THE AGONIST Unveil Music Video For ‘The Raven Eyes’ Track
July 19th, 2017

Montréal, Québec, Canada-based melodic death metal group The Agonist have filmed a music video for the track ‘The Raven Eyes’. Directed by FTB Visuals, the clip can be viewed below.

Guitarist Danny Marino commented: “Writing this was a departure for Vicky [Psarakis, vocals] and I but it may have been one of the most rewarding as songwriters. It allowed us to explore sounds and emotions we’ve always wanted to but could never quite get to in a metal setting. Also, working with Igor Khoroshev (Yes) really helped bring out the full depth of Vicky’s piano and string arrangements. The lyrics were originally inspired by stories of the renaissance plague doctors. FTB Visuals was able to take these themes and create a modern world storyline with an equally dark overtone that captured the painful emotions in the song.”

The Agonist issued fifth full-length studio album Five on September 30th, 2016 through Napalm Records.

Five was produced and mixed by Mike Plotnikoff at West Valley Studios in Woodland Hills, California, and mastered by Maor Appelbaum at Maor Appelbaum Mastering in Los Angeles.
