THE AGONIST - Ideomotor. Taken from the album "Prisoners", Century Media Records 2012. Pre-Order now! US/CA - www.cmdistro.co... EUROPE - www.cmdistro.de...
I just wonder, why everyone is hating this amazing voice, the voice is not common, so if you hear The Agonist for the first time, you may find it strange, but listen to few more songs and you will grow to it and love it :)
I think his point is that metal is a genre that encompasses loads of different styles. So saying "true" metal is the same as calling something a "true" horror film. It's like whatever your opinion of the hostel franchise is it's still as much a horror film as The Exorcist or even things like Bride of Frankenstein. Also I think the BFMV And Trivium before thrash thing was a typo lol.
Que buena canción en serio me encanta, una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en mi vida, no se pero the agonist cuando estaba alissa white para mi fue uno de los mejores grupos del metal, yo creo que este grupo tenia mucho potencial lastima que se Allan separado pero bueno las cosas pasan por algo y espero algun dia encontrar algunas canciones que me eleven las emociones como esta.
I wonder why so many people who clearly don't like this genre of music still bother to watch/listen videos from Century Media. You don't see me lurking in the rap section of youtube saying it's crap music.
Their music is unique and every record that they have put out is more impressive than most american bands. Alyssa is the shiznit and no one (and i mean NO ONE) can do it like her!!!
You do realize that thrash metal originated during the early 80's and that metalcore didn't really come onto the metal scene until the 90's, right? The type of music that the Agonist are also originated in the 90's as well. We can all thank gothenburg metal (such as Dark Tranquility and At the Gates) and Carcass for melodic death metal.
as usual we find people arguing in the comments over what kind of metal it is which is weird to me, if i had to categorize this id put it in the BossaNova/Jazz fusion category. i mean you gotta admit its pretty boss :P
FINALY, somebody said it. Dude, you are fucking 666% right. Every kind of Music evolves. We live in Metalcore-times and nothing can cahnge it. You may only like it or not. If it's not your kind of music, then keep listetning to Oldschool stuff :d
No hate, but I love Alissa more in the Agonist than in Arch Enemy. I like both but there are some differences that make me choose the Agonist over Arch Enemy. Her voice is harsher in the Agonist, she used to wear less flashy clothes ( but she's hot either way), music was more intelligent in my opinion. In both bands songs convey a message but in the Agonist she would spit the whole truth in your face, more complex words and also I can't remember most of the lyrics but I'm not mad about it. I feel like it was true Alissa before going very famous. There is something I can't explain about her from before that makes me really appreciate her old work.
their exact genre would be Melodic Death Metal / Metalcore (with Gothic influences) you definitely can't say they don't have metalcore elements in their songs and why are you ashamed of that anyway? it's a good thing that they sound like this IMO
They're metal...with breakdowns (which are derived from hardcore) as a focal point of the music with pretty much equates to metalcore. Plus, they use the singing/screming type of song structure which in commonplace in metalcore. Also, thrashy metal riffs are usually pretty common in metalcore as well. I stand by my original claim that this IS metalcore.
Alissa White Gluz FTw I will continue to support them forever :Bought 1 official Hoodie from them and all their songs every currently created ^^ as well as a few shirts (wished someone from michigan listened to them)Ps: am pretty sure Alissa could give a fuck about her genre and tired of people saying her genre rather than listen then classifying.
Sounds good, has a solid modern Melodic Death Metal sound mixed with a bit of Gothic/Symphonic Metal and a bit of Metalcore too, which is what The Agonist has always been about. As for all the elitist "metalheads" hating on this, go get a life or go listen to your "tr00" Metal bands
metal is evolving,there is no true metal.....metal is all the genres and subgenres that use heavy drumming,singing,powerful melodies and lyrics about society,religion,fantasy etc.
with out the birth of hardcore, we would not have all the metal we have today (and with out early metal we wouldnot have hardcore). So its all hand in hand, X-core and X-metal. Just love or hate the music, not the label some1 can put on it.
People need to understand that this is what metal has evolved into, before the so called "metalcore and deathcore" there was thrash before that there was bands like BMFV, Trivium etc. its just the way music evolves. People who say omg this isnt proper metal need to go back to the 80's and 90's and stay there. You are posers who think there is a real metal.....ITS ALL METAL , get with the times or GTFO! (just my opinion)
Most metalcore is pretty shitty stuff, but ABR, AILD and this is fantastic! Epic riffs, up-tempo and variety! Not just breakdown after breakdown after fucking breakdown. Also the agonist does indeed have a bit of a melodic touch to it which shows alot of maturity and is just awesome \m/
Sort of. The Crusade is kinda generic, though it is some way catchy in some parts. Shogun features complex textures and deep songwriting. It depends from personal tastes, but technically, Shogun is a moder masterpiece of metal music, and i usually refer to it as the new Master of puppets. I love Trivium and The Agonist too; anyway, you can't talk about thrash or melodeath about them, so i agree with you on this
If Metalcore isn't a Metal genre, then what do you call bands like As I Lay Dying? You can not tell me with a clear head that they aren't a Metal band. Metalcore is by definition a blend of Extreme Metal and Hardcore Punk. Hardcore Punk was a huge influence on the entire Metal genre. Not all Metalcore is good, but bands like As I Lay Dying, In This Moment, Avenged Sevenfold, Trivium, The Agonist and etc. are good examples of the subgenre.
I understand your point but you're saying BFMV/Trivium were before thrash, yet those two are actually metalcore (albeit more thrash influenced metalcore). If we need a timeline (of mainstream metal, not going into subgenres like black metal) it's: proto-metal (e.g. Black Sabbath) -> NWOBHM (Iron Maiden/Motorhead etc) -> thrash (Big 4) -> glam metal (Aerosmith/GnR/KISS) -> grunge (it counts, stuff like Soundgarden and Alice In Chains -> rap & nu metal (Korn, Limp Bizkit, RATM) -> NWOAHM/metalcore
I know what you mean. Once only imagined IMO was so much better than there latest album, it's still good but I don't think i'll listen to this album anywhere near as much as the first two.
why did you mention i resorted to offensive language? does this offend you?idc and why are we still typing about this....when this song was uploaded everyone was saying this is "not real metal".i basically said wtf is this real metal shit. its all metal why does it matter if it isnt and for the record when you say "JUST ABOUT" its not documented and kept on record by a lawyer your point was that most sub genres came from thrash, my point was all subs genres including thrash came from metal >.>
Sweet new album from the Agonist, nice to hear them finally release this after such a long wait! If you like The Agonist check out Beneath a Crimson Sky, another great female-fronted Metal band from Montreal! /watch?v=OAVbecFcbBo
This is an underrated masterpiece
Insomniatic Panophobia ikr whats wrong with u ppl
I agree. This is amazing! I guess we're the only ones with good taste 😎
Ya rip agonist. I don't know if we'll ever get another album like this.
2022 and I think the same. This an underrated outstanding masterpiece
I just wonder, why everyone is hating this amazing voice, the voice is not common, so if you hear The Agonist for the first time, you may find it strange, but listen to few more songs and you will grow to it and love it :)
yes

Well, I fell I love at first sound!

i just bought this album. its awesome. everyone should support this band
Cant wait
Seeing this in my sub box brought a tiny tear to my eye. So many memories.. Such an amazing band.
guys chill out, they are what they are, just enjoy the music.
Their music is unique and every record that they have put out is more impressive than most american bands. Alyssa is the shiznit and no one (and i mean NO ONE) can do it like her!!!
So true!
real beauty and the beast!!!!
Bravo The Agonist! Vicky and Alissa of Arch Enemy faces of angels voices of demons solo bass gutars and drums - profy!
kind of erratic switching between screaming and singing works so well to highlight both, I'm actually looking forward to this album now.
Impatiently waiting on preorder now.
Nick how can you not like this goddess's singing :(
metal will never die, hop and rap are just for fashion and social acceptance.....
i don't care what type of band the agonist is. i just enjoy their music.
AWWW YEAH!
the solo at the end makes this worth it
cool to hear they're still around!
Kind of Heaven shall burn-ish vocals in this track.
I love it.
Buying album right away
One word...Awesome!
Oh, they have got level up!
frikin awesome hellyeah

(Edit) and 45 people missed the like button... **sigh**
2:46 This sounds awesome!
My old band Scars Of Hatred did a show with them they were damn awsome !!!!!
The agonist kick ass :D
Yes!!

Wow, it's a similar style to Deadlock, and Deadlock is fucking epic. This is an evolution of metal, not just generic shit.
can't wait for the new album... already the two songs from the previous EP sounded awesome =)
te amo canción espectacular, hace años que no te escuchaba.
realy good song!
Sounds great!
nice!
as usual we find people arguing in the comments over what kind of metal it is which is weird to me, if i had to categorize this id put it in the BossaNova/Jazz fusion category. i mean you gotta admit its pretty boss :P
I liked more the vocalist in this musical genre than in Arch enemy :( !! he misses the real band THE AGONIST !!!
Haven't listened to these dudes in fucking ages!

Love it d:
10 years laternit's still one of the heaviest songs mentioning swans and dolphins.
Fuck Yeah!!! I've waited soooo long for a new album.

Metalcore fits her talent so much more than Arch Enemy
That, what you said my friend, is a true story *holds cup up*
epic...that is all
their exact genre would be Melodic Death Metal / Metalcore (with Gothic influences) you definitely can't say they don't have metalcore elements in their songs and why are you ashamed of that anyway? it's a good thing that they sound like this IMO
A new The Agonist album? HELL YEAH! The song is a lil bit boring, but hey, it's a single, that means the rest of the album will be mindblowing!
Σπέρνει! [literally: It sows / metaphorically: it kicks ass!!]
so fucking awesome!!!
Ладно, ребята, большое спасибо.
Okay, guys, thank you very much.
Idc I will always adore the agonist xD
this ist the law agonist forever

fucking awesome !!
Combos!! !

that's fucking amazing!!!!
Don't fucking care what genre it is. I just put everything under rock on my ipod and call it a fucking day. Damn
damn it,the beat is bad ass . XD!
metal is evolving,there is no true metal.....metal is all the genres and subgenres that use heavy drumming,singing,powerful melodies and lyrics about society,religion,fantasy etc.
Metalcore at lest it use to be but from what i heard from fever it sound like there going for a more rock forme now
This song is so good why the heck would they cut it short. Where’s the original 8 minute version ?
canada tends to breed musical succses, they have a decent folowing now but i think the new album will make it much larger
touché
U sing hardcore the man
temazo!
como los amo x la ctm :'D
with out the birth of hardcore, we would not have all the metal we have today (and with out early metal we wouldnot have hardcore). So its all hand in hand, X-core and X-metal.
Just love or hate the music, not the label some1 can put on it.
listen to the Crusade and Shogun my friend. If your head still hurts than something is wrong with you:D
god I love her as a vocalist, although I hate clean female vocals. but she's a special case, the whole band is
sick song!
People need to understand that this is what metal has evolved into, before the so called "metalcore and deathcore" there was thrash before that there was bands like BMFV, Trivium etc. its just the way music evolves.

(just my opinion)
This new song from 'The Agonist' does not give me the same 'hell yeah!'-feeling as i had with their previous work.
Most metalcore is pretty shitty stuff, but ABR, AILD and this is fantastic! Epic riffs, up-tempo and variety! Not just breakdown after breakdown after fucking breakdown. Also the agonist does indeed have a bit of a melodic touch to it which shows alot of maturity and is just awesome \m/
Fucking sick!
Cuando the agonist todavía era the agonist ... ☹️
Sort of. The Crusade is kinda generic, though it is some way catchy in some parts. Shogun features complex textures and deep songwriting. It depends from personal tastes, but technically, Shogun is a moder masterpiece of metal music, and i usually refer to it as the new Master of puppets.
I love Trivium and The Agonist too; anyway, you can't talk about thrash or melodeath about them, so i agree with you on this
I have never heard this band before but it's pretty sick and I kinda like the female vocals even though I'm usually not a fan
lawl, they live in Canada and it comes out a day later there than here
in a mature manner and non biased what is BFMVs genre?
If Metalcore isn't a Metal genre, then what do you call bands like As I Lay Dying? You can not tell me with a clear head that they aren't a Metal band. Metalcore is by definition a blend of Extreme Metal and Hardcore Punk. Hardcore Punk was a huge influence on the entire Metal genre.

I've Expected More =/
love it!
why did you mention i resorted to offensive language? does this offend you?idc and why are we still typing about this....when this song was uploaded everyone was saying this is "not real metal".i basically said wtf is this real metal shit. its all metal why does it matter if it isnt and for the record when you say "JUST ABOUT" its not documented and kept on record by a lawyer your point was that most sub genres came from thrash, my point was all subs genres including thrash came from metal >.>
fuck yeah
who is BMFV? do you mean BFMV?
Nope, Metalcore is awesome bro =P
Where's the ending part? Damn
Sweet new album from the Agonist, nice to hear them finally release this after such a long wait!
