#010 - Angels and Agony

A Dutch futurepop quartet Angels and Agony was formed 1995 and they've have now released three albums and four EPs. Surprise surprise, they are also signed to German industrial label Out of Line and Metropolis Records in US side. Of course situation in this industrial genre is not that centralized that it looks based on these first bands I've checked. It's just seem so that Out of Line and Metropolis have their catalogue available in Spotify.

Angels and Agony sound overall OK, but nothing that interesting can be found from their sound. I'd say based on quite small sample that this is more or less the sound that futurepop means. Little too bland for my taste though. Some edges would be really nice addition in here.

Not that much material available in Youtube, but Spotify has almost all of their releases. Here's a sample from their 2001 released album Eternity that was re-released in 2007. This is Van Helsing Video RMX of song Revelation.
