The new album from Seattle’s progressive blackened death quartet BLIGHTED EYE is out now and streaming on all major platforms.
Agony’s Bespoke is a monumental, hour-long work, marking a new height for the band’s growing skills of songwriting and storytelling. Theatrical and immersive, the album is heavily inspired by the 2018 Australian film, “Nightingale,” and tells a similarly tragic story. Highlighting the transformative power of violence and the ultimate futility of revenge, the album seeks to explore the lasting emotional and psychological impact of trauma.
Agony’s Bespoke is available via Beyond the Top Records on digipak CD, limited-edition vinyl, and digital formats. Order now at:
