The Agonist - Five

Next to Despised Icon, Beneath The Massacre, and Cryptopsy, the Agonist seem to be designed to make it all the way to the top of the extreme metal scene with their fine-tuned mixture of melodic death metal and metalcore. Five makes the elite status of the Canadian five piece even clearer, enforcing their goal to escape the mundane. Singer Vicky Psarakis’s joining of the group in 2014 only enhanced the Agonist`s knack for touching melodies, and flirting with alternative rock became a habit. However, there is still palpable aggression in the air, discharging in technical death metal solos, beastly growls and massive breakdowns.
