Orphans by The Agonist

   It's been a couple weeks since it's new release but there's still quite a bit of buzz around the release of their new album "Orphans" by The Agonist, and rightfully so. After reading some other reviews and comments from the metal community, I can't help but agree that this may be their best album to date. It's one of those albums where you think you may know your favorite song, and then the next one plays so you begin to second guess yourself. Every song is a heavy banger.
    Vicky Psarakis has the voice of an angel with an almost demonic twist. With a mix of melodic and metal growling, she brings beautiful singing and headbanging in perfect harmony. It's a combo that, if executed properly, can work well and go hand in hand. Which is exactly what Vicky brings to the table, from the first song "Vertigo", to the last song "Burn it Down". It's an album that takes you on a journey all the way through. So sit back, crank it up, and enjoy. It's definitely a 10/10.
    I did see one person comment something that I thought was great. Can't remember it exactly so I'll paraphrase, but he basically said that "Orphans" has now been adopted by the metal community, and I can't help but agree. Great job to all the amazing people in The Agonist and also all the producers who helped this make this enjoyable album.

Go check out the album if you haven't already. It's out for purchase now and is also available on music streaming services. Enjoy and happy headbanging.
