Agonized By Love - Lovesick Society

by Ambient Decay on May 8th, 2008

The second release in Alfa Matrix’s conceptual “budget” line of full length CD albums under the “playstation-line” motto; these albums being characterised by their initial low pricing and their playstation box packaging. Support the young blood on our music scene before it gets threatened by extinction!! It has been said that the best descriptive word for describing ‘Lovesick Society‘, the second album by Polish Post New Romantic band Agonized by Love, is change.

The reason being is this new album all started with a line-up change as musician Mariusz Gryciuk has, as we all know, departed from the group. This split pushed Rafal Tomaszczuk (lead singer) into exploring new grounds and essentially into new found emotions. He discovered a deep dichotomy in his inner self as well as a place that is described as “somewhere in between the contradicting worlds of Love and Sickness“. So 3 years down the road, this album was constructed on colliding worlds and contradictories.

“While we recognize the previous album, ‘All Of White Horizons‘ as a theme of rejected love, hopes and dreams; we also enter a new twisted dimension, a sick world full of despair, insanity and nightmares…”

It is the unexpected encounter between the raw and dark side between the new keyboardist and prominent Polish DJ Bartosz “H_12″ Hervy and the enigmatic romantic lyrics of Agonized by Love’s unique singer. ‘Lovesick Society’ stands at a crossroads between the tortured darkness of The Cure’s ‘Disintegration‘ album and Depeche Mode’s club-ish romantic pop sensations. This new album is nothing less than a poignant and alluring dark wave opus that will touch the very fibers found deep…deep in your heart. The album is due to release on May 23rd of this year (2008)
