Sangria were originally featured on the blog back in 2011 when I reviewed their outstanding debut album from 2009. Now 5 years later Sangria are back with their 2nd album - Agnosis. I have to thank Steve Woodier for arranging to have this album sent to me for review purposes. Steve Woodier knows his stuff when it comes to bleak and heavy Doom/Sludge Metal. Sangria are one of his fave current bands within the Doom/Sludge Metal scene. I am happy to report that Agnosis is a heavy pounding exercise in sheer brutality. Sangria do not hold back in unleashing a ton of hard-hitting riffs to pound your entire body into submission.

The vocals are just as powerful and deadly as the music itself as they stay dangerous and earth-shatteringly loud through out. Opening track - Ritualista - sets up the scene for what is to come for the next 40 mins so. Menacing Sludge/Doom Metal with a groovy sideline of slow paced riffs that shows Sangria are a band not be messed with. The album does not change styles for the rest of the album as Sangria slowly make you go insane with the high amount of brutal riffs they have in store for you. The mood is one of bleak anger and pitch black fury where there is no turning back. Agnosis captures the raw intensity of a classic Death/Black Metal album and gives it a Sludge/Doom Metal makeover. Tracks such as Agnosis, Catarsis and Averno maybe too heavy for some people to listen to and that is a good thing as Sangria play by their own rules. They bow down to no-one. Agnosis maybe one of the heaviest and nastiest Sludge Metal albums the South American Metal scene has ever produced as Sangria live upto their reputation as one of the loudest bands ever to come from Chile.
