The Agonist announce new EP ‘Days Before The World Wept’
THE AGONIST have announced a new EP!
Titled Days Before The World Wept, the upcoming EP from the Canadian melodic death metal band is the follow-up to 2019’s Orphans and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Napalm Records.
The upcoming EP was produced by Christian Donaldson [BEYOND CREATION, CRYPTOPSY, DESPISED ICON] and speaking about the upcoming EP, vocalist Vicky Psarakis says, “there’s a lot I could say about this EP and its importance to the band, but does it matter? Obviously, this is the part where I tell you these are the best songs we’ve put out to date. Honestly – it’s a journey. You’re either gonna reach the end and want to relive it or you’re not… and that’s okay. Let the music speak for itself.”
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Remnants In Time. Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, Psarakis continues, “Remnants in Time is the first chapter in this story. It marks the final moments of a person’s life and the journey that begins right after. We wanted the visuals to strongly reflect the lyrics and the concept behind them, and transforming me into a demon was key in that. I’m a huge fan of horror/sci-fi and makeup transformations, so working with a professional makeup artist and the use of prosthetics was the coolest part for me! This song – and video – is all about extremes. Angelic and demonic, fragile and strong, delicate and aggressive. It embodies a lot of what THE AGONIST is about.”
