Shameless request to react to the band that led me to JINJER (who they toured with last year) after I saw them live opening for EPICA in 2016. I'm talking about The Agonist. Formerly fronted by Alyssa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), currently led by Vicky Psarakis and described variously as exteme metal, melodic death metal, deathcore, etc. A lot of folks would probably direct you to the opening track from their recent Orphans album, "In Vertigo", but I'd argue that "The Gift of Silence", while less intense, is a better showcase of their artistic diversity and technical talent.

Parts of the guitar was stolen from Plini’s song “Handmade Cities” and they didn’t even credit him. There’s tons of articles about this and you can check Plini’s Instagram account (@plini).

[@kaivonnix1100]

yea it was doja’s team’s fault.

[@Georgithedog]

I was wondering about that!

[@psjonesi55]

I finally went and listened to Plini's chart. He should sue or be quiet. But he would lose. There is nothing about his song that can be considered stolen by this arrnangement. Simple chord changes won't do it. The changes to Doja's chart were made a little darker for this arrangment; but her pop changes are what they are for her song. If anything it sounds like "Taste of Honey's Good Times"(that's the origninal Disco/Funk chart. That guy Plini's is a pretty good guitarist; his ideas for that particular song have nothing to do with this and his playing is far more outside(cool) than this. Go ahead; sue or shut up.

[@praks07]

Guitar solos alone do not make a song “Metal”. All this proves is that pop fans don’t know music beyond their genre. Doja is a good artist and is very creative. This is also a very creative marketing strategy following in the footsteps of Lil Nas X and his endless remixes, Doja’s twist being that every live performance is a different version. Still hats off to her to have the talent and team to pull this off. I personally don’t like this one but it’s well crafted and a valiant effort . Credit where credits due.

@@AGDinCA she’s not really a pop artist, rather a rap artist. And she’s not trying to go rock or anything, but this is her most popular song and I’m sure you can guess that she gets asked to do it for almost every live performance she does, so this is just her way of switching it up a bit since she said herself that she’s kind of sick of this song lol

This is not metal. This has nothing to do with metal. Not saying I either like or dislike. Just saying it's not metal. Calling this metal is like calling MJ metal because EVH and Slash each played a solo in one of his songs.

[@richardjones38]

I disagree. Slash and EVH played solo's in what were otherwise MJ pop songs in terms of pretty much all the rest of the music. I'd never heard this song before, but to me the vocals are pop, but if you removed them, and only listened to everything else, musically this is all metal. To me, a song which, apart from the vocals, all metal, has more to do with metal then pop, regardless of whether that is the vocalist / band's usual music style. Rather like Blur's Song 2. Nothing else I have heard by Blur has ever made me think of metal, but I definitely think song 2 is metal.

[@GrellxSebby1012]

How is that comparable? Doja didn't have someone feature in this song, nor is the rest of it pop like the MJ songs u are referring too.
