THE AGONIST Singer Checks In From SONATA ARCTICA Tour

September 19, 2007

THE AGONIST's video for the track "Business Suits And Combat Boots" (shot by director David Brodsky) will make its "Headbanger's Ball" debut this Saturday, September 22 on MTV2. Watch the clip below.

THE AGONIST recently completed a handful of dates alongside EPICA and VISIONS OF ATLANTIS, leading them immediately into a month-long North American tour with SONATA ARCTICA. They will cap off the fall with tours alongside ENSLAVED and OVERKILL.

Commented vocalist Alissa White-Gluz: "The SONATA ARCTICA tour is going amazing and we are looking forward to hitting all of the cities we haven't been to before. I personally find it hard to be away from home, as this is the furthest I have ever been. It's an emotional rollercoaster, especially for someone as invested as I am. I have to just keep my goals within eye-shot and my chin up. Even at shows where the crowd doesn't know or care about us and the promoter is treating us like shit, the saving grace is that there are usually at least a few people in the crowd mouthing the lyrics along with the songs. That is what drives me and keeps me going. Seeing that someone, even if it's just one person, took the time to enjoy and learn my songs. That is amazing and makes any show a good one. Thank you for that.

"The video for 'Business Suits And Combat Boots' turned out better than we ever expected. There was a nice balance of elements that we as a band had control over, and areas where David's creativity came into play. We think that it is visually beautiful, and along with the lyrics, makes for interesting visual interpretations. We look forward to seeing you all soon."

"Business Suits And Combat Boots" comes off THE AGONIST's debut album, "Once Only Imagined", which was released on August 14 through Century Media.

THE AGONIST recently announced the addition of second guitarist Andrew Tapley to the group's ranks.
