THE AGONIST Sign Worldwide Deal With CenturyMedia Record.
It is extremely rare to find an up-and-comingmetal band taking strong political stands, muchless one that’s ledby a dominating,

(formerly TheTempest) to aworldwide deal.
This quartet delivers introspective, scathing lyrics,and their debut album Once Only Imagined, whichis set for asummer release,
willdefinitely catchpeople’s attention.
Vocalist Alissa White-Gluz’s vegan roots fuel herneed to promote the protection of the planet anditsinhabitants, and she does so
throughthis outlet.Along with guitarist Danny Marino, bassist ChrisKells and drummer Simon McKay.
Each member brings their own rich musicalbackgrounds to the table, creating the perfectexpression of melodyand madness.
Make no mistake, this is a straight-up metal bandthat holds nothing back with one goal in mind: tomake musicthat is as catchy
as it isheavy; as sweetas it is loud; and as angry as it is melancholy.
Alissa states: “We were definitely intrigued whenCentury Media took notice, simply by chance, afterhearing afew unmastered
tracks ofours. Thispartnership with Century gives us the platform tosay what we need to say and do what we needtodo, and
that is promote andeducate the publicon some fundamental causes that are quicklybeing forgotten, voiced through
provokingmusicthat carries the messagehome.â€.
