The Agonist (formerly known as The Tempest) is a Canadian Melodic Death Metal/metalcore band from Montreal, characterised by topical lyrics, complex guitar work and a female lead who can sing (well) in both clean and growling vocals.

Their lyrics often consider themes that you might not expect from a death metal band, such as animal rights, social injustice and other contemporary issues.

Their current line-up is:
  • Alissa White-Gluz - Vocals, Lyrics
  • Danny Marino - Guitar
  • Chris Kells - Bass, Background Growls
  • Simon McKay - Drums
  • Pascal "Paco" Jobin - Guitar

Former members include:
  • Andrew Tapley - Guitar
  • Chris Adolph - Guitar on tour (2009)
  • Justin Deguire - Guitar on tour (2011)

So far they have released two studio albums:
  • Once Only Imagined (2007)
  • Lullabies For The Dormant Mind (2009)

And they have music videos for:
