Agathocles – Razor Sharp Daggers (1995)

February 4, 2025

The first 25 tracks on this thing are absolutely top-tier grinding mince. This era of Agathocles is vital for grindcore listeners and it can often be buried in a sea of prolific releases that aren’t all that good. This album, however, is fantastic. Deep, dark, crusty grind with the mandatory political / left-wing undertones (which go hand in hand like a Biscoff with a black coffee, to keep the reference somewhat Belgian haha).

As others have pointed out, after the initial album session (so track 26 onwards), AGx have filled the disc with all sorts of subpar recordings which are not worth your time unless you are an insatiable mincehound dribbling at the mouth for more grinding goodness.
