The Agonist's New Singer Changed Band's Approach
. (TeamRock Radio) The Agonist guitarist Danny Morino says new singer Vicky Psarakis changed the way the band writes music. Morino says Psarakis brought a collaborative approach to songwriting sessions that was lacking when previous vocalist Alissa White-Gluz was at the helm. White-Gluz left The Agonist last year to replace Angela Gossow in Arch Enemy. And The Agonist's upcoming album Eye Of Providence is the first to feature Psarakis, who Morino says was a breath of fresh air in the studio. He tells Metal Wani: "The way we approached the songwriting process on this record was really different. The other three were all written in the same method. I would write a song and bring it to Alissa and she would write the lyrics and vocals. There was zero communication. No collaboration. There was no room for discussion with Alissa. "After Vicky joined we took a much more collaborative approach. Everyone's viewpoint on this album was what's best for the song. Whereas on previous albums people got a little selfish thinking, 'What about my vocal part,' or, 'What about my guitar part.' Vicky lived with me, basically for the period that we wrote and recorded the album. "So the songs ended up coming across like one piece of art, rather than different parts glued together."
