Much has happened since then, a period in which was used intensely by the band to change some internal structures, work on their style and polish it up.
Lifted up from the cradle in 1995, the band since then always strived for progression and evolution, beginning with their early demos, their milestone-debut "Blacken The Angel", and continued with the progressive "Higher Art Of Rebellion"-album, which widely crossed the borders of fl metal.

In my opinion all in all the band has played well, concentrated, i think only one time there was a mistake in tempo between drummer (who has done a very positive concert) and bassist, or at least, i had this sensation.
Sathonys, leader of the band, plays indeed fantastic, most of all the melodic lead guitars, although he has a lot of sound problems (he told me that after the gig) and almost can’t hear himself.
The new man on the bass is the most motivated guy from Agathodaimon, he’s always banging, has always a content smile on his face and pushes the fans to celebrate with the band.

Therefore the whole band hadto pay travel costs, hotel etc, and this time we recorded again in Germany, in a studio that is only 30 km away from our rehearsal room.

 Agathodaimon interview @ Tartareandesire.com
We're not the band that would kick someone out just cos they are not able to participate at a certain period of time and, concerning Vlad, I consider him one of my best friends, and so I really wanted to have him back in our line-up.
We are not a perfect band, there's lots of things we can improve and will always try to get better with every release, of course, but you could say the sound wasn't very good and the songs were too progressive or whatever, but the press usually likes it and the fans give us good reviews.
One of my favorite bands, and it would be really cool to play together with Dimmu Borgir for example or In Flames, but other musicians I really enjoy are King Diamond and all the fl metal stuff generally...

 Get Ready to ROCK! Interview with Sathonys of metal rock band Agathodaimon
Sathonys: The band was founded in September 1995, and we did record two demos - one in 1996 and the second one in 1997.
He was more or less trying to get the band into a more commercial direction, and at that time, we didn’t think that this was a cool thing to do.

 Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by death metal rock band Agathodaimon called Serpent's Embrace on Nuclear Blast
The band was originally formed in 1995 by Matthias Rodig (drums) and Sathonys (guitars, clear vocals).
Even though the foundations of Agathodaimon’s music are based on Black Metal, you could also detect many gothic and symphonic elements in the music which would evolve and become more visible in the next two releases "Higher Art of Rebellion" (1999) and "Chapter III"(2001).
That means that Agathodaimon managed to achieve an equally strong and clear production, the combination of which with the quite heavy and rhythmical riffs that both Sathonys and Akaias provided, gave all the character that this album needed in order to stand out from every other similar release this year.

Agathodaimon's unique sound is a cohesive fusion of modern metal, doom and goth, with their emphasis firmly enrooted in fl metal.

When the band wavers from the formula, the results are more middling, but a song like "Cellos For the Insatiable" possesses a memorable enough chorus to make up for the lack of musical flash.
Still, brutality is the band's forte, something driven home on the superb "Limbs of a Stare", an expertly executed exercise in prototypal fl metal.
Yowie is an experimental band from St. Louis whose experiment is a rather basic one: mix Captain Beefheart with a little no wave, throw in some math rock and grindcore as a catalyst, and wait for the concoction to bubble over.

This isn't your typical death metal band, whose aim is to play ten million notes in one minute and grunt unintelligible evilness into the microphone while the guitars blare in a consistent drone.
The thing that bothers me is this: Agathodaimon didn't have to follow this route.
Maybe it's that Agathodaimon isn't so much of a death metal band as they are a goth band with metal leanings - something which the diehard followers of either genre will probably need some time to get accustomed to.
