THE AGONIST will start recording its new album later this month. The CD will once again be produced by Chris Donaldson (CRYPTOPSY) in the band’s hometown of Montreal and will be made available in the fall.
Commented THE AGONIST guitarist Danny Marino: “Creating this album has been an amazing experience so far.
“Vicky has breathed new life into the songwriting process and we are so excited to share these first two tracks with the world!
“The songs on this album represent a culmination of the past 10 years, as well as a new beginning for THE AGONIST. We’re also thrilled to be back in the studio with our old friend and longtime engineer Chris Donaldson.
“We can’t thank our fans enough for their ongoing support in this new and exciting chapter of THE AGONIST!”
Vicky joined THE AGONIST as the replacement for Alissa White-Gluz, who left the band to focus on her new gig as the frontwoman of ARCH ENEMY.
THE AGONIST’s third album, Prisoners, debuted at No. 19 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
