The Agonist has been touring since their latest album Five, which was released last September via Napalm Records. These Canadian melodic death metallers are now just a few weeks away from their Canadian run that kicks off on August 4th. To celebrate their upcoming journey, they unleashed a new video for the track “The Raven Eyes.”
Guitarist Danny Marino commented:
“Writing this was a departure for Vicky [Psarkis, vocals] and I but it may have been one of the most rewarding as songwriters. It allowed us to explore sounds and emotions we’ve always wanted to but could never quite get to in a metal setting. Also, working with Igor Khoroshev (YES) really helped bring out the full depth of Vicky’s piano and string arrangements. The lyrics were originally inspired by stories of the renaissance plague doctors. FTB Visuals was able to take these themes and create a modern world storyline with an equally dark overtone that captured the painful emotions in the song.”
