THE AGONIST In Writing Mode

March 26, 2010

Montreal, Quebec, Canada-based female-fronted metallers THE AGONIST have issued the following update:

"First off, we want to thank all the fans and crew that made our Japan tour an unforgettable experience and some of the best shows THE AGONIST have ever had to date.

"After returning from our massively successful Japanese tour, we have gone into intense writing hibernation and we are really psyched with what is coming out of it. Album 3 is looking to be the most epic yet for THE AGONIST. We are also proud to say that the touring will not stop in 2010!

"We are very excited to announce that we will be hitting Europe for the first time this fall. This is something that we have been waiting for since we started this band, and to all those that ask us every day to come across the Atlantic, well... IT'S HERE!

"We have been confirmed for the Metal Female Voices Fest in Wieze, Belgium on October 24th, 2010. We also will be returning to South America this August to visit countries that we have never played before.

"There is a lot more news coming VERY soon. Stay tuned!"
