Attention metal fans ... do you enjoy piercing guitar solos, crashing drums, and vocals that go from gutteral growling to operatic beauty? Yeah, I thought so. If you're not already familiar, now is the time to check out the female fronted Canadian metal quintet, The Agonist.

With no signs of slowing down, The Agonist has gained recognition (and quite the following) with every release, and their single "Business Suits and Combat Boots," even won Viewer's Choice honors on Headbanger's Ball. Not only does The Agonist score points in the metal scene, but they score points with us too. Vegetarian since birth and vegan for 10 years, vocalist Alissa is no stranger to animal rights. In an interview earlier this year, Alissa discussed vegetarianism, videos documenting cruelty to animals, and product testing on animals. Knowing this, what better place to debut their new video for "Thank You Pain" than peta2!

Says Alissa, "I am very honored to have peta2 premiere our video. Since PETA fights for a lot of the same things I do in my songs, it's great to be able to partner up again. I look forward to working with them on future campaigns as well. They are perceived as a daring organization that pushes the boundaries in order to expose what people normally turn a blind eye to. We have noticed that a lot of our fans are extremely intelligent, interesting people so we think they will be excited about this video debut as well."

The Agonist and peta2, a perfect match? I think so. Check out the band's amazing video for "Thank You Pain" below ...
