The song marks a new chapter in the band&#8217;s creative tale, with the dark demon Agon taking center stage as an ever-present presence harassing Ilinx, the project&#8217;s enigmatic creator. Drawing heavily on Ministry&#8217;s industrial brutality, the track&#8217;s pounding drum\u00a0beat dominates the mix. The balance of industrial violence and post-metal delicate touch is particularly remarkable. The guitar work includes post-hardcore riffs that are\u00a0dynamic, adding catchy\u00a0moments\u00a0throughout the creative\u00a0chaos. The complex arrangement is reminding\u00a0of Nine Inch Nails, nevertheless &#8220;Agon&#8217;s Curse&#8221; maintains its own character thanks to its \u00a0raw and violent style. The arrangement centers on the standard trio of bass, guitar, and drums, creating a dark and unpleasant atmosphere that complements the track&#8217;s dystopian basis. Although the drum sound is purposely loud and raw, it could benefit from compression to balance the mix. However, this rawness may be intentional, corresponding to the project&#8217;s underground attitude and terrifying subjects. As an instrumental composition, &#8220;Agon&#8217;s Curse&#8221; succeeds in using sound to tell stories. It&#8217;s heavy, energetic, and ruthless. Despite its rough edges, it provides an intriguing listening experience for fans of industrial and post-metal who appreciate a bit of terror in their music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dark Aries Project (D.A.P) - Agon&#039;s Curse #darkariesproject\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M2prpifAk-E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/darkariesofficial\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/darkariesofficial<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/mark_oliver_guitar?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==\">https:\/\/instagram.com\/mark_oliver_guitar?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Agon&#8217;s Curse,&#8221; the latest release from the one-man dystopian horror post-metal band Dark Aries Project,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,5],"tags":[4283,633],"class_list":["post-25849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hard-music","category-reviews","tag-dark-aries-project","tag-industrial-metal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25849"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25852,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25849\/revisions\/25852"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
