Montreal based The Agonist have recently released their fifth studio album THE EYE OF PROVIDENCE via Century Media. They have also just announced dates for Revolver Magazine’s Women In Rock Tour which will be co-headlined by Dutch symphonic metal titans EPICA and Swiss folk metallers ELUVEITIE. Check out their video for “Danse Macabre” which is on their new album:
‘THE EYE OF PROVIDENCE, or God’s all-seeing eye, is a piece of religious iconography with origins stemming back to ancient Egypt. But THE AGONIST aren’t going all History Channel on their new album. The lyrical center isn’t about pyramids, the Freemasons, or its appearance on the United States one-dollar bill. As on previous albums, The Agonist are commenting heavily on advances in monitoring technology, particularly as it relates to governments intruding on the private lives of its citizens.’ Guitarist Danny Marino comments,
“We are embracing a number of new topics. The Agonist still wants to be a voice for change. However, there are many socio-political and personal topics that we haven’t yet covered. We get into some of those on this record.”
