The Agony Scene is a metalcore band from Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, whose musical style is a combination of metal and hardcore. The band has released two albums, one on Solid State Records and the other on Roadrunner Records, their current label.

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 incurred to his apartment from he and Agony Scene's parties (it is alleged that these parties involved narcotics, binge drinking, and homosexual group sex).
