The devil's extreme voice and the angel's clean voice clash! The Agonist's 5th album, \"Five,\" is set for release! Formed in Montreal, Canada in 2004, The Agonist established worldwide popularity with their metal sound, woven together by Danny Marino's heavy yet melodic guitar and Alissa White Gluz's versatile female vocals. After releasing three albums, Alissa left to join Arch Enemy, casting a shadow over the band's future. However, they revived with Vicky Sarakis. The album \"Eye of Providence\" (2015) was a powerful work that showed the band's strong will to continue. Then in 2016, The Agonist returned with their fifth album, aptly titled \"Five,\" which they themselves described as \"a masterpiece where creativity exploded.\" Produced by Mike Plotnikov, who has worked with Buckcherry and Halestorm, this album, like the band's trajectory, is full of dynamic sounds. From the dramatic development of \"The Moment,\" which starts with an intimidating guitar riff, to the violently fast-paced \"The Chain,\" and \"The Ocean,\" which combines hard energy with a melodic hook, the album showcases a variety of approaches. The twin guitars of Danny Marino and Pascal \"Paco\" Jobim also explode, with thrilling playing on tracks like \"The Villain.\" Vicky also delivers a unique vocal performance, centering on both beastly death growls and melodic clean vocals. In \"The Anchor and the Sail,\" both of their contrasting styles clash over an extreme tune, and her jazzy vocals in \"The Raven Eyes\" reveal a new facet of her charm. In \"The Pursuit of Emptyness,\" she showcases her soaring, straightforward vocals, and in \"The Man Who Fell to Earth,\" she expresses anguish with exquisite breath control over a mid-to-slow tempo song, while \"The Trial\" can be described as a theatrical, dark operetta. As Vicky says, \"Many of the songs have a story. Listening to this album is like escaping into our world,\" and 'Five' is a journey into the metallic space created by The Agonist. Having reaffirmed the band's musical style with their previous work, 'Five' sets The Agonist on a journey towards new possibilities, foreshadowing them becoming standard-bearers of a new generation of melodic death metal. Furthermore, the album concludes with a cover of \"Take Me Church,\" a 2013 hit by Irish singer-songwriter Hozier. The cover is dark and soulful, fully digested in The Agonist's style. The Japanese edition includes an acoustic version of \"The Raven Eyes\" as a bonus track. Vicky's passionate vocals are filled with breathtaking emotion.
