Agonist Sounds is a side-magazine to, and division of Noise Receptor Journal.
To provide context, Noise Receptor Journal: sound with impact -- analysing the abstract, is one of the most well-respected underground zines dealing with post-industrial music, with a particular focus on dark ambient, death industrial, heavy electronics, and power electronics. 14 print issues have been released to date between 2013-2026.
Notably, Agonist Sounds covers the same post-industrial territory as Noise Receptor Journal. Yet the content of Agonists Sounds exclusively focuses on interviews with current underground artists and labels, while excluding any articles, reviews, or advertisements.

Noise Receptor Journal review quotes:
"A wonderful journal documenting a niche of underground culture while being a cultural document itself." -Karin / Galakthorrö
"Noise Receptor zines... epic stuff in handy format. I enjoy the author's style; he artfully penetrates deep into the music and knows the history... It feels good to get a nice zine in your hands. Check it out." -Infinite Fog Productions
"Outstanding coverage of the true underground dark ambient/death industrial/industrial scene." -Jason Mantis / Malignant Records
"What I enjoy about Noise Receptor is the timeless nature of it. Very good complement to blogs, but which I feel don't really give the written content justice." -Kristian Olsson / Alfarmania / Styggelse
"While xerox will always be the most sacred of all zines formats, all print is welcome in the era of online corruption that has eroded every facet of society. Keep up the important work." --Dominick Fernow / Prurient / Hospital Productions
