Metal band The Agonist release new album

METALLERS The Agonist have unveiled the video for A Gentle Disease.

The track is taken from the Canadians' new album Eye Of Providence, which was released this week via Century Media Records.

Vocalist Vicky Psarakis told RealSoundsOK: "A Gentle Disease was one of the most interesting tracks to write and record. It allowed us to take the band somewhere it’s never been before and I was really happy to be a part of that. 

"I remember hearing the music and being left with a wide spectrum of emotions. On the one hand, it’s acoustic and simple compared to other songs on the album. At the same time the chord progression is quite unpredictable, leaving you in a very unsettling mood. 

"This song also let me to explode a more subdued jazz vocal style that I enjoy. I think the song adds to the diversity of 'Eye Of Providence'. Lyrically, like the music, 'A Gentle Disease' is based on contradiction. Imagine being thrown into a world where everything is turned upside down and exact opposite of what you’re used to."

The band will also be heading out on a European tour in March with Otep and Ferium. There will be dates in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the UK.
