I was struggling at first, but because almost all of these were beatdown/slam type riffs, after a few, it was more or less the same. Bleed From Within was tough, and I always struggle to get through Agony. In my opinion, Agony's breakdown hits even harder than Demolisher's, but the buildup in Demolisher is more satisfying

[@piperfournier5477]

I agree with your point about Agony, I personally like it better than Demolisher. It just hits harder for me
