The Agonist was a Canadian metalcore band from Montreal, Quebec, formed in 2004. The last known lineup consisted of lead guitarist Danny Marino, bassist Chris Kells, drummer Simon Mckay, rhythm guitarist Pascal "Paco" Jobin and lead vocalist Vicky Psarakis, who joined in March 2014 following the departure of vocalist and founding member Alissa White-Gluz.
Originally known as the Tempest, the band adopted their current moniker upon their signing to Century Media in 2007. The Agonist had released six studio albums; the last, Orphans, was released in September 2019.[1] They had shared the stage with bands such as Arsonists Get All the Girls,[2] Epica,[3] the Faceless,[4] Chelsea Grin,[5] Kamelot,[6] and Visions of Atlantis.[7] The band announced in May 2023 that they would be breaking up due to "a mix of personal, financial and industry related issues".[8]
