10 Years in the making, The Bitter End, is finally set for a release date of 15 May 2020. Agro went through a multitude of disasters including member lineup changes, flooding in the studio, personal battles and rushed production and recording.
“… with fate and a bit of luck, what was once thought to be lost the original master tracks were found and recovered. All the vocal, bass and drum tracks were good, however all the guitars and strings were lost or unsalvageable. Nick Vasilev (keys) began the arduous task of re-writing and re-recording all the guitars and strings and thus creating a whole new monster, fresh and full of emotion. After many months (and in some instances years) the final mixing could begin….or so we thought. On a hot summers night in 2019, bad weather struck and Nick’s studio was flooded. We feared that all the tracks had been destroyed and lost once again. Miraculously, after weeks of devastation, Nick was somehow able to retrieve the totally submerged hard drive and the album was once again saved.”
