The Agonist Cancel Remaining Enslaved Shows
2007-11-23 15:27:00 So, after desperately trying to make our way through a blizzard's Rocky Mountain terrain to get to our Oregon show and continue the Enslaved tour... we found ourselves stranded in a ditch, with the trailer upside down on it's nose. Yes, we crashed trying to get to a show... but nobody was hurt at all. Our vehicle however, a different story.Long story short, our gear got wrecked, then the van short-fused, we nearly killed a deer (poor thing!-I'm still hyper-ventilating), the wipers broke and we got a flat tire on the trailer while attempting to drive our newly mutated van and trailer combo. Then, I found out that I had yet another family member to bury, the third one since the beginning of tour. I now have missed three funerals in total between the Sonata and Enslaved tours...and given the string of bad luck we decided to cut our losses and head home.So, we apologize greatly for missing those of you on the West coast and through the lower States, we were looking forward to new fan...
The Agonist - Veganism, A Tool To Reduce Suffering
2007-10-30 23:54:00 "The question is not, CAN they reason? Nor, CAN they talk? But, CAN they suffer?"-Jeremy Bentham, "An Introduction to the Principles of Morals & Legislation", 1789One of the best things you can do for yourself, and for the Planet, is to go vegan. And veganism isn't an elite group of pure, perfect beings, it is the definition of caring, compassionate, humane beings using our super-species status to prevent the suffering of others rather than to propagate it.Global warming has become a very talked about issue in the media, and rightfully so. I can only hope that factory farming will become as exposed and protested as climate change is. One of the major contributers to greenhouse gas emissions is factory farming, so what better way to maintain a healthy planet, body and ethical standard than to stop supporting the torturous slaughterhouses that make up the industrialized meat industry?Of course there are those who believe that Global warming is a hoax, a conspiracy... but then you hav...

2007-08-28 05:46:00 Montreal?s hottest new export, THE AGONIST, is quickly catching the attention of the entire metal community due primarily to vocalist Alissa White-Gluz?s uncompromising vision, intelligence and thought-provoking lyrics.

Divine Heresy & The Agonist
2007-08-28 05:02:00 Just fell on this band, Divine Heresy, while looking for music news. The least I can say is that they have interesting artwork, I like it a lot.They also happen to have a song on their myspace called Failed Creation, not bad. Their album, Bleed The Fifth, is out tomorrow, I might have a look at this! Read this news report, also contains their video Failed Creation.Oh... it's metal, not for the faint of heart.Though the image up there kinda blew that away a little. Can't say I didn't warn you!edit: Now it just wouldn't be fair I talked about Divine Heresy, but not about The Agonist, pictured right, which I discovered about 10 minutes after writing this post. The Agonist is yet another metal band, (i'm getting more metal as time goes by, go figure) they're from Montreal and the 2 songs on their myspace are kicking some major asses. Actually, it's way better than Divine Heresy, there's definately more talent in The Agonist, it's just blatantly obvious. Another interesting fact... |
