, passion and ideas that were a bit different from the music he had created before. The plans for CHRIST AGONY were becoming distant also due to the Cezar's need of self-fulfillment in other fields. He wrote poetry, short stories, scripts and audiovisual performances that he has not staged until today.
The break was also a big change for Mauser, who joined VADER.
The Comeback
CHRIST AGONY came back in November of 1997, when Cezar invited his fellow musicians to Selani Studio in Olsztyn to record material under the title of "Trilogy". Various artists took part in the session: Blackie on bass, Gilan on drums and instrumentalist Marek Kutnik (Hermh, Prophecy, SS 2666), who programmed drums and played the keyboards. Stylistically, "Trilogy" was the continuation of the first albums, and contained remastered tracks from the cult "Epitaph of Christ" demo tape. The concert lineup, Cezar, Blackie (bass) and Gilan (drums), hit the road, this time with Lux Occulta and Hate. "Trilogy" was released by Pagan Rec.
Cezar kept on creating and exactly a year after, in November 1998, started recording of the material under the title of "Elysium". Among the musicians invited to the studio were Patrick Bissonette (vocals), Marek Kwadrans (bodhran), Bart (drums) and Docent (drums). The new concert drummer became Thoarinus of Sacrilegium. The album was released by Metal Mind Productions and the next set of shows followed, among others Metalmania ’99 and the excellent show at Thrash'em All Festival.
At the end of 1999 a conflict between the band and the management burst out, which resulted in CHRIST AGONY disappearing from the scene for several months, until autumn of 2000, when the musicians started their next tour in Poland together with Domain and Yattering. During one of those shows new material was recorded. It was a live album, "Live-Apocalypse", released by Apocalypse Productions as late as in 2002. The same year, remasters of the first four CHRIST AGONY albums, "Unholyunion/Daemoonseth Act II" (Pagan Records) and "Moonlight/Darkside"(Apocalypse), were released.
Soon after that, Blackie and Thaorinus were replaced by Supreme Lord members: Reyash (bass) and Vitold (drums). However, Vitold did not stay with CHRIST AGONY for long.
The Union
In 2003 Polish metal scene grew in strength. However, for CHRIST AGONY it was the most bitter year in their history. Cezar was fighting against his left hand condition. Ulnar nerve injury had caused paralysis in the left palm, which in turn made it completely impossible for him to play the guitar. After some time he decided to be operated on, and after several months of rehabilitation came back with the material that originally had been meant to be another stage in CHRIST AGONY history.
Frustration caused by those events and meaningless search for help led to signing of a contract due to which the band was forced to change the name to UNION. "Christ Agony" was the name of their album released in 2005. The lineup changed only a bit. The members of UNION were Cezar, Reyash and Mlody, Dissenter drummer.
Next abandonments by the publisher, the general state of affairs in Poland cause Cezar to take another difficult decision - he emigrated.
The Rebirth
2007 was a turning point for Cezar. After he had returned from exile, he didn't lose time: CHRIST AGONY came back to life.
At the moment, the band has finished the session for full-time album "Condemnation". The first act of this album is "Demonology" promo. The author talks about the album with excitement: "'Demonology' contains 5 compositions of sophisticated, devilish taste and truly poetic warble. It's a combination of massive and heavy sound of the guitars, distorted bass, rhythmically pulsing drums and poetry hidden in the lyrics". This is the way the next CHRIST AGONY act is supposed to be. The current lineup, apart from Cezar (vocals/guitar), includes Reyash (bass) and a new personality - Icanraz, drummer already well known from Abused Majesty / Devilish Impressions. That promo, released in limited edition of 666 hand-signed copies, will surely be a rarity for the band's supporters. Read more on Last.fm.
