Listen To New THE AGONIST Song 'Burn it All Down'

“Burn it All Down”, a brand new song from Montreal, Quebec, Canada’s extreme metal juggernaut THE AGONIST, can be streamed below. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album, “Orphans”, which will be released on September 20 via Rodeostar Records.

Says vocalist Vicky Psarakis: “When I heard the first instrumentals for ‘Orphans’ I was a bit shocked and confused. The music was really dark and heavier than anything we’ve done in previous albums and I wasn’t quite sure how I’d be able to match that emotion. But then, you know, all it took was writing one full song to get the ball rolling and 2-3 months later, everything was done.

“With every new album, we love to experiment and dip our toes into new territory, but there’s also a lot of elements here that are reminiscent of the earlier days. You can expect a lot of hard hitting, fast-paced madness and many many blast beats! Vocally, there’s a wide range of styles, some of which I tried out for the first time, and the lyrics are mostly inspired from horror stories and real-life tragedies. Events that I felt a lot of people can relate to.

“‘Orphans’ is my third album with THE AGONIST and I can’t wait to show the world what we created!”

On its sixth studio album, “Orphans”, THE AGONIST has unleashed a true monster feeding on melodic death metal and almost rocking moments. In between beautifully anthemic metal sound walls, pounding grooves and fierce riffs, charismatic vocalist Vicky Psarakis showcases her impressive range that covers everything from rock diva all the way to sick death metal growls. The result is a flickering, iridescent and varied masterpiece nestled in between sheer brutality and melodic frailty.
