The Agonist will be kicking off their first ever headlining tour of Canada next month, and to fans more excited for the run, they’ve unveiled a brand new video from their latest record, Five. Here’s what guitarist Danny Marino said on ‘The Raven Eyes’ clip: “Writing this was a departure for Vicky and I but it may have been one of the most rewarding as songwriters. It allowed us to explore sounds and emotions we’ve always wanted to but could never quite get to in a metal setting. Also, working with Igor Khoroshev (Yes) really helped bring out the full depth of Vicky’s piano and string arrangements. The lyrics were originally inspired by stories of the renaissance plague doctors. FTB Visuals was able to take these themes and create a modern world storyline with an equally dark overtone that captured the painful emotions in the song.”
