Audiophobic
Date Released: 1/15/2012
Tracks: 11 After deep discussion about what the album name should be, Fragile Agony triumphantly return with a brand new album that will take your imagination into a really odd, yet wonderful place. Before the writing process of "Audiophobic" began, beloved FA keyboardist Steve "Ying Yang" Bossel decided to quit the band and work on a new solo career. Even though the shock of the news still remained, the band looked for new keyboardists. Their definite choice was former Apocolantis member Ben Smith, who quit Apocolantis during the recording process of their second album "Plague." In honor of Ben's arrival, both the intro and outro of this album is just piano. Songs off of "Audiophobic" include: "When Man Dies," the hit single "Take My Hand," and "V0!c3$." Key notes in the song "V0!c3$": V = The voices in the main character's head that say that he's nothing. 0 = The character in the song feels like he doesn't matter to the world, like he's a zero. ! = Feeling sympathy for the lonely man, people start becoming friends with him, which makes him excited. c = He doesn't see the true value of friendship and betrays everyone. 3 = Now he wants to be better than everyone. $ = Greed. |

The album will be titled 'Audiophobic' and will be released on January 14th. |
