Canadian extreme metal band The Agonist have revealed their new music video for ‘The Raven Eyes’ which is taken from their album ‘Five’.
Guitarist Danny Marino speaks about the song and video, “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.”
‘Five’ is available now via Napalm Records
