The Agonist Release New Song + Video, “As One We Survive”

If “As One We Survive” is any indication, The Agonist have found a positive outlet for any residual anger from the messy split with their former singer, Alissa White-Gluz (now in Arch Enemy). The crunchy new song was apparently inspired by the band’s ability to persevere during a particularly unpleasant tour, but really, the track is just an all around kick-ass team anthem. Even the structure of the song seems to echo its lyrical theme: it begins as a total rager, full of Swedecore goodness, and then slows for the chorus, as though pulling something cumbersome and refusing to give up.

And then there’s the ninety-second outro, which is just goddamn epic. I could listen to that minute-and-a-half on repeat for an hour.

Check out “As One We Survive” via the below music video. The track will appear on The Agonist’s new album, Orphans, which comes out September 20 via Rodeostar Records. Pre-order it here.
