"Times they are a changing",and not in the good way. As culture draws its pressure on our heads with great intensity, some of us, luckily, realize this is not more than a mean of crowd control, that there is no freedom. Fewer know that this is something to have to fight for and maybe spread the awareness. Like Ministry's frontman Al jourgensen has already said, Fear is big business. It may be pointed towards our heads, but some dare to point back.

This album's cover art, having the color of cold concrete that could, and at many times, do pave the way to agony, along with photos of bullets and combat related visuals, can give an idea to those who are not familiar with this project about its contents. Evsuk nikita, who is behind the wrathful project "Fear konstruktor", is the throat that stabds in the middle of this intense vocal power electronics. His harsh litanies are supported by distorted feedbacks and samples that never gives a break from their intense hammering. There is no mercy in power electronics and Fear Konstruktor is certainly not one to bring this tradition to an end. "The way to agony" is made from four agonizing parts, each is punishing in its own way. Enclosed in a 3"CDr, Fear Konstruktor manages to bring out an impressive and well thought of release, especially due to time limitations of 3" albums.

Mechanical Invultion opens this album with echoing, filthy and distroted shoutes that are towering over the shifting feedbacked background. This is heavy, and not compromising in any way. Nikita shoves your face into the concrete floor right from the begining. The mechanical litany fades into silence and gives way to the second part – "Distant Targets" begins with the familiar sampling of some military march of some sort and so offers a break from the noise tsunami of the first part. The music slowly drowns in bass drones and the words spat from the mouth of the Fear Konstruktor. The title track, "The way of agony", is the strongest so far, stepping and destroying any and every sense of forgiveness that might have existed before. The pressure is massive at this point, like a heavy blizzard. Again, I am thinking about the concrete wall that is seen on the album's cover and how the sounds are almost grinding the listener to it. "Wake up and defend" begins with higher pitched waves that seem more metallic and sharp in comparison to the first three assaults of the way of agony. The broken distorted loop that is repeating itself below the ongoing, uncomprehensible words of nikita offers no safe way out, and by now, it is well understood that there is not going to be an easy way out of this brutal assault.

An interesting little gem for those who find comfort in the sonic attacks of white house and grey wolves. Go get it!
