Editor's note

The Agonist's Montreal metal with melodic bite

A Montreal metal band that's kept its sound sharp through lineup changes and six albums.

For their early sound, 'Panophobia' still holds up. 'My Witness, Your Victim' from their top songs gives a good sense of their later work.

They've carved out a space in metal that doesn't need to shout about it. Songs like 'Panophobia' from their early days show how they mixed melodic death metal with symphonic touches. Later tracks like 'Take Me To Church' and 'Revenge Of The Dadaists' kept that blend of aggression and melody going, even after Alissa White-Gluz left for Arch Enemy in 2014.

They formed in Montreal in 2004 with Alissa White-Gluz on vocals. After she left, Vicky Psarakis took over, and they've put out six studio albums from 'Once Only Imagined' in 2007 to 'Orphans' in 2019. Their history is mostly about staying active in the scene without much fuss.
