4-page booklet (.jpg, 2400*1200) : [front] [back]
Lyric sheet (.txt) : [here]

Originally released in 2002, this EP features four Agent Metal classics, that went through deep changes for this 2004 reissue : Erehwon received complex orchestrations to convey its dark but hopeful mood, The Oath Of The Agent became much faster and the two other numbers' structure was altered. Every single note was re-recorded with a sharp and strong sound, better balanced than Sign Of The Gun's heavily-boosted production, and the booklet has been entirely redesigned. Recommended to every Heavy Metal fan ! Encoded at 256 Kpbs for a clearer result.

This new, long-awaited release contains Agent Metal's most mature songwriting so far, as well as a strong production with loud, sharp guitars and clear drums. The lyrics (one of the Agents' distinctive points) are also more focused on secret conspiracies and brainwashing, such as the infamous Monarch program, although Ass-Kicking and Guns weren't forgotten. Stylewise, they have pushed their limits even further, going from raw uncompromising Speed/Thrash metal assaults (Wings Of Fury, Reptilians) to the incredible, majestic epic Gunbearer or the catchy, midtempo rocking title-track.

 

Three Words EP (2002)

01. The Oath Of The Agent (C) - 4:12
02. Freedom, Metal & Might (M) - 4:36
03. Agent Metal (M) - 4:41
04. Erehwon (C) - 5:28
05. Taken By Force (Agent Steel cover) - 2:18

After releasing their first CD, the Agents were about to return to the operation field and to investigate for another couple of years, but the SCEPTRE's Retaliation forced them to change their plans. This 5-song EP was their answer. It contains some of Agent Metal's best material ever, and instantly got sold out. Rumors say a reissue has been planned for next year...

 

SCEPTRE's Retaliation EP (2001)

01. Retaliation - 0:34
02. S.C.E.P.T.R.E. - 1:16
03. True Agent Metal - 2:01
04. BlackOps - 1:58

This extremely short but nasty & efficient release was planted on Agent Metal's website by their sworn enemies, the SCEPTRE, as a protest against the Agency's falsehood. Some have said it was actually written by Agent C himself and released just for fun, but I assume none of you believe this, right ? Anyway it's raw, primitive, evil thrash metal, though it tends to sound very silly in true SCEPTRE tradition. But if it really turned to be Agent Metal outtakes, I guess the Agents would eventually use them one day, which they haven't done so far...

 

Agent Metal (2001)

01. Return Of The Elite (M/C) - 4:52 [here]
02. Agents Of Metal pt.1 (M) - 4:44 [here]
03. Through The White Hell (M) - 5:08 [here]
04. Lamentation Of The Agent (C/M) - 2:21 [here]
05. The One (C) - 3:34 [here]
06. The Chosen Path (C) - 4:23 [here]
07. The Trailing (M) - 4:30 [here]
08. Initiation To Agenthood (C) - 10:23 [here]
09. I'll See You Beyond (C) - 3:12 [here]
10. The Abduction (M) - 7:28 [here]
[Booklet here (.doc)]

Agent Metal's first full-length album, this debut CD contains newer versions of four AM classics : Agent C's I'll See You Beyond from 1996, and Agent M's Through The White Hell, The Trailing (initially called The Escort) and The Abduction from 1998, the six other songs being brand new numbers. The Agency's sound on this record is overall very raw and straightforward, with fast aggressive oldschool speed metal songs such as Elite or The One but also more melodic, catchier stuff, and even a mournful, majestic narrative interlude (Lamentation Of The Agent). Due to a critical mission injury, Agent M couldn't record most of his parts, leaving C alone in the studio - but the songs were already written so the conspiracy could eventually be carried out.

 

Gunhouse Tapes (1996)

01. I'll See You Beyond - 3:19
02. The Lunatic/The Abduction - 13:16

Agent Metal's first recording ever, now completely sold out. Contains the very first rendition of the classic track "I'll See You Beyond" as well as the long, amazing Slayer-meets-Maiden agent epic "The Lunatic/The Abduction". Clocking at over 13 minutes, this legendary song has never been redone. No reissue or redoing planned !
