I know you guys are focusing on how much Vicky's vocals improved and her growls are like solid rock now, but can we stop for a moment to appreciate this drum beast called Simon? Holy shit bro, Simon is killing it.
He's an absolute beast
Yes credit to the drummer he is pure belta
Appreciate them all.
Love them all.
The band is amazing!
Vicky is awsome no doubt but those drum fills and blast beats are on fuckiing point.
Lorena Sanches no kidding that guys a savage
This is the rebirth of The Agonist.
Not gonna lie, this is the first time I've listened to the Agonist since Alyssa left... this song kills it! I love the contrast of angelic vocals, blast beats, and the shredding lick. The screams vs. clean interludes, and the gutturals at the end. There's a lot going on here and I'm soaking it all up. Great job everyone!
(reposting this under my most favourite songs of the band.)
RIP The Agonist 2004-2023.
I don't know if you guys will ever read this, but that's a love letter to The Agonist:
Thank You for everything, for the lyricism, the melodies, the heavy parts, the lighter parts, the parts in-between, just thanks for everything, my favourite band even after it's gone. You guys weren't afraid to experiment, this song and overall album is proof, (unlike a certain, now-mainstream band that I won't name, which was the source of TA's reputation to be hurt, even though you guys (and you Vicky) are nothing but incredibly sweet human beings) I've been listening to you all since I discovered you guys back in '12, I won't stop supporting you all even though the band is over, whereas it's by keeping on listening to your material, or by supporting and sharing your other endeavors.
Merci pour les headbangs les gars !!
Thank you for the kind words.
@@simonmckay6607 Oh!!! Idk you had a channel, Simon! Well, you just got a new subscriber hehe 😄
This is the type of Agonist I remember. Keep it up guys.
IKR!
Be warned: The Agonist has returned to Super saiyan form. Vicky has reached her full transformation and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
Nah, its more
Vigita(i know its spelt wrong) here is my super sayan form
Vikki Yeah right here's me just singing
Vigita: (in a hole in about 90 buluding) Was not expecting that
@@harlequinfoxgothmaidboybellatr all we need is a good villian and we can pitch this to Toei :D
Best comment. 😂
Well according to the evolution of the last albums, I'm bold to proclaim:
THAT'S NOT EVEN HER FINAL FORM!
Her voice evolved for sure....but I think she can impove it even more, starting to like her more than Alissa TBH.
Vicky Is the Best replacement in history
She made the band go SUPER SAIYAN
I dare to say she's even better than Alissa
lol not even close. You should stop smoking crack
Well... Since Alissa left, view numbers plummeted. Just compare Arch Enemy video views with Agonist.
And I hate how Alissa doesn't sing anymore, she totally wasted her talent in Arch Enemy. She had a beautiful voice
@@bajszosjozsef4850 that's true but she sang clean vocals in a song called reason to believe very much but i think she should sing more clean vocals.
Even after hearing it a thousand times I still get goosebumps every time Vicky switches her singing style in combination with the melody, guitar and drums (especially the ending), its just epic and Im so looking forward to the new album! Keep it up guys!
Oh my goodness. Those backing clean vocals are heavenly and then my jaw just dropped at those low growls. Well done, The Agonist!
Her screaming (well and growing) really improved. I also really like this song.
I honestly thought The Agonist slowly died after Alissa left for Arch Enemy... guess I'm eating my words. Truly enjoyed the song
Well but Alsissa would still fit much better in the band as Vicki...
alyssa never left the agonist kick her out
@@deadmanwalking4372
Well that's what she says the agonist claims that she left. No one knows what's true except for them
All of us get served surprises sometimes...
Well i always thought that's the end of AE once angela was out and alissa in. As i never like agonist back then. And i like agonist now because of vicky
"We go down, down, down!"
I love the throwback to "As Above, So Below".
THAT'S AN ACE!!!! THAT'S PURE FIRE!!! JAW DROPPING AT 4:15 !
Vicky's voice has improved a lot. She's really finding her own style without trying too hard to sound like Alissa. Those growls at the end were insane! And musically, this sounds more like old Agonist, which is definitely a plus.
Alissa is shit compared to Angela and this singer. Alissa cannot deep growl like this at all or scream as loud as Angela.
@@stonecold5373 You just posted a comment saying you've never listened to this band before this song, you don't know shit about Alissa's vocal range.
@@BirdsElopeWithTheSun09 um, you must not have heard of arch enemy? because she doesn't have shit on Angela or this chick.
@@stonecold5373 I'd recommend you go listen to "Eulogies sang me to sleep" and you can hear how deep she can go. Arch Enemy has a certain style and the means her vocals must also be in that same style, rather than the varied high and lows she did in The Agonist.
Thwompthing
Have you listened to '...and Their Eulogies Sang Me To Sleep'? Because at the end of that, similarly to Vicky in this song, Alissa uses very low vocals.
And just watch Arch Enemy performing, specifically songs like 'We Will Rise' and 'Dead Eyes See No Future', because Alissa is very loud there - just like Angela. Don’t call a queen 'shit', and if you’re going to try to justify that bullshit, at least get your facts straight.
Holy Shit!!! That's so Epic!!!!
I could never listen to The Agonist song without stopping but this song is on repeat, Vicky has improved so much and I cant wait to hear the rest of the album.
The Agonist back to its roots. Wonderful.
Holy mother.... this is how Agonist should look like, Vicky getting better and better...
Yes!
whomever starts an indefinite statement with ”mother" gets a ++
Fuck a look, I am here for the feels.
No she's not Vicky fucking sucks and the music they keep.making gets less and less attention they shouldn't have essentially kicked out the most talented person in the band
@@raynebenson9040 "fuckin blow those words out the back of your head - i've heard it all and im done with that shieeet". Atreyu said it best.
4:16 shit, she's become a beast now
This is purely comeback for the agonist
Holy mother this is SICK
So good! love vicky vocals looking forward to the 6th album
Wow, they really delivered a song that slaps you in the face. Those deep growls at the end nailed it to perfection! Well done!! What a comeback song!!
Ahhhh I can't wait for Orphans!!
This is what we were waiting for. She found her style. Awesome!
Yes Totally! But I think Jinjer have broken some walls... Now The Agonist have found a clear direction... as they were before!
From now, I have to say I *used to* be skeptical about Vicky and sure that The Agonist ended with Alissa's departure. This is a GLORIOUS track! One of their best ever.
What? Her growls sounds awesome. 😍😍😍😍😳
The origin of the agonist.... Old soul has return
Fun fact : Psaraki in Greek means little fish .
"Vicky the little fish" but with her growls in the end, she must be called "Vicky the megalodon" .
I think this was the best release with Vicky on vocals!
this actually makes me want to hear Vicky cover Jinjer's "Pisces" all the more badly
Σωστός!
They're all jupiterian
never underestimate the small fish as the small fish become big and they bite harder then you think and that's what Vicky shows us
Pou se re oresth antrakla :DD
WOW. Vicky always sounded amazing to me, but here she is absolutely perfect! Those vocals and growls are incredible :O
I've always liked her vocals too and I'm glad she's getting respected from this one. 🤘😀
This is the Agonist stile we love!
Deep growls are as scary as Vicki's bangs!! Killer!
This song is really amazing, the chorus gives it darkness, very good vocals, growls, the guitars very well done, the drums are power, perfect composition.
One of my favorite songs of The Agonist so far.
WOW. Super impressed with this new song!! Being an "oldschool" Agonist fan...this kicks ass.
Damn, was not expecting those lows at the end. Haunting and beautiful, great work on everything!
Do you think that was really her or was it studio magic?
Jimi Erickson I was thinking the same. Really curious how it's going to sound live.
@@jimijames27 Definitely her, but theyre probably a little bit boosted i guess, also what makes it sound more cooler is those choirs in the background but im afraid the song is probably going to sound awful live
@@jimijames27 I totally believe it's her from what I have been seeing in many The Agonist live videos from 2018 to here, not of this song for sure, but of many others from Alissa's time like "Panophobia" or "Thank you Pain", Vicky's growls are becoming more and more solid, I'm sure Orphans and the next albuns she'll be showing vocals as great as Tetiana from Jinjer or Lauren Hart from Once Human. GO LITTLE GREEK DEMON, GO!!!
That guitarist is killing it! \m/\m/
YAS VICKY YAS! YOU GO GIRL! 🔥🔥🔥
YESSS! This is what I’m talking about!
Something tells me The Agonist has gone back to there roots and I can dig that !!
this song is great !!!!
Are you joking? this is not heavy metal and without Queenbeast they suck shit!!!
dem holy moollyyy growls at the end: PERFECTION
the vocals at the end of the song: beastly
SO much better than that dry fry screaming throughout. She's gonna blow her chords out doing that.
I'm almost sure that this is the best thing they've released since Prisioners. I can even feel some vibe from Lullabies too.
True
Vicky truly stepped out of Alissa's shadow. This song is fucking epic.
She did that with Eye of Providence, an utterly phenomenal album.
@@raysprad404 I agree I love the "first Vicky" album I don't understand what haters go blabbering about
@@Valerio_VDF I also love Eye of Providence, one of my favorite albums for sure, but it looks like this one is going to be even more epic
But her screaming didn't match it at all, sadly.
Alissa? I prefer vicky's and angela's scream. Not a clean scream. But i love alissa
That ending thooooo!! 💪💪 \m/
I didn't realize how much I missed The Agonist. This very well might be the _best_ they've ever sounded, too.
Vicky... The new Godness 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
*Goddess
Alissa is Goddess not Vicky. :)
Usually I don't write comments. This time I simply must. I'm a metalhead for nearly 30 years. I wasn't a huge fan of The Agonist, until now. I enjoyed some of the older tracks (like Business suits and combat boots with Alyssa) and some after Vicky joined the band (like Gates of horn and ivory). When I've pressed play to listen to Orphans, I instantly started to bang my head... and so it was until the very last second of the album. After all those years of listening to tons of metal, it's not an easy task to impress me. This album is a f***in masterpiece. I was waiting for a weaker track while listening, but.. nope, sorry. It's perfectly complete as a whole. The tracks vary pretty much, but each and every one fits in perfectly. The emotions that this album evokes are beyond words to describe. It's agressive, dark, but so uplifting and energetizing at the same time. Everything is just perfectly in place. Starting with Vicky's vocals which became so expressive now, with all the techniques used being perfect - melodic, pugnacious, all so true while's she's singing clean. Her growling also came to another level, and when she goes to her lower growling, the devil himself sh*ts his pants and runs away scared. Those who expected her to fail when she took over Alyssa's place were so wrong. In my eyes, Vicky just joined the all-time hall fame of female metal queens. Besides, the band has improved and evolved in a such a great manner, avoiding losing their own style, but still going forward. Also the guitars are at a new level now imho. Astounding riffs, great solos here and there keep the album rolling like an unstoppable tank. Last, but not least, the drums - same as with vocals and guitars, level up. Altogether, this album is a strong 9/10 (just because they'll release a new one and I'll run out of scale) and a very strong candidate for the LP of the year. There's only one downside, it just ends too fast. \m/
Awesome dude
The Gift of Silence is amazing and single worthy but i agree that they're all good songs on the album
Sir: we found him--the comment of comments
And now they disbanded... :(
@@Sayuku_P "Thank You" for the info, missed this one, I'm happy that I've seen them once live, such a fuckin pity ;/
Really sad that the agonist has come to an end
I was under the impression that The Agonist was over when Alyssa left. I've never been so wrong.
I thought this too, until these guys played the Granada in Lawrence. Vicky earned my respect that night, and I had to personally apologize for not giving The Agonist the time of day after Alissa left.
Me too but I had high hopes.
I always loved Alissa's vocals and creativity, but the band was always exceptional at making unique instrumentals. Vicky is an amazing singer but what bugged me about her was the screams which here sound strained, while the production sounded mediocre in The Five even compared to Eye of Providence, which I actually liked! This album just sounded rushed.
However, I was holding off for when they get their act together and Vicky practises her screams which obviously, takes time and effort and is no easy task even for a talented singer.
And now in 2019, with the 2 new singles, the wait is over. The production, instrumentals and mixing sounds amazing like before and daaaamn, Vicky's screams are awesome! She has reached and even surpassed Alissa's screaming and vocals from the Prisoner's era and the band is on the path to greatness! The sound feels complete and fulfilling once again.
So no, it wasn't all just some random hating of some horny Alissa fanboys but rather, people slightly disappointed in the decrease of quality and complexity The Agonist always had, and now have regained :D
They just got fucking started, I guess!
holy shit Vicky,i didnt knew she changed this much for this little time and this is pretty awesome
That`s a big progress for the band musically!I love Vicky`s vocals still.They are more to growl than ever before.I like it much!
I saw this video on CZcams and I was like "I've never liked the agonist but let's see what's new" holy shit! One minute later I was heading to Spotify to download it in my list LOL now I have to listen to all albums with this new singer and I'm looking forward to listening something new
Holy shit. I’m watching this with my daughter and both of our heads just exploded. Absolutely incredible 😵😵🤘🤘
Awesomeness all the way through. Unbelievable ending. Vicky in her best form!!! Great work!!!
Note to self: Paco’s beard reaches his belly button at one point in the video. 10/10
Guys, you absolutely made me fall in love with you all over again.
And I've always loved you in the first place!
THIS. IS. GOLD.
I just hope all pop music were like this
OMFG! Sick! Get that album out NOW!
I think I'm gonna listen it again, she is brutal, even her clean vocals are good.
Interesting how she switches amongst 3 different kind of sing
VICKY you are growing up so good! Amazing song, powerfull voice!! Aplauses, Aplauses! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Grettings from Argentina The Agonist's crew
Estoy impresionado con la voz de Vicky, sobretodo al final 😨😨
Este álbum vendrá con todo 😍
Le arreglan la voz así le asian con alissa
Saul Hernandez habrá que ver los lives. En los últimos que recuerdo ya se notaba una mejoría en su voz, pero incluso en estudio el cambio es notable en comparación a los dos álbumes anteriores. Es de esperarse que mejore con los años de práctica, ya lleva 5 con la banda.
@@saulhernandez5030 De lo que me acuerdo, cuando entró a la banda igual le arreglaban la voz y sonaba como la mierda.
Pues si tiene un gutural orible pero si esta chida la canción
This song fucking RULES!!! I can't wait for the new album!! If it's even half as good as this song it'll be a masterpiece!!!
This is officially the most hardcore metal Alice in Wonderland-themed song I have ever heard.
wow holy shhh this is soo amazing !!!!!!! the beginning that soft siren voice and then the growls better and better!! the Agonist is rising
She really worked on those Screams. The whole band works perfectly now 👌
Didn't expect the transition somewhere in the 2-minute mark.
Then comes 4:20.
Tis be heavy. I like dis.
Damn! Same what I thought when I heard it!
420 lol
@@locket5673 blaze it
@@locket5673 No weed reference there, but glad you noticed it. XD
Blaze it all tha way, bruv.
An epic masterpiece . Musicianship is outstanding and the vocals both heavenly and demonic in the purest sense. The Agonist has reinvented itself , and shown the universe the beautiful brutality of their art.
Those freaking blast beats and the evil growls at the, The Agonist is seriously kicking asses again 🔥
After last album, I was going to leave, but this song...... omg, Vicky is growing with the vocals and it sounds great. Overall this was an amazing one to hear and glad to hear the older styles in it. Awaiting next song to see if they really are back on the roots.
AvdP85 The last album sucked so bad That i compared it to Bring Me The Horizon new shit 😂
Yo !
I'm so ready for this release ! I like the new style of scream from Vicky, very powerful. I'm pretty psyched for this release !!
Amazing
It sounds even weaker for me. I'm not impressed but i can deal with it.
@@Even_N.D. I agree . Her scream sounded painful and straining. The lows at the end is good but I am not sure who that is
@@despairingleonardo Maybe it's her but it's with effects or edited.
Holy shit! Damn! Now I can't wait for the whole record *-*
I'm in infinite loop since this music it was launched!
Masterpiece 🤘
4:15 LET'S GO VICTORIAAAA
I can't believe this song hasn't hit a million views yet and we're already past three months. Fuck this world.
Vicky is easily the most versatile female vocalist in metal now. Love her.
Diego Calderón never heard of her. Vicky is objectively the best.
Whenever this topic comes up i always think about Floor Jansen first, a soprano that can do brutal vocals ffs, it's a shame we don't get to hear it in Nİghtwish. And then there is also Tatiana Shmaylyuk of Jinjer. Alissa, Vicky... All these women deserve more than what they get
deutschesmaedchen tanya from Monochromatic Black is the best imo
What about Adrienne Cowan?
@@THEBLUETIGER911 Helena Iren Michaelsen too. Opera vocals, her "witchy vocals", clean vocals and even growls in the most recent Imperia release (which actually is generic ngl but still)
I love this! Such improvement! Vicky has her own style and i'm loving it!!!! 🖤
What an epic opener to the album.
That last part with the growls gave me goosebumps. Good job guys! Can't wait for the rest of the album.
YESSS!!! Me too
Here for the 1 million views!
OMFG!!! so impressive! so powerfull!
This should be a hack n slash game's main theme. Sounds epic, welcome back, The Agonist
"In Vertigo"
A little too big and a little too small
The thing is that life isn't one size fits all
So take a sip and a couple of bites
And lay back to feast with your own eyes
Down down down the rabbit hole!
Wake up to see the tiny world at your feet
A giant surprise, yours alone to meet
There's no way up, so don't wallow in fear
No need to drown in a pool of your own tears
Down down down the rabbit hole!
Down!
(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
With this strange crowd?
When will my feet hit the ground?
(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
In this strange land
When will I find...
Time and time again
We seek the answers
Time and time again
We fail to question
Time and time again
We go down, down, down...
Now let's just skip straight to chapter eight
She's tired of your so-called friendly debate
The riddles and tales you present to appease
Will be of no help when she's down to her knees
Down down down the rabbit hole!
Through trial and error one must learn to accept
But that's not the case, here, we're taught to forget
Don't you think for a second that the rules are dead
What's that my dear? Off with her head!
Down down down the rabbit hole!
Down!
(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
With this strange crowd?
When will my feet hit the ground?
(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
In this strange land
When will I find...
How did we get here to a place where the notes don't sound?
How did we get here to a place that stands alone in a crowd?
Take me back to that field that I've never been
Take me back to that sky that I've never seen
How did we let the sound slip away?
How did we let the sound slip away?
The whole band is on point here. This is hands down the best song they've released with Vicky. It sounds like something off of Lullabies For The Dormant Mind, which is my favorite album of theirs. I'm super excited for Orphans now. I honestly can't believe how much Vicky's screams have improved. I'm impressed. This is probably my favorite song of the year so far.
I haven’t even thought about listening to The agonist since Alissa but I think I just became a fan again. I sincerely can’t stop listening to this song🖤
I love this new song and now I am really looking forward to the album. I especially love the part at 4:16.
I wasn't ready for those drums
This song rips!
Also 1:16 "meow meow meow meomewo meeooww" hahahaha
Yo Dickey, I noticed you man. You're awesome!
xD
HAHAHAHHAHAHA
Rips like a ripped fart..stinks! they can do better!!!
😂😂
This song is definitely one of their best, and I can't wait to hear more of the new material. I'm not really even going to compare Vicky and Alissa because they are both damn good. I like a few of their older songs, but this one has quickly become a favorite of mine.
Alissa W. Gluz : The Agonist is nothing without me.
Vicky : Hold my beer
Haha WP bro
@Peter Lustig Sure, but anywai, only the result is important, and this one mhmhmhm
hahahaah yea ur so right, alissa is amazing but vicky is absolutely killing it
Did she say that?
without a doubt vicky is 10 times better then alissa
New Agonist!!! I'm so stoked!!
This is the real Agonist!
This is so good! Vicky got so much better I would say. All these different styles in one single song - just awesome!
Very pleased by this single!!
Reality80 yeah The last album sounded like garbage for me
It's been a while since your last album and I'M IMPRESSED. This song is just AWESOME. 😍
I can't wait to hear the whole álbum
This is sick, I love it.
I went to shock when the breakdown happened. I did not expect that voice to come from her. Holy fucking shit.
I wasnt a big fan of Vicky's vocals before and just stuck with alissas songs, but this was very good. Good on her for the growth 👍 I love seeing people improve
Xela D agree as hell, i enjoyed probably only two or three Songs when Vicky joined
I think everyone should take a deep breath and give some time to Vicky to evolve, she didn't knew much growlings when she joined The Agonist and it's a really hard vocal technique, but here we have a solid proof that she's been having growlings lessons and guess what? Vicky's gave us solid stuff this album, I'm pretty sure Orphans and the next albuns will be awesome.
Someone get Simon a raise.
Holy shit! I was directed to Orphans after I mentioned that I didn't listen to The Agonist anymore because it sounded like they just tried to shift the new girl into her position instead of having the whole band adapt and letting her do her thing. Digging the new sound.
