THE AGONIST - Ideomotor. Taken from the album "Prisoners", Century Media Records 2012. Pre-Order now! US/CA - www.cmdistro.co... EUROPE - www.cmdistro.de...
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 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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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)
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

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!!!
i just bought this album. its awesome. everyone should support this band
Seeing this in my sub box brought a tiny tear to my eye. So many memories.. Such an amazing band.
i don't care what type of band the agonist is. i just enjoy their music.
metal will never die, hop and rap are just for fashion and social acceptance.....
Cant wait
real beauty and the beast!!!!
So true!
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.
the solo at the end makes this worth it
cool to hear they're still around!
Nick how can you not like this goddess's singing :(
Impatiently waiting on preorder now.
Kind of Heaven shall burn-ish vocals in this track.
I love it.
Buying album right away

Damn this is good! I can't get enough!
(Edit) and 45 people missed the like button... **sigh**
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.
nice!
Sounds great!
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
10 years laternit's still one of the heaviest songs mentioning swans and dolphins.
this ist the law agonist forever
Ладно, ребята, большое спасибо.
Okay, guys, thank you very much.
good
Love it d:
her cleans are lacking something other than that its great too see them back
RIP
Haven't listened to these dudes in fucking ages!
Don't fucking care what genre it is. I just put everything under rock on my ipod and call it a fucking day. Damn

Metalcore fits her talent so much more than Arch Enemy
epic...that is all

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
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

Idc I will always adore the agonist xD
That, what you said my friend, is a true story *holds cup up*
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.

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!
canada tends to breed musical succses, they have a decent folowing now but i think the new album will make it much larger
Σπέρνει! [literally: It sows / metaphorically: it kicks ass!!]
Combos!! !
Un orgasmo en mis oidos

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.
so fucking awesome!!!
god I love her as a vocalist, although I hate clean female vocals. but she's a special case, the whole band is
Cuando the agonist todavía era the agonist ... ☹️
metalcore = metal
This song is so good why the heck would they cut it short. Where’s the original 8 minute version ?
temazo!
damn it,the beat is bad ass . XD!
Fuck Yeah!!! I've waited soooo long for a new album.
U sing hardcore the man

lawl, they live in Canada and it comes out a day later there than here
Yeah You're Probably Right.
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
Nope, Metalcore is awesome bro =P
SHEEET
fuck yeah
COME PLAY EDMONTON AND BRING DEFINED WITH YA!!!!!!!
Calling Trivium and BFMV thrash just makes my head hurt.
como los amo x la ctm :'D
Not bad
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
metalcore i'd say.
They definitely were metalcore. This song kinda dropped a lot of the metalcore influences though.
This new song from 'The Agonist' does not give me the same 'hell yeah!'-feeling as i had with their previous work.
I've Expected More =/
listen to the Crusade and Shogun my friend. If your head still hurts than something is wrong with you:D
Fucking sick!
anyone else having trouble pre-ordering?
It was an 'I dont want to live on this planet anymore' moment alright...
