THE AGONIST - Ideomotor (New Song!)

[@insomniaticpanophobia8030]

This is an underrated masterpiece

[@kiraanimations4703]

Insomniatic Panophobia ikr whats wrong with u ppl

[@malevolentdefiance2901]

I agree. This is amazing! I guess we're the only ones with good taste 😎

[@Poroner]

Ya rip agonist. I don't know if we'll ever get another album like this.

[@luisfernandez48]

2022 and I think the same. This an underrated outstanding masterpiece

[@GhostHack21]

I think his point is that metal is a genre that encompasses loads of different styles. So saying "true" metal is the same as calling something a "true" horror film. It's like whatever your opinion of the hostel franchise is it's still as much a horror film as The Exorcist or even things like Bride of Frankenstein. Also I think the BFMV And Trivium before thrash thing was a typo lol.

[@moiss901]

Que buena canción en serio me encanta, una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en mi vida, no se pero the agonist cuando estaba alissa white para mi fue uno de los mejores grupos del metal, yo creo que este grupo tenia mucho potencial lastima que se Allan separado pero bueno las cosas pasan por algo y espero algun dia encontrar algunas canciones que me eleven las emociones como esta.

[@Keltar25]

I wonder why so many people who clearly don't like this genre of music still bother to watch/listen videos from Century Media. You don't see me lurking in the rap section of youtube saying it's crap music.

[@UndergroundVictorian]

thanks - playing on air now on CKCU-FM - in honour of their concert w/ Kittie at Maverick's this evening! busy crazy night - Anvil is also playing!

[@petrschuster1017]

I just wonder, why everyone is hating this amazing voice, the voice is not common, so if you hear The Agonist for the first time, you may find it strange, but listen to few more songs and you will grow to it and love it :)

[@isaacdachenhaus4733]

yes

[@isaacdachenhaus4733]

yes

[@malevolentdefiance2901]

Well, I fell I love at first sound!

[@B36666]

2024 y sigo escuchando esta joya de cancion.... extraño mucho la voz melódica de Alissa

[@ВалерийБольшаков-у5я]

Bravo The Agonist! Vicky and Alissa of Arch Enemy faces of angels voices of demons solo bass gutars and drums - profy!

[@snapolitano13]

i just bought this album. its awesome. everyone should support this band

[@Staticxxftw]

Seeing this in my sub box brought a tiny tear to my eye. So many memories.. Such an amazing band.

[@fragm13]

Cant wait

[@declaration14]

kind of erratic switching between screaming and singing works so well to highlight both, I'm actually looking forward to this album now.

[@ParadiseWasted99]

Impatiently waiting on preorder now.

[@lauraguillen1230]

te amo canción espectacular, hace años que no te escuchaba.

[@LeslieSegura09]

I liked more the vocalist in this musical genre than in Arch enemy :( !! he misses the real band THE AGONIST !!!

[@NishadGeorge]

the solo at the end makes this worth it

[@kidwhocracked]

Sounds great!

[@TheHairo9103]

realy good song!

[@Junesejer]

So true!

[@cjsdashiznit]

Their music is unique and every record that they have put out is more impressive than most american bands. Alyssa is the shiznit and no one (and i mean NO ONE) can do it like her!!!

[@Deamaron7]

can't wait for the new album... already the two songs from the previous EP sounded awesome =)

[@chillernz]

Kind of Heaven shall burn-ish vocals in this track. I love it. Buying album right away

[@hateplow15]

My old band Scars Of Hatred did a show with them they were damn awsome !!!!!

[@Crashdown96]

One word...Awesome!

[@themdamngorgonites5159]

2:46 This sounds awesome!

[@Pitwulf]

nice!

[@wyattxhim]

Nick how can you not like this goddess's singing :(

[@milicaristic8930]

No hate, but I love Alissa more in the Agonist than in Arch Enemy. I like both but there are some differences that make me choose the Agonist over Arch Enemy. Her voice is harsher in the Agonist, she used to wear less flashy clothes ( but she's hot either way), music was more intelligent in my opinion. In both bands songs convey a message but in the Agonist she would spit the whole truth in your face, more complex words and also I can't remember most of the lyrics but I'm not mad about it. I feel like it was true Alissa before going very famous. There is something I can't explain about her from before that makes me really appreciate her old work.

[@jdm188]

Metalcore fits her talent so much more than Arch Enemy

[@Morfeusm]

Oh, they have got level up!

[@brokenf1ower]

guys chill out, they are what they are, just enjoy the music.

[@danojames8329]

frikin awesome hellyeah

[@PmrGuitar]

Metalcore at lest it use to be but from what i heard from fever it sound like there going for a more rock forme now

[@metalhead12352]

You do realize that thrash metal originated during the early 80's and that metalcore didn't really come onto the metal scene until the 90's, right? The type of music that the Agonist are also originated in the 90's as well. We can all thank gothenburg metal (such as Dark Tranquility and At the Gates) and Carcass for melodic death metal.

[@ГелийИзюмов]

Ладно, ребята, большое спасибо. Okay, guys, thank you very much.

[@owen5611]

i don't care what type of band the agonist is. i just enjoy their music.

[@plantemartin3809]

good

[@malevolentdefiance2901]

Damn this is good! I can't get enough! (Edit) and 45 people missed the like button... **sigh**

[@metalslugmasters]

metal will never die, hop and rap are just for fashion and social acceptance.....

[@BravestCoward]

AWWW YEAH!

[@Kalfitegrdan]

They're metal...with breakdowns (which are derived from hardcore) as a focal point of the music with pretty much equates to metalcore. Plus, they use the singing/screming type of song structure which in commonplace in metalcore. Also, thrashy metal riffs are usually pretty common in metalcore as well. I stand by my original claim that this IS metalcore.

[@Goinbefskie]

Haven't listened to these dudes in fucking ages!

[@Zaharad]

The agonist kick ass :D

[@malevolentdefiance2901]

Yes!!

[@ericzaragoza1409]

This song is so good why the heck would they cut it short. Where’s the original 8 minute version ?

[@METALMASTER2094]

Love it d:

[@GODEYE270115]

@Kalfitegrdan and third: i dont want to get into a genre war, this scene already suffers to much of that. If listening to trivium makes your head hurt than dont listen to them, simple as that. But they are anything but generic or basic. Does the song Shogun have a basic metalcore/generic thrash sound? but go and listen to whatever you consider "metal"

[@RenzXVI]

their exact genre would be Melodic Death Metal / Metalcore (with Gothic influences) you definitely can't say they don't have metalcore elements in their songs and why are you ashamed of that anyway? it's a good thing that they sound like this IMO

[@metalvocalistwanted]

as usual we find people arguing in the comments over what kind of metal it is which is weird to me, if i had to categorize this id put it in the BossaNova/Jazz fusion category. i mean you gotta admit its pretty boss :P

[@norxymon]

Combos!! !

[@dianaxd05]

Cuando the agonist todavía era the agonist ... ☹️

[@IITUFIIxNinja]

epic...that is all

[@Donnerwamp]

10 years laternit's still one of the heaviest songs mentioning swans and dolphins.

[@LaMortDeLaMusique]

I understand your point but you're saying BFMV/Trivium were before thrash, yet those two are actually metalcore (albeit more thrash influenced metalcore). If we need a timeline (of mainstream metal, not going into subgenres like black metal) it's: proto-metal (e.g. Black Sabbath) -> NWOBHM (Iron Maiden/Motorhead etc) -> thrash (Big 4) -> glam metal (Aerosmith/GnR/KISS) -> grunge (it counts, stuff like Soundgarden and Alice In Chains -> rap & nu metal (Korn, Limp Bizkit, RATM) -> NWOAHM/metalcore

[@nickszw]

Sort of. The Crusade is kinda generic, though it is some way catchy in some parts. Shogun features complex textures and deep songwriting. It depends from personal tastes, but technically, Shogun is a moder masterpiece of metal music, and i usually refer to it as the new Master of puppets. I love Trivium and The Agonist too; anyway, you can't talk about thrash or melodeath about them, so i agree with you on this

[@f4813]

lawl, they live in Canada and it comes out a day later there than here

[@frashardcore]

temazo!

[@2livecrew88]

her cleans are lacking something other than that its great too see them back

[@vergil385]

touché

[@Shaydaz-UK]

I know what you mean. Once only imagined IMO was so much better than there latest album, it's still good but I don't think i'll listen to this album anywhere near as much as the first two.

[@TheVladmonster]

this ist the law agonist forever

[@f4813]

canada tends to breed musical succses, they have a decent folowing now but i think the new album will make it much larger

[@EndOfDeceive]

A new The Agonist album? HELL YEAH! The song is a lil bit boring, but hey, it's a single, that means the rest of the album will be mindblowing!

[@ahudson099]

If Metalcore isn't a Metal genre, then what do you call bands like As I Lay Dying? You can not tell me with a clear head that they aren't a Metal band. Metalcore is by definition a blend of Extreme Metal and Hardcore Punk. Hardcore Punk was a huge influence on the entire Metal genre. Not all Metalcore is good, but bands like As I Lay Dying, In This Moment, Avenged Sevenfold, Trivium, The Agonist and etc. are good examples of the subgenre.

[@Arcorn9000]

Wow, it's a similar style to Deadlock, and Deadlock is fucking epic. This is an evolution of metal, not just generic shit.

[@DaveEmAII]

FINALY, somebody said it. Dude, you are fucking 666% right. Every kind of Music evolves. We live in Metalcore-times and nothing can cahnge it. You may only like it or not. If it's not your kind of music, then keep listetning to Oldschool stuff :d

[@zakm1234]

I have never heard this band before but it's pretty sick and I kinda like the female vocals even though I'm usually not a fan

[@asura017]

Alissa White Gluz FTw I will continue to support them forever :Bought 1 official Hoodie from them and all their songs every currently created ^^ as well as a few shirts (wished someone from michigan listened to them)Ps: am pretty sure Alissa could give a fuck about her genre and tired of people saying her genre rather than listen then classifying.

[@vergil385]

Nope, Metalcore is awesome bro =P

[@vergil385]

Sounds good, has a solid modern Melodic Death Metal sound mixed with a bit of Gothic/Symphonic Metal and a bit of Metalcore too, which is what The Agonist has always been about. As for all the elitist "metalheads" hating on this, go get a life or go listen to your "tr00" Metal bands

[@Pitwulf]

Most metalcore is pretty shitty stuff, but ABR, AILD and this is fantastic! Epic riffs, up-tempo and variety! Not just breakdown after breakdown after fucking breakdown. Also the agonist does indeed have a bit of a melodic touch to it which shows alot of maturity and is just awesome \m/

[@Short_Bus_Driver]

so fucking awesome!!!

[@gtabro1337]

god I love her as a vocalist, although I hate clean female vocals. but she's a special case, the whole band is

[@Bycops]

This new song from 'The Agonist' does not give me the same 'hell yeah!'-feeling as i had with their previous work.

[@edwardg487]

U sing hardcore the man

[@richeygfd]

i can see where you come from and fair do's i understand that you dont have to like every genre of metal to like metal in general all im saying is people get caught up on whats real metal.it doesnt matter if deathcore/metalcore is not everyones cup of tea however it still came from metal and is just another way of doing things these days. what i disagree on is i dont think there is a "true metal" whats false about newer bands? its not true metal its just an earlier form of the music.

[@JazzDeth]

Sweet new album from the Agonist, nice to hear them finally release this after such a long wait! If you like The Agonist check out Beneath a Crimson Sky, another great female-fronted Metal band from Montreal! /watch?v=OAVbecFcbBo

[@InFlamesJuan]

Not bad

[@metallicbloodful]

Idc I will always adore the agonist xD

[@justinnajar3729]

RIP

[@GODEYE270115]

listen to the Crusade and Shogun my friend. If your head still hurts than something is wrong with you:D

[@TheHairo9103]

love it!

Fuck Yeah!!! I've waited soooo long for a new album.

[@DemonRuby]

sick song!

[@Bonifaciaa]

[@GODEYE270115]

@Kalfitegrdan first off i see you replied to an old comment, got nothing better to do?, second: i wouldnt say songs like Anthem, and sadness will sear, kiristute gomen, igniton, down from the sky, etc. are generic. if they are then megadeths 80's albums are generic as hell(which is BS)

[@DevilOnHog]

metal is evolving,there is no true metal.....metal is all the genres and subgenres that use heavy drumming,singing,powerful melodies and lyrics about society,religion,fantasy etc.

[@DeadStamAlive]

Σπέρνει! [literally: It sows / metaphorically: it kicks ass!!]

[@richeygfd]

why did you mention i resorted to offensive language? does this offend you?idc and why are we still typing about this....when this song was uploaded everyone was saying this is "not real metal".i basically said wtf is this real metal shit. its all metal why does it matter if it isnt and for the record when you say "JUST ABOUT" its not documented and kept on record by a lawyer your point was that most sub genres came from thrash, my point was all subs genres including thrash came from metal >.>

[@AndreaGail1]

damn it,the beat is bad ass . XD!

[@vonDread]

Honestly better than anything I've heard from this band so far. Still too much -core in this.

[@karin14ishida]
