With their musical roots in bands like Klinik or Suicide Commando this release got lots of admiration as well as criticism but all agreed on one thing: “Voll auf die Fresse, voll auf den Dancefloor.” Full in the face, full on the dance floor! This album Paranoid Destruction entered the DAC (Deutsche Alternative Charts) at Number 7, and AGONOIZE remained in the charts for 8 weeks.
Their second release Open the Gate / To Paradise entered the DAC top 10.
The album, which saw the light of day in October 2004, eradicated all comparisons to other bands and shows what enormous potential is simmering in AGONOIZE.
Club hits alternate with atmospheric songs without the album being boring. Of course this will also raise some questions, but those who saw AGONOIZE live are convinced that they put on a unique show. The live performances with their captive and sometimes brutal scenes show the deepest abyss of mankind and hold the audience spellbound.
Established at the end of 2002 by Mike Johnson and Olli Senger, it soon became apparent that to have a real good presence on stage they needed a good front man. This person was found in the form of front man Chris L. Now nothing stood in the way of AGONOIZE building up the group.
The album and the resulting spin-off numbers were easily written, and following the first concert after the release of their first MCD, nothing could stop them. Their first concert was in April ’04 in Edinburgh, at the Dark City Festival with VNV Nation. This was followed by a concert in Berlin as the support act of [:SITD:], who in return provided a great remix of the Paranoid Destruction MCD.

Agonoize Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Evil comes, spreading terror and chaos.
The ultimate evil.
Evil comes... evil comes.
Open the gate of hell
The ultimate evil
Open the gate of hell
Open the gate of hell
Open the gate of hell
Ultimate evil
The ultimate evil
Time goes by
Relationships, they die
No more contracts to force the world
In mind I keep human words of hope and loyalty
My strength to carry on will disappear
Open the gate of hell
Open the gate of hell
Open the gate of hell
The ultimate evil
The ultimate evil
Tonight I keep human words of hope and loyalty
My strength to carry on will disappear
Open the gate of hell
Open the gate of hell
Open the gate of hell
The ultimate evil
Agonoize's song "Open the Gate" touches on themes of evil, chaos and the end of the world. The lyrics describe an approaching apocalypse that is heralded by a solar eclipse that opens a black hole for the ultimate evil to emerge. The song implies that the relationships and contracts of humanity are powerless in the face of this overwhelming force.
The repeated phrase "Open the gate of hell" signifies a desire to unleash and embrace this end-time evil, implying that humanity has nothing left to lose. The lyrics also suggest a sense of resignation, as the singer recognizes that their strength to carry on will soon disappear.
Overall, "Open the Gate" is a dark and nihilistic song that expresses a desire to give in to the ultimate evil that is believed to be coming.
