Agony is a Colombian metal band formed in Bogotá in 1993 by guitarists Ernesto Robayo and Andrés Jaramillo. To date, they have released one demo tape, three studio albums, and one live album.
History
The band was founded in 1993[1] by guitarists Ernesto Robayo and Andrés Jaramillo, two high school friends that shared a common interest in heavy metal. Once in college, Robayo met Alfonso Pinzón, who became the group's drummer and in turn invited classmate Héctor Lozano, who joined on bass. Ernesto Velasco was added last, after auditioning as lead singer. This configuration of the band recorded a self-titled demo tape in 1994, with seven songs.[1]
Robayo and Velasco both left by the end of 1994 and were replaced by Carlos Marín (guitar) and César Botero (vocals). This incarnation of the band recorded the concert album Live All the Time in 1995,[1] which featured covers of Pantera's "Strength Beyond Strength" and Sepultura's "Propaganda". That year, Agony participated in the first edition of the Bogotá rock festival Rock al Parque.[1]
Agony's first studio album, titled Millennium,[1] was released in 1996 and included new bassist Carlos Reyes. In 1999, the band relocated to Los Angeles, California.Шаблон:Citation needed Shortly after, Reyes left and was briefly replaced by Juanes.Шаблон:Citation needed Marín also exited the group around this time.

The band's third album, The Devil's Breath, with Cello Dias on bass, was released in 2009.[3]
