The Agony Scene is a metalcore band from Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA. They fuse Black Metal fused with Hardcore Punk. The band has released two albums, one on Solid State Records and the other on Roadrunner Records. The Agony Scene is currently signed to Roadrunner Records.

Its members include:

  • Mike Williams – Vocals
  • Brent Masters - Drums
  • Chris Emmons – Guitar

  • Brian Hodges - Bass

Former members:

  • Warren Darr- Roadie (2002-2004)
  • Jacob Hacker, aka the NORD- Assistant/Roadie (see below) (2002-2004)

During the band's formation, Jacob Hacker tried out as their bassist using a noise music routine he had created under the pseudonym "the NORD." Though Hacker was not accepted into the band, The Agony Scene made him their opening act and took him on as a roadie. Between 2003-2004, The Agony Scene was living with Hacker prior to their being signed to Roadrunner, until Hacker was evicted due to non-payment of rent and over $1000 worth of damages damages incurred to his apartment from he and Agony Scene's parties (it is alledged that these parties involved narcotics, binge drinking, and homosexual group sex).

In 2004, Brian Hodges, Jacob Hacker, and Warren Darr were arrested in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma for breaking into cars in downtown Tulsa, in order to steal stereos, and then selling the stereos to pawn shops in Broken Arrow using false identification.

Hodges plead guilty to two counts of burglary and five counts of concealing stolen property. He was sentenced to three years in prison, but given a suspended sentence on the condition that he pay $750, plus damages, and complete 80 hours of community service. Hacker plead guilty to two counts of burglary and five counts of possessing stolen property, and was sentenced to five years probation.
