Something visceral runs through « Losin It », the new track from Agony. Not a pose, not a construction, a raw truth, that of a man wrestling with his own walls. The track settles into dark territory where mental health, isolation, and social frustration merge into a single breath. Agony maps the vertigo of a mind coming apart, trapped inside a society running on autopilot, where people recite a script without ever looking up. Over a hardcore-leaning instrumental, his voice carries the weight of what we rarely dare to say: « Everyone left me cuz nobody cares about me ». A line that hurts because it rings true. The music video, entirely conceived and directed by A. Manzanilla himself, rises to that ambition: cinematic, meticulously crafted, deeply inhabited. One image in particular says it all, the artist in a straitjacket, gaze fixed forward, delivering a performance that lingers long after the final frame. Slash Music recommends it without reservation.

Agony: a world of his own
Behind the name Agony stands A. Manzanilla, and behind A. Manzanilla stands a radically autonomous vision of what independent music can be. Songwriter, composer, producer, director, editor: every link in the creative chain runs through his hands. This isn’t versatility by default, it’s a conviction. The integrity of a work, he believes, is lost the moment it gets split between too many intermediaries. « Losin It » is his clearest proof of that, written, produced, mixed, mastered, and directed entirely by himself.
Beyond the studio, Agony leads Perseverance Fam, a collective he founded that mirrors his philosophy: create without waiting for the industry’s permission, document the process as much as the result, and share every stage of that creation on social media, from raw demos to finished projects. That transparency isn’t PR. It’s honesty.
What’s coming next remains officially unconfirmed, but the pace at which he works leaves little doubt: something bigger is being built. Every release he puts out feels like a statement, not content. Missing the next one would be a mistake.
