Reviews of Prisoners are already rolling in! Read on to see what the press have to say about the latest from The Agonist:
“THE AGONIST writes some crunchy, brutal songs that will have even the most jaded metalhead, fist-pumping along.” — PURE GRAIN AUDIO.com
“THE AGONIST spent three grueling years putting [‘Prisoners’] together, not because its original release date got pushed back, not because the Montreal-based band is on tour promoting it, but because it kicks ass.” — YELL MAGAZINE.com
