The Agonist-Swan Lake

[Slipknottiator]

It gives me the heebie-jeebies

[victzung]

She's perfect! Her voice is one of the bests

[victzung]

D+++++++++



[Leon0the0bushi]

Great song!

[wolf95]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwww

[Lianimal]

can someone with music expertice please tell me how many octaves she covers here, because I have no clue about that stuff, and I'd like to be able to tell my friends who I share her with

[psycholian]

@Lianimal

From what I can hear, she goes from G3 to D#6, about two and a half octaves. Certainly wider than what is to be expected of most sopranos or altos, though not really the highlight of this song. The polyphony and timing are much trickier to pull off imo.

[TheSymmachus]

The vocalizing here sounds serene! This is not what I expected when I wanted to hear The Agonist, but there's no problem with that!

[xSymphonicMetalx]

EPIC

LOVE TO SEE THEM OPEN WITH THIS AS THEY TAKE THE STAGE AS BLACK SABBATH/HEAVEN & HELL OPENED WITH E5150

[faerydustcollector]

@xSymphonicMetalx just imaging seeing that live, just bring shivers down my spine. Totally epic on all levels

[KiraKatrinaStyers]

Sigh every time I listen to this it's just.... wow



[vihmakaitse]

@KiraKatrinaStyers The very high sends shivers down my spine. Unbelievable voice range!

[Avenger4343]

this is like my penis....only a few miles longer

[Patalowa123]

podobne

[flamingidot001]

even though this was completely done in a music lab it came out sounding amasing. not what i expected from this band

[Patalowa123]

Harry Potter?

[LoveShattersWindows]

@Patalowa123 No, it's Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Swans." >_> You sir are a giant faggot. Take your Harry Potter bullshit and your magic wand and shove it up your candy ass.

[McGuiver002]

@LoveShattersWindows

U Mad bro?

[azzianazzian]

@LoveShattersWindows Haha agreed =3

[FrozenDreamfall]

@LoveShattersWindows Actually I was shocked too,if you listen closely to one of the songs in the movie it's very much like this,and I heard the composer's quite a plagiarist,I know it sounds really stupid,but if you listen to it you'll really be like what the hell

[WhereDidItRun]

@Patalowa123 Tchaikovsky - swan lake

[sebitasabra]

yes is the ONE!!!

[Neytiriworldnews]

Beautiful

[lupetta2i]

beautiful voice!

[ShiSeKin]

"the agonist new album" Not Anymore !!

The Escape 2011 is The Album

[DavidMihaelovich]

Her voice gives me goosebumps.

[passthejoint19]

horrible

[WenzelLeon]

@passthejoint19 why?

[Viruca29]

@passthejoint19 Why?! DDD:

[passthejoint19]

@Viruca29 sounds like shit

[Viruca29]

@passthejoint19 Okay, but I like it :D

[BreakingGraceProd456]

The Agonist's genre? Metal... That's all that's needed to describe it.

[1ch3atd3ath]

@TheAliceOfSacrifice She isn't a singer, she is an Instrument of perfection.

[warrior24880]

Who gives the shit what style it is its really good

[136zac1]

b e a utiful!!

[enrike92ea]

Buenísimo

[Lianimal]

Alyssa White Gluz (the singer) herself describes the sound as Melodic Deathcore. Maybe that will end the debate?

[DysnomiaBlue]

@TheAliceOfSacrifice Alissa White Gluz. 

[ALBUMOF2008]

these are some epic sounds

[tickkick14]

I can see it as metalcore, but the deathcore is obviously there (singing). It's all good music, though.

[robberbaronlol]

its pretentiousness is baseless . this isn't good.

[D3AMONS]

@robberbaronlol Who are you to judge music so well Mr.Arrogant?

[grimreaper16111]

THERES METAL HAVYMETAL DEATHMETAL AND ETC BUT THIS IS ALISSAMETAL

[hereticrevenant]

Yeah, Swan Lake is a classical composition by Pyotr Tchaikovsky written in 1875. This is just this band's interpretation of it, and beautiful it is. Anyone that loves classical and hasn't heard this is missing out. One of my favorites of all time.

[ShinoShi8324]

Amazing!



[elgaed69]

I know I'm going to sound paranoid to the profane, but this album really has all the markings of serious occult and mind-scientific skill.  Prepare to be influenced!

[MandaRocksGuitarHero]

Beautiful...

[666Desolate999]

Idiots.. Early Norther or Skyfire would have worked this stunning piece much much better Listen to Norther's -Dream ,

her voice is REALLY ANOYING, (pictures Harry Hill coming from behind her with a baseball bat)

[VosotrosEterno]

@666Desolate999 "Idiots...ANOYING"

Irony is always a funny thing. If you like early Norther or Skyfire....go tell those fans how much that band sucks and how they need to listen to The Agonist. It's all for the better.

Anyway, best not to troll.

[Flechas666JorgeLopez]

Nice version for this master piece

[ValkyreMoon]

EPIC EPICNESS

[xXxKazamaxXx]

Uhm yeah. This song is totally melodic hardcore speed metal.

In all fairness, I can relate this song to Cradle of Filth a lot.

STOP PISSING ABOUT AND JUST LISTEN TO IT

[xWagnerPlaguesx]

this should be like extended.for like at least 10 or 20 minutes.

[NenX11]

so wonderfulllll....

[m4rn4]

i can listen to this tune over and over and never be sick of it :) ... Alissa sings amazing offcourse as always :))

[krazyzark]

that was great, but what the heck is all this talk of melodic metal and metalcore? there's nothing metal about this particular track. it's a purely vocal arrangement of a ballet from the Romantic period. what next, Joplin's "The Entertainer" is German speed metal? The band may be melodic metal/metalcore or whatever, but this song is NOT. but it is still awesome.

[Luziferofdarkness]

8 people can't see what's beautiful ♥

[amygabe1990]

i luv this chick, not only is she really seriously talented shes also fukn hot!

[amygabe1990]

i luv this chick, not only is she really seriously talented shes also fukn hot!!

[MissWolfMaiden]

I think I might break the repeat button

[asdatriel]

She is just a siren!!!

[bbeboutuaa]

yea Tchaikovski <---- I think I spelled that right

[asdatriel]

@drykard Christmas album??? How is that?? o.o

[DeadlyRose1]

beautiful

[mortician001]

random screams would sound so great i¡on this song

[dhopkins35]

fucking incredible



[NaokoXIchimaru]

I love music, but I almost never get "chills" or "goosebumps" like a lot of people say they do when they listen to certain songs. The closest I would ever get to something like that i when I blasted a techno song at full volume.

Literally every time I hear this song, I get chills multiple times. It's one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

[IDontKnow2587]

I'm hypnotised *-*

[ClaraGrobanFan]

I can't stop listening to this song. It's bewitching me!

[MagicalGirlFanatic]

It doesn't matter how many times I listen to this, my mind gets blown each and every time. Simply amazing song.

[ciara12v]

wow... i was listining to this while looking at anna varney pics and i felt.. like released od sumthin it was trippy

[PrincessFalkon]

She's my number one vocalist. Her voice is sooo moving ;( and her screaming gives me chills and she's very pretty and... damn, why I'm not a man? xD

[MissLuckyAnonymous]

I can't believe you didn't put in the lyrics!!! :D I love this track <3

[goddessoflove4ever]

@MissLuckyAnonymous lol there aren't lyrics to this...

[dchasemac]

I miss the days befor people divided music genres inot all these stupid fucking sub genres, i remeber when metal was metal, punk rock was punk rock and rock was Oldies come who started this fucking bull shit

[MakiPocky]

@dchasemac im totally with you on that. i have no idea when everything got divided up so bad, im corrected every time i refer to a genre *eye roll* its just getting ridiculous

[AlexxRose13]

@dchasemac

...Musicians who started developing their own styles that couldn't be categorized on an oversimplified scale...

[GodofChaos45]

I really need to buy this album.

[agiswusithey]

Beautiful....

[kaRoOkE2]

beautifull song

[goddessoflove4ever]

i swear she's an enchantress. this is hypnotic

[grgmna]

Every time I listen to this, my mouth gapes open a little.

Then my eyes get wide.

And then I get chills and almost cry. Ha ha ha.

Everyone, quit bitching about which genre you think it is.

Start bitching about how amazing it is.

:D

[TheSweeterKill]

dang alissa's got mad talent, this album is by far thee best from a female screamer/singer

[RaVioliness420]

God I fucking LOVE this band! I got just one word to describe them: Original.

Hard, soft, or simply bizarre, Agonist does it well.

[tRuEmo666]

wheres the picture from?

[Runningtail]

this song and bela lugosi just seem intertwined in my mind

[Cambria358]

almost brought me to tears and im a straight male lol

[psychosuccubus]

I want to hear her perform this live : )

[Ivyblade04]

Such a lovely voice I'm in fucking awe

[ParadoxicalSymphony]

@dancewiththedevil45 That's what I always think whenever I listen to 'The Tempest, The Siren's Song." XD

[EMOKIDBFMV69]

amazing

[Axelrckr]

Hemoroso, sin mas, maravillosa pieza...

[arobert16]

amazing!

[musicalkaratekid]

this is the agonist.labelling them with stupid genre barriers is pointless,and perhaps doing them injustice as well(look up 'injustice' for those who dont know what it means). meanwhile,her voice is absolutely incredible in this song,i wouldn't change it for the world\m/

[Moradax]

nice interpretation !

[xsnakeeyekillerx]

absolutely beautiful.....

[killadmanchvagas]

Shes the most beautiful singer in the world.

Not to mention She can do amazing things with her voice her musics kickass aswell as beautiful and intresting and even though the rest of her bands ugly as hell shes a canadian piece of hot ass bacon!!! so any of u haters just leave off and dont watch their videos.seriously just cause you dont like it doesnt mean any of us care.

[happykecgirl]

I want to sing that with our choir :D :D

[AntiLuck333]

i love women singers they fucking rule there should be more bands like this

[i2klorenzo1]

HARRY POTTER KALICE!

[i2klorenzo1]

HARRY POTTER KALICE

[theguyfromavonlake]

Who gives a flying fuck what genre it is its fucking awesome leave it that

[xxEthsxx]

@theguyfromavonlake True what about we just call it the Agonist !they own!and got their own style

[theguyfromavonlake]

@xxEthsxx Thank You! haha fuck the haters and keyboard gremlins that sit on youtube and argue all day

[sum41Rck]

@xxEthsxx we can just call them their own genre, that work?

[theguyfromavonlake]

@xxEthsxx true dat

[Metalscavenger]

@theguyfromavonlake its The Agonistcore!

[stkuehne]

there seems to be a lot of discussion as to what this band is, so i will settle it. this band is alternative metal; alternative in the sense that you can't put it into a specific genre. they do a wide variety of styles in their music, so this can be misleading.

[Diede4d666]

weird album cover but great band

[Thryon92]

Scheisse das ist doch egal ob es nun Metalcore oder Death Symphonyc Metal isch oder Death Melodic Metal... IT'S FUCKING GOOD METAL \m/

[musicalkaratekid]

ever so beautiful voice....amazing:D

[666daniel234]

@xxEthsxx its not metalcore its death symphonic metal!!

[xxEthsxx]

@666daniel234 As long as they stop calling it screamo.

[666daniel234]

@xxEthsxx Why the hell do they say its screamo??!!

[xxEthsxx]

@666daniel234 I didn't say that !!!!!!!!WTF I say as long as people stop calling it screamo because some people commented they were screamo !

damn and it's not symphonic either !

[666daniel234]

@xxEthsxx NOOOOO dude!!! you got it wrong i didnt said that you were calling it screamo i was just asking why do they call it screamo??' thats all i did not said that you were calling it like that!!!.... BUT IT IS SYMPHONIC DEATH METAL!!!!

[MarketingOnlineTips]

@666daniel234 a lot of people say growling is screamo although it is not unfortunately. Screamo is something different but people that do not know what they are talking about say this shit all around the Internet

[AntiLuck333]

@666daniel234

[crakhp]

it's not metalcore either

it's melodic death metal

[xxEthsxx]

@crakhp It has breakdowns(specially in Once Only Imagined).It gives the core.

[xx6bullet6wulf6xx]

@xxEthsxx so melodic deathcore :D

[Sulfairy]

@xxEthsxx Groove metal it's almost all about breakdonw's and it doesn't have any core, btw, it's a little of melodic deathcore, metalcore, and some groove metal, as you can realy see in the beggning of memento mori, so it's surely their own style

[eqjr93]

@xxEthsxx breakdowns have existed before core has even been invented, so just b/c it has a breakdown doesnt make it a core, having breakdowns every song will make it core but the agonist has way to much range musically to be labeled core

[DivideChannel]

@xxEthsxx + clean vocals -> NO melodic death metal! Anyway great music.

[jimmyranaway]

@xxEthsxx she is a good vocalist and performed well in this piece, i dont really care what genre their music is, it is clear that she is talented

[frenchmen88]

@xxEthsxx Ok, just to settle that debate: it's metalcore with death growls, which makes it DEATHCORE.

[tansvanio]

@xxEthsxx I think its a mix betwean melodic death and metalcore.

[racosphinx]

@crakhp Lmao. They're definitely not death metal.

[crakhp]

@racosphinx this song is obviously not death metal but the others are ..read on wikipedia if u don't belive

[racosphinx]

@crakhp They still don't sound melodeath to me. I've heard all the songs on this album and most of Once Only Imagined. They sound like metalcore to me. I guess I based my definition of metalcore on them mainly though...

[crakhp]

@racosphinx nah..metal core/melodic death metal..who gives a fuck

The Agonist are the best and that's it.

[racosphinx]

@crakhp Strangely, I care. Not sure why, I just like to classify things. Anyway, we'll leave it at that.

[deadeye13sniper]

THIS IS metlodic metal!

[Gandufalo]

@crakhp NO, It´s music!!

[keirapotter]

@crakhp I would say that sometimes they're melodeath ("Thank you pain"), sometimes they're metalcore ("Business suits") and sometimes (more rarely) they're deathcore ("And their eulogies")... I like this diversity :D

[crakhp]

@keirapotter indeed.i like alot bands that don't sing in only one style

[ceef999]

best female singer ever!

[BillBillBill95]

<3 OMG! So beautiful

[amertify]

plus,pig squelling~~eargasm every tym i heard.

[zirkiwiki2]

Damn, she goes so high and low...and she also screams...whatelse?

[haterbegone]

i luv her she is the worlds greates chick screamo band ever to live

[necrocobhc]

she got the perfect voice, gutural and somethig like these is just insane she´s prefect

[FFChpiopaliamaxh15]

just awesome

[xXxEscapeTheFatexXxX]

I wonder what her vocal range is. If any body knows it or can tell me what it is, because I know she can go lower then this but I don't know how many octaves she can sing. But if anyone knows or anything and you could tell me that would be amazing! :D

[hilltoprocks]

that was very good!

[xXSugrxLipsXx]

damn amazingggg O_O

[Briannicus]

Absolutely sublime. As a fan of both metal and classical, this is a masterpiece. It takes TRUE talent to be able to pull something like this off.

[YouHahahahaTube]

Damn she substituted all the orchestra pieces with her voice. Thats talent right there

[Ableofdarkness]

simply amazing

[icygrave5]

She can scream very well and then do things like this...... gah, i'm so envious.

[paben101]

fuckin sick

[frankfreakified]

Amazing <3

Her voice is beautiful.

[Kokett0s]

It's very dark in a way..

u expect her to start screaming and she just....doesn't!

[screamoisonmymind]

i expected to go to like a breakdown or somethin but it didnt

[duvessagirl]

damn i wish i could sing like her :o she can grunt amazingly and also singing woooow,respect <3

[bloodline862]

wow this is beautiful.

[oOxPookyxOo]

She is freaking awesome and nasty hot! I love Alissa <3 She's the hottest woman metal singer and she can also do this,, damn I wish I could grunt like her really :O

[noirtheblackwolf]

many metal and hard rock singers actually sing well. many say it's even harder to sing the way they do.

but hey. U would'nt sing a kind of music you did'nt like, when you could sing the one you do like would you?

[DarkEyesofSorrow]

listen to any other song and you will know why

[scarlett1443]

i like it

[thepiewantsrevenge]

she didnt use just her voice there is a very faint backing track listen, still fucking amazing

[purplesasuke]

alissa did a beautiful job on this piece. Knowing she made it just using her voice, it's even more creativally lovely

[crusheskiss1]

damn shes good

[AbigailxAgonist]

true talent

[emilieautumnFAN13]

such a beautiful track. Pyotr Tchaikovsky would be proud that such a wonderful rendition of his piece could be made.

Alissa really shows off her powerful voice in this song.

astoundingly beautiful piece by this band. really stands out amidst the albums normal melodic flow and stylings
