The Agonist - Lullabies for the Dormant Mind (2009)


Lullabies for a Dormant Mind may be the most manic metalcore/melodic death metal-crossover I've ever heard, thanks in eminent part to the performance of its absolutely insane vocalist, Alissa White-Gluz. I typed that right -- The Agonist has a female vocalist, and while that usually means one should prepare themselves for overwhelmingly sub-par harsh vocals, I can't repeat myself enough times when I tell you that isn't the case here. There will be never be an ounce of doubt in any hardened (ha) metalhead's ears that the vocalist present here isn't female, but I promise that only means she's doing the other gender some actual, well-needed justice.
