THE AGONIST Releases New Video For "Orphans"
September 2019 saw melodic death metal juggernaut, THE AGONIST, release their sixth studio album, Orphans, via Rodeostar Records. With Orphans the band delivered their most extreme, melodic, and larger-than-life sounding record to date.

We're all "Orphans", but we're in this life together."
