The eternal talent of modern metal?

Although it at The Agonist not bad running and the Canadians have earned a solid reputation as a secret, was ex-frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz otherwise than for the newly available space of Angela Gossow in Arch Enemy her hat in the ring throw. At the end of the charismatic Canadian got the distinctive hairstyle, the location, and her now ex-colleagues had to reschedule and re-occupy. Thus stands on Eye of Providence for the first time Vicky Psarakis the microphone, whose name indeed Greek sounds, however, comes from the neighboring United States.

Despite new frontlady The Agonist have changed little in their basic orientation. Still it sounds modern, hard and makes every effort to change. Also therefore Psarakis probably get the nod because it can not only shouten but also moves the clean vocals safe. As the very large voice does not present the new (still?), And whether it extends to the charisma of its predecessor approach must above all show the concerts, but band and singer fit doubt together. Nothing is out of place, and "Eye of the Providence" sounds as such quite consistent. Another, much more serious problem the Americans have been replaced despite still can not rid the world: namely the neglect of really great moments. So can "Eye of Providence", just like its predecessor "Prisoners", a classic hit than miss hanger ("Danse Macabre" comes the closest yet) and is less than an hour playing time also a whole corner failed too long. This is against a lot of material per se is not something to say (Epica prove with each new plate, the opposite), in the present case it is rather the case that the good moments ("My Witness your Victim", "Disconnect me") of the amount of songs and ideas are easily spilled somehow. That makes this third work of course far from a bad album, just it is located in the end somehow own way. One problem that a common thread runs through the previous career of the quintet and raises slowly but surely slight doubts whether the troupe from Montreal, the curve gets again or not. To wish it would be them, because the production shifts, and the right armor has basically even. What is still lacking is the right master plan, then it will come eventually with the great listening pleasure.
