The Agonist
Formed in Montreal, Quebec, in 2004 under the name The Tempest, The Agonist built their reputation on a volatile blend of melodic death metal and metalcore distinguished by the contrast between screamed aggression and soaring clean vocals. The band rose to prominence with founding vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, releasing standout albums including Lullabies for the Dormant Mind (2009) and Prisoners (2012) before White-Gluz departed in 2014 to join Arch Enemy. Vocalist Vicky Psarakis fronted the band through three further records, culminating in Orphans (2019), before the group disbanded in May 2023.
