THE AGONIST Sign Album Contract With Napalm Records<\/strong><\/span>
\nMay 4th, 2016<\/strong><\/span>
\n
\nMontr\u00e9al, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada-based melodic death metal band The Agonist have signed a worldwide album contract with Napalm Records, revealing this development on May 4th, 2016.<\/p>\n

Guitarist Danny Marino commented: \u201cWe are thrilled to start the next chapter of The Agonist with Napalm Records! Since recording Eye Of Providence<\/em> we have been exploding with creativity and are set to record our best record to date. We’ve been working non-stop on the material on and off the road and now after four albums we have really found ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cVicky (Psarakis; vocals) and I seem to operate on a hive mind where we know exactly what the other is going for in the writing before it happens. It can actually be freaky sometimes. We are also very excited to be recording this album with Mike Plotnikoff. His experience and input will really help take our sound to a new level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Napalm Records\u2019 A&R representative Demetri Benoist added: \u201cWe are very excited to be working with The Agonist, this is a new chapter. The Agonist are poised to take it to the next level. Getting them in the studio to work with Mike Plotnikoff was a no brainer. Mike is going to push the envelope and help bring out their best. Napalm Records is committed to making the new album their most successful.\u201d<\/p>\n
