The Agonist Announces Break Up
Canadian metal band The Agonist has announced that after nineteen years, six albums and three EPs, they have come to the decision to end the band. A statement from the group reads as follows:
"Dear friends, it's time to make a very difficult but necessary announcement.
"We have decided that The Agonist as a band, has come to an end. Much deliberation and care has been put into making this decision, and unfortunately, given the circumstances, this is the conclusion that makes the most sense for the band and us as individuals.
"There are many factors that led to this decision. It is a mix of personal, financial and industry related issues, but in the end the 5 of us are no longer able to agree on a way forward that would benefit The Agonist business as a whole, while respecting each member's personal lives and wishes.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to the fans for coming out to the shows, buying our merch, and supporting us over the years. Nothing is more satisfying than connecting with our fellow human beings via the gift of music. It is the number one factor that has always driven us- to make you, the listener, feel something. In the end, we know that we've accomplished this together.
"Some members of the band will continue to work on music in various ways, others will focus on personal projects and family. We kindly ask you to respect their privacy on this particular matter and encourage you to follow them on their individual social media accounts to support their future endeavors. More...

The Agonist Posts New Music Video Online
Canadian extreme melodic death metal juggernaut The Agonist takes another bold step in their musical and lyrical progression with their blazing new EP, "Days Before The World Wept," out this Friday, October 15, 2021 via Napalm Records! Inspired by real life experiences, "Days Before The World Wept" explores a grim, conceptual tale of greed, gluttony, confusion, pain, redemption and hope enveloped in a new level of aggression and cohesive, technical prowess.
Following up to their dynamic latest single, "Remnants In Time" and its haunting music video, The Agonist is thrilled to reveal the EP's second single, "Feast On The Living" and another killer video! The certified burner stands tall with rollercoaster clean and gritty vocals, rapid fire drums and needle-sharp guitar leads and solos, cementing the track as one of the most technically meticulous of the band’s career and a forewarning of the band’s more extreme leanings.
Frontwoman Vicky Psarakis says about the track and video:
"Everything that could possibly go wrong with this video shoot, well... did, haha. We had a very difficult time finding the right location, so our vision kept changing. Days before the shoot was scheduled to take place we managed to secure the perfect spot and experimenting with all sorts of cool lighting is what took it to the next level!
"Musically, 'Feast On The Living' is a much more straightforward metal track. You're 4 songs into the EP, at this point you know exactly what you're going to be served and you're loving it." More...

The Agonist Posts New Music Video Online
September 2019 saw melodic death metal juggernaut, The Agonist, release their sixth studio album, "Orphans," via Rodeostar Records. With "Orphans" the band delivered their most extreme, melodic, and larger-than-life sounding record to date.
Filmed in haunting black and white, the video dances between striking, dramatic and abstract images of frontwoman Vicky Psarakis as she delivers the eerie message of the track: "The story behind 'Orphans' was inspired by the novel 'We Have Always Lived in the Castle' by Shirley Jackson. It emphasizes the feeling of 'not belonging' and the social and physical isolation that comes as a Even though we've all felt like outcasts at some point in our lives, it's important to remember that we're never truly alone and that there's always someone there for you. We're all 'Orphans,' but we're in this life together." More...
