\r\nWell, welcome to MetalZone.gr, CRYSTAL TEARS, at last we got to talk, hehe… So let’s cut to the chase… The new album is about to be released with Ian Parry on vocals. How did that happen and how do you feel working with an artist like Ian?

\r\nZak told www.metalzone.gr about their tour so far, how educative the show in Slovenia was, the upcoming Circle II Circle album which will probably surface early 2010, the DVD that is going to follow this release, which will include footage from their current tour, but also the feeling he has for his band nowdays.

\r\nAGATHODAIMONs dark metal avantgarde is displaying a huge variety\r\nof styles combined to a new musical cavalcade. Poetic lyrics,\r\nmisantrophic, yet darkly romantic and conterintuitive melancholic,\r\nsourrounded by devastating riffs, rooting in black- and deathmetal,\r\ndecorated with modern keyboard elements, carrying earwick melodies and\r\natmosphere.
