Their musical pathways had previously crossed many times, but it was not until Dianoya that they began to compose together.

The Agonyst

"The Agonyst began as a two piece experiment in 1998 with Louis Coates and David Perrin (IHU, Supernoisegod, Dog Eat Fondue, The Skagbeetles). David became too busy swanning around with his la-di-da posh friends doing poppers and ramming each others brown ones to continue in the project, so their collaborative efforts were archived to possibly later be ripped off.
To this day, Louis continues the hunt for info-hungry musicians with the talent and sex appeal to make people almost forget that the guy at the front is definately genetically flawed on a very obvious level.
