Montreal Metal - a seal of approval to be reckoned with: the perfect breeding ground for bands looking for a rather menacing wall of sound! Next to Despised Icon, Beneath The Massacre and Cryptopsy THE AGONIST seem to be designed to make it all the way to the top of the extreme metal scene with their fine-tuned mixture of melodic death metal and metalcore. “Five” makes the exceptional position of the Canadian fivepiece even clearer - as well as its goal to escape all things ordinary. Ever since singer Vicky Psarakis joined the group in 2014, THE AGONIST `s knack for touching melodies became much stronger (just give the lascivious ‘The raven eyes’ a whirl), and flirting with alternative rock turned into a habit. Still, there is enough palpable aggression in the air that discharges in technical death metal solos, beastly growls and massive breakdowns. THE AGONIST keep the throne of all things luscious, catchy yet indefinitely brutal!
Produced and mixed by Mike Plotnikoff @ West Valley Studios

I’ve always felt there was a sort of anger and strong resentment in the lyrics that needed to be expressed with more energy that the usual “vanilla flavor” cover of TMTC. Thank you for this amazing kick-ass rock version!
Lol yeah, when i heard it, my mind immediately told me "I want a rock version with more aggression of this song"
I think you mean sorrow instead of resentment.
This gives me the craziest goosebumps. Vicky sounds so amazing and the rest of the band is on point as well.
that's the purpose of any cover . otherwise it's a replica. btw I like this version more than the original.this heavy style fits with me more
same thing with denzel curry's cover of bulls on parade, people were complaining that he didn't match the beat enough but why should he? a good cover adds something to the orignal.. imagine if johny cash did hurt sounding exactly like trent reznor? wouldn't have been anything exciting if he didn't make it his own too
@@mooseandsquirellfriend I feel like you can't really compare. The reason Cash's version of Hurt is so special is because it completely changes the perspective and meaning of the song just by the fact that it's being sung by a regretful old man close to death. Most covers are just the same song with the same perspective and the same meaning, just a different band's sound. I guess my point is, there are degrees of "making it your own". Playing the same song just in your band's sound is way less powerful than transforming it into something that fits a different time or context.
Also.. I guess there is a time and place for trying to sound exactly like the original. For example, The Pink Floyd Experience tries to give you the experience of being at a Pink Floyd concert, because doing it for real is no longer possible. In that context, even playing replica style becomes worthwhile.
@@Chromodar Like Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence, or Bad Wolves' cover of Zombie
@@corythomas4427 I feel like while Disturbed deliver the message of Sound of Silence more intensely, it's still the same story with the same emotions. Maybe you have a different perspective and that's perfectly fair.
As for Bad Wolves, their version is less so about Ireland and more so about armed conflict in general. And I guess it ended up being just as much a tribute to Dolores as an anti war song. So the context is different for sure, emotions still very similar though.
The best example I can think of besides Hurt is A Perfect Circle's version of Imagine. Lennon's original was hopeful bordering on naive, while APC perform it almost desperately pleading for people to finally listen and act.
Totalmente. Prefiero ésta versión, más pesada. ¡Y la verdad es que la banda logra una EXCELENTE versión! Todos y cada uno.
1:13 "THIS IS ANGRY BIIIIIRDS"
Nope this is BLUE BIRD 🐦
I heard it too lol
i hate you now
hahahahaha!
this is my first listen to the band since Alissa left. you guys will be all right. well played
my personnal favorite is danse macabre
Fuck alissa....
Allissa was fired dumb ass because they are back stabbers.allissa is much better off without this shitty band and the blonde bitch is horrible at singing.
Thisis horrible lol.allissa is better then this blonde bimbo.
I totally agree with you, Vicky is something else. She has improved like anyone expected this year.
I was worried about The Agonist after Alyssa left but I got say, they haven't missed a step. The new vocalist is awesome.
Why i found this now? 2 years without this master piece :((
It's a classic
Right! 🤔
Yeah, I found it ...uh, three years ago??? ... anyway, I like this better than the original. And so far as Vicki goes I think she's really good...I love Alissa's work too, and Vicki is great as well.
This is just soooooo good, a cover that's better than the original.
Amen
Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good time
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine-looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and toil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human, only then I am clean
Amen
Amen
Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
Take me to church
Won't you take me?
Take me to church
vicky! I cant believe in my ears... what a powerful voice performance!
Enes Tekin for sure, I wasn't the only one who has realized how powerful is her voice.
All that remains - not alone * you should listen to...
I can't stand listening that kind of preaching again
Screamo with poppish chorus... this new generation is as lame as the current left wing politicians
Mika Salinto Good to have because you'll never know
how to carve a piece of shit into a jewel
Ever watch that Myth Busters episode where the polished a turd until it was shiny?
Yea, it's like that.
they did that? XD definitely missed that episode
Yeeep. Literally just type "Polishing a turd" into youtube and it should be the first result. Pretty interesting to watch actually.
oh wow, I thought you were kidding, holy shit that is amazing XD
pun definitely intended
What did you find so shitty in the original?
I've listened to many covers of this song, but honestly - this is it. This is the best one. I don't think anyone would come up with better. Thank you!
Shame there isn't a 'love' button for this one. My feelings for this version of the song go so much further than like. This is brilliant.
Back in the elden days of CZcams, there used to be a rating system
Gladly would go by myself to the church where the AGONIST are playing!! ^_^
wolverine3566 Well there is a church in Finland... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Mass
Wow thats amazing ! Congrats for this awesome version. I always waited for a good metal version of this song ;-)
Check out Leo Moracchcioli. He has great metal covers of almost every genre on his channel ;-)
Yeah, Leo is the god of covers x)
Yes I know him already! He is really talented and rocks the hell out of every song XD
alina i love you :o
Hi there :V! Nice to see you here ahah!
Heavy Metal makes everything sounds so much better, and your voice is killer!
That was amazing, Congrats. You "The Agonist" have grown up so much, and the Vicky's voice is so powerful!!!
I'll buy this song... simply, I love it.
Metal bands do covers better than any other genre........this version even kills the original!!!!
i agree, i never liked this song until ive heard this version. she sings it so much better too!
This isn't really a cover though....
We can call it a reinterpretation if that makes you happier.
This song sucks.
well...watch the original with the original video and understand what this song is about...the original is actually much better, deeper, sober. this one is good, much happier and easier to listen to.
God, if I could 'like' this every time I watch it, it would be the #1 video on CZcams
when she says"this hungry work" just amazing❤️
Ohhhh wonderfull, is beautifull, amazing, This woman truly if she has a beautiful voice, I love it, and the agonist, not even talk, her covers are very well made.
Best version I've ever heard and I'm a big fan of Violet Orlandi's version. But this overpowers everything else
This is one of my favorite songs and videos. I listen to this cover all the time going for years now.
Its just divine. They all did something special that day.
Truly awesome and amazing cover, the band and Viki truly make it their own which totally makes it their own! Bravo!!
one of that covers that are better than the originals. Awesome work!
Congrats! To judge from this one, Vicky has found a vocal style that suits her. I like it!
Great song I love it. I can listen to it over and over and over again! She has a beautiful voice there
I love it! It’s an amazing song to begin with and the scope to play with it is insane. Her voice???? Incredible! Tons of power tons of control. Love it
Esta canción es realmente adictiva, llevo 5 años escuchándola y no me cansa, Vicky transmite algo que la hace una gran artista
Great stuff. Her vocals really pair well with the Ballad style heavy rock. You guys could fill stadiums with this stuff.
Would be great with Halestorm
I love the Agonist's version and I'm so happy I can eventually watch it on youtube and share it! Amen!
Probably the best cover I've heard in my life, and I do not say that lightly
OMG!! I start to love this song,, go Vickyyyy!!!!!!!
You guys jam. I saw you in Chicago recently. One of my top 10 favorite bands because of the awesome vocals and guitar work.
"revolution, revolution!!
stumbled on to this song a few days ago and have been listening to tons of covers. this one is my favorite by far, and this is including the original song, plus his many different performances
What amazing song... What a powerful voice...
OMG! Her voice is so perfect! Really beautiful
I love this girl and your voice...
huge props seeing that the rhythm guitarist is wearing a Devin Townsend Project shirt.
Marino & Jobin have been 2 of my favorite shredders since arriving to the scene & my opinion Vicky has been a upgrade
One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard :)
Amazing voice
"Good God, let me give you my life." Yes, please and thank you. Great cover
Holy smokes great cover of this song. I've never heard of this band, I think I just found another new music obsession. Keep on rocking.
Me encanta esta tía
whaaaaat the... this is perfect!
brilliant song from great band.awesome vocals...impressive..
Love it. Waaaaay better than the original. Btw its a nice breath of fresh air to see a female lead singer of a metal band actually dressed normally. Good on you guys ^-^
Vicky has an awesome voice
Ok, so I have waited for an amazing cover of this song for soooooooooo long! The Agonist, you have completed my life throughout the years with your albums PLEASE KEEP UP YOUR AMAZING TALENT!!!!!!!!
Love this song...like her raspy voice in it and the scream at the end.
I love Vicky!! Her voice is just great!
1:12 instant eargasm
Gods is she beautiful! Beautiful voice, beautiful technique. Awesome cover indeed!
Einfach genial und eine top Stimme. Von fast zierlich hohen Tönen bis zum Reissnagel Röhren....beste Version !
Killer guys! Thanks for this. The video was very well done great shots of the guitars and of course Vicky!
Vicky's perfect version👌🏿🤘❤👀
Another awesome fantastic band is the agonist awesome band 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's a bomb!Such a beautiful music & lyrics!!! Thank you very much!!! It's one of my favorite songs!!!
Don't care for the original at all, but I just cannot stop listening to this cover. @The Agonist You are awesome!!!
Been listening to this ever since you put it out, and it's only now that I read the comments that I realise it's a cover oO
It's sooooooo much better than the original! Really like the flow, and that grit in the voice fits so perfectly
Love this cover ❤️
It's different, and her style
It's amazing!
Congrats 😁
Love this cover. So good! FIVE is an awesome album.
That voice!
Voz maravilhosa❤
Тот случай когда кавер лучше оригинала, браво так держать)
The case where the cover is better than the original, bravo keep it up)
Vicky the great!!! The best Greek female singer!!!!
her voice always gives me goosebumps , I always loved her covers before she joined the agonist and she is so fitting with them
01:13 free replay button for instant shivers
scream is not that good tbh
This is the first time I've cried while listening a music
I love this iteration so much 😀
I love this song after 10 sec :D Congratz, it's amazing.
Esta canción es buenísima en cualquier género!
Funny, I saw this life in Boston 2016-2017 (not sure when exactly), and never payed attention until many years later ^_^
Nice version...
15 seconds in and it's already better than the original!
One of the best things I ever heard.
Amazing, I loved it!
Any time this comes on a mix and I have it in another tab, I have to click over to make sure it isn't Lzzy Hale singing, and I mean that in the best possible way. I'm a sucker for that high distorted mix. Marko Heitala, Lzzy, Noora Louhimo, Vicky... Gets me every time.
So much more energy then the acoustic versions I've heard currently in 2023 it's either a capo acousic or low tuned version .
"This is hungry work !!!!" .... Great vocal explosion!
I love that part...🤘
love her, amazing, just miss the agonist.
I need to stop watching this. it's been weeks and I keep watching over and over.
Elle me donne des frissons, c'est tellement puissant.
Wow this is amazing!
I'm impressed, this is great!
btw Vicky looks like Sasha Pieterse
I always thought she looked like Sasha Pieterse too!
I never heard this before but I like it a lot :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
Excelente versión, me encanta esta banda... A pesar del cambio de estilo que ha tenido en este último álbum, no dejan de ser geniales y una de mis bandas favoritas. (Vicky es muy linda
she is incredibly talented .. Her voice is beyond mainstream 🤔
Wow. I hate the original song but this one, WOW! Your voice is purely amazing!!!!
Powerful! Standing applause, Mrs Psarskis 💚
Best cover on youtube. Amazing work and voice
Круче светят только звезды. THE BESt
wooooow. Very big RESPECT! ❤👊
I really love this cover... She's powerfully talented.
Les quedó magistral. Me llegó al alma.
Manooooo ficou top na voz dessa monstra😎😎😲😱😱😰😨😍😍♥️
