When asked by another band backstage at Bloodstock UK Festival in 2007.. "What does your name Agankast mean" singer alan replied " i dont know we just made it up".. to which the enquiring aussie guitarist laughed and replied "I thought the name was some special type of pudding". But he was right Agankast was a special type of pudding.. like a good ol haggis maybe? full of lots of ingredients and flavours.. bits of dead animals and dried blood, yeah! that sounds likes Agankast.
