Pred sabo imam digipack francoskega benda, ki je nekako pristal na Hongkoški založbi Godschild Music in posnel slabih 30 min izvrstnega drvečega emocora. Glasba je melodična in privlačna ter meša tisto značilno kričanje za francoske scream-emo bende skupaj z živahnim petjem. Tu in tam se pojavi predel, ki zna biti rahlo agresiven ampak, takoj nastopijo še prepletajoče melodije in že vse skupaj gladko drvi dalje. Meni se stvar zdi super...nekaj lepega in prijetnega za poslušat, sicer pa ne vem s kom bi jih lahko primerjal, kajti ne nalitim pogosto na bende kot so Aghast. Stil je vsekakor francoski s tistim značilnim otožnim/emocionalnim ozračjem znotraj glasbe. Digi-pack ima malce nenavaden 'astronavtski' izgled (zaljubljeni astronavti, vesolje, rakete), ampak mi deluje nekako amatersko in bi vsekakor lahko bil boljše napravljen. Besedila so sprva malce zmedene, ampak niso slaba...ena osebne narave, druga kritizirajo. V zadnjih dneh sem naletel na veliko novih bendov iz francije in Aghast so zagotovo eden izmed njih. Dobra stvar!

English Version:
Here I'm holding a digipack of a french outfit that somehow ended on Godschild Music from Hong Kong. They deliver close to 30 min of excellent emocore I would describe as melodc, driving and catchy with distinctive french-emo-style screaming blended with some vivid singing. Here and than they can be slightly (really slightly) aggressive but a second later nice twisting melodies pop out and everything smoothly drives on. I really like it...it's something beautiful and pleasant to listen and since Aghast's style is not that frequent in today's hc/punk scene I can't really find theam a good comperison. The style is definitely french, possessing this melancholic/emotional feeling inside the music. Digipack's ''astronautic'' appearance is a bit strange showing astronauts in love, space, rockets, etc. and looks somehow amaterish. I don't know, it could be done better! lyrics can be at first confused but they're not bad...sometimes personal, sometimes critical. These days I came through many fresh bands out of France and Aghast are definitely one of them. Good stuff!
