The come-back of Agatha opens with a song important, not only because of example of the state of health of the duo and what Gravis Atque Gravior contains the musical point of view, but also for the subject matter, that ever as it appears today current. 1981 was the year in Italy were repealed the statutory provisions relating to the so-called "honor killing", a real shame that seems to come directly from a manual of medieval history and that, unfortunately, continues to lurk still in the folds of a society by no means cured of Alzheimer's machismo. The ardor with which the Agatha addressing the topic through heavy notes and chipped, detached from any form of compromise and born to hit in the stomach, the daughters of an unhealthy encounter between metal, noise and hardcore, but outside of any dominant trend or "hipsterismo" more or less glossy, is worth a thousand declarations of intent. The duo's sound is the result of a vital instinct burning, an organized chaos with the fury of those who collect their things before the flames reach the house, a poster of the discomfort that is also proud of his being out of the chorus, as well summarizes, "A Song For The Different." If you already have the previous Goatness had raised the level of confrontation with Gravis Atque Gravior the conflict is war without quarter and shows the danger of a band that has made it even more explosive his formula bass drums, vocals on which surges from unmistakable stamp, trademark of a language that seems to come from amplifiers into the mud of Louisiana. Seven songs for a race that comes to an end all too soon and makes me want to repeat the ride, to shake his head in time and lose interest in what will happen next, because deep down we know the ending already and we can not do much but the way things are and you might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts ... The Agatha came back more aggressive than ever and once again hit the target. The rest, frankly, matters little. (Review by The New Noise)
