Agathocles is a Belgian political grindcore band.[1] Founded in 1985, it is mainly known for producing a large quantity of split seven-inch EPs.[2] They play a style of grindcore they have dubbed "mincecore". Their lyrical themes have focused on anti-fascism, animal liberation and anarchism. All of its members are vegetarians.[3]
Their lineup has changed numerous times since they first started, the only consistent member being Jan Frederickx (also known as Jan AG).
