Glory or Agony was finished recording in June 2024, shortly after the release of the debut album Key to the Unbreachable. Initially, it was intended to be a full-length album, but 3 songs and an intro have been cut off and left for the archives. Why this change and just a digital release? Well, after Viktor Gustafsson of Watcher got together with four live members to play a gig as support for Helvetets Port, his vision of Watcher was once again taken to another level. From singing, playing and writing all music himself, he now saw the increased potential Watcher could achieve if becoming a band with talented musicians mastering their own instruments. At some moments it seemed like Glory or Agony would not see the light of day at all, but that would have been a shame, and therefore the digital EP is now available for streaming.
Just like the single Beyond the Iron Gate, featuring the title song and the Swedish track ÖB:s Klubba, the Glory or Agony EP holds the same essence of Heavy Metal. With a more progressive style to it than the debut album, and more influenced by Fates Warning and Icon, you can expect a shifting atmosphere from darkness to brightness, fist-banging melodies and epicness. And as always, Viktor’s vocals is wrapped in a cloak of powerful melancholy to leave no one untouched.
The digital EP of Glory or Agony is a closing chapter of Watcher as a solo project. Heavy Metal in the new shape of Watcher is already in the making. STAY TUNED!
This is a Turborock Productions release.
