About AGNOSTIC FRONT: Founded in 1982, AGNOSTIC FRONT stand among the most esteemed pioneers of the hardcore genre. No band comes close in sonic and socio authenticity and sincerity, where the struggles of survival on the streets have quite literally given life to a sound that remains as impactful today as it was over four decades ago. AGNOSTIC FRONT‘s battering, socially critical sounds serve as the foundation of true New York hardcore and helped initiate the emergence of crossover thrash. Following a slew of pummeling offerings, the band, led by the inimitable roar of Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma’s legendary charismatic guitar playing, continue to showcase unapologetically honest lyrics and signature aggression in Echoes in Eternity.
NYC’s hardcore pioneers AGNOSTIC FRONT have released the official video for “Divided”, taken from the band’s latest album Echoes in Eternity released in 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music. The music video arrives as AGNOSTIC FRONT prepare to embark on an epic summer tour across Europe. The second leg of their summer dates kicks off in Töging am Inn, Germany, on July 25th.
Vocalist Roger Miret shares the concept behind “Divided”, “‘Divided’ confronts the rise of extremist ideology and the willingness to follow false promises even when the human cost is obvious. At its core, it’s a call to recognize our shared humanity before we’re pushed so far apart that we can no longer find our way back together.”
AGNOSTIC FRONT‘s extensive tour dates see the band continue their long-established legacy across live venues and festival stages alike. Bringing authentic raw aggression and honesty, AGNOSTIC FRONT remain an important voice across punk and hardcore refusing to compromise on their sound and message.

NYC’s legendary hardcore pioneers AGNOSTIC FRONT have released the official lyric video for “You Say”, off of their latest album, Echoes In Eternity. Ferocious and energetic, the song captures the band’s trademark spirit of defiance in the face of hypocrisy. Powerful gang vocals drive this anthem of revolt, underpinned by charging guitars and thundering drums. The message is clear: AGNOSTIC FRONT refuses to cave to the injustices that plague modern society.
Vocalist Roger Miret comments:
“‘YOU SAY’ is a war cry against the normalization of corruption and empty promises. Whether it be governments, corporations, or straight up con artists, they all have the same interests…. Their own! Our message has always been and will be ‘F**K YOU’ to these entities, and to hold them accountable.”
AGNOSTIC FRONT has also announced the highly-anticipated European leg of their “Echoes In Eternity” Tour, with dates in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, France, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Belgium. The tour features special guests WISDOM IN CHAINS and RAW BRIGADE.
With decades of influence on the global hardcore scene, AGNOSTIC FRONT continue to uphold their legacy as one of the most vital and uncompromising voices in punk music. Echoes in Eternity reaffirms their status as cultural torchbearers, channeling the same spirit that sparked from New York’s Lower East Side to inspire generations worldwide.

“In this song, we celebrate the gathering of friends, families and the joyous times when we all looked forward to our Sunday Matinee. Specifically, the days gone of the ‘classic’ CBGB Sunday line ups, where we made lifelong bonds with show attendees and all the visiting Hardcore/Punk bands! Basically, true social media at its finest!”
Echoes in Eternity captures AGNOSTIC FRONT’s trademark energy: a fusion of raw aggression and unflinching honesty. From explosive riffs to socially charged lyrics, the album is both a reflection and a rallying cry for a world still fighting for unity, justice, and authenticity.

New York City offers a world of collisions of cultures, sounds, and attitudes; and the latest scorching offering from the city’s underground veins proves that this legacy lives on. Hardcore legends AGNOSTIC FRONT have teamed up with Darryl “DMC” McDaniels of RUN-DMC for a new single and music video, “Matter Of Life & Death”, to reignite the flames of New York hardcore.
On “Matter Of Life & Death”, AGNOSTIC FRONT and DMC prove that they have far more to offer than mere nostalgia. In a refreshingly modern take on genre-blending, the single charges into a snarling street fight between hardcore punk and old-school hip-hop swagger. Blasting out with razor-sharp riffs, thunderous beats, and DMC’s unmistakable cadence, the music hits harder than a Queens-bound freight train. Producer and New York Hardcore stalwart Mike Dijan keeps the sound raw and relentless, while director Blake Farber turns the video into a non-stop adrenaline reel. With mosh pits meeting boom boxes, fists in the air, and sweat flying off the walls, it’s New York grit distilled into less than 3 minutes of pure energy.
In an era of overproduced and predictable genre mash-ups, “Matter of Life & Death” feels alive, dangerous, and necessary. AGNOSTIC FRONT and DMC are the perfect unlikely pairing: two giants from different musical worlds finding common ground in aggression, defiance, and their New York roots.
And this is just the 2nd shot fired, leading into AGNOSTIC FRONT‘s highly-anticipated upcoming album, Echoes in Eternity, dropping November 7th via Reigning Phoenix Music. If you needed a reminder that the spirit of crossover still has teeth, this is it. Pre-order the album here: https://agnosticfront.rpm.link/echoesPR

About AGNOSTIC FRONT:
Founded in 1982, AGNOSTIC FRONT stand among the most esteemed pioneers of the hardcore genre. No band comes close in sonic and socio authenticity, where the struggles of survival on the streets have literally given life to a sound that remains as impactful today as it was over four decades ago. Their battering, socially critical anthems laid the foundation for true New York hardcore and fuelled the rise of crossover thrash.
After a brief disbandment in the early ’90s, the band roared back in 1998 with “Something’s Gotta Give,” launching a renewed era of relentless touring and crushing albums. Led by the inimitable roar of vocalist Roger Miret and the charismatic, razor-sharp guitar work of Vinnie Stigma, AGNOSTIC FRONT have released a slew of hard-hitting records, culminating in their acclaimed 2019 album “Get Loud!” – a reminder of their enduring relevance and uncompromising spirit.
In 2025, AGNOSTIC FRONT signed with rising metal label Reigning Phoenix Music.“We are excited to announce that we have officially joined the Reigning Phoenix Music family! Excited to work with new and some familiar faces in the team for our new release “Echoes In Eternity,” this coming November! Let’s celebrate in making this collaboration a force to be reckoned with!” says Miret. RPM co-founder Gerardo Martinez adds, “Having worked with Roger and the guys for two decades, this makes it that much more special. Here’s to many more years of killer music!”
Through line-up changes, industry shifts, and a changing world, AGNOSTIC FRONT have remained steadfast: unyielding in sound, spirit, and message. “Echoes In Eternity” proves that after 40+ years, they’re not slowing down. If anything, they’re louder, harder, and more vital than ever.
NYC’s legendary pioneers, AGNOSTIC FRONT, are set to unveil the unapologetically fierce new album Echoes in Eternity. The band’sestablished sound remains best known for their pure adrenaline fuelled riffs, unrelenting energy and outspoken critique on social corruption. “Way of War” is the first single to land ahead of this forthcoming onslaught; Echoes in Eternity is set to arrive in its full thunderous form on November 7, 2025, via Reigning Phoenix Music. The album pre-sale has just started at: https://agnosticfront.rpm.link/echoes
“Echoes In Eternity” is a raging, 15-track assault that blends blistering hardcore punk with hard-earned wisdom. The album includes the politically charged ‘Way Of War’, the unifying pit anthem ‘Turn Up The Volume,’ and ‘Matter Of Life & Death,’ a crossover explosion featuring hip-hop legend Darryl “DMC” McDaniels. Lyrically, the band tackles war, betrayal, oppression, personal struggle, and defiance with unflinching honesty.
The band comments on “Way of War”: “The track is very much a sign of the times! How the corrupt politician’s greed pulls us and many other nations into senseless wars. These actions unfortunately come with casualties that civilians never call for. It’s the way of war.”
AGNOSTIC FRONT hold nothing back. In “Way of War”, the forthcoming album’s opener, a relentless storm of driving rhythms and aggressive vocal chants awaits. It’s an abrasive and raucous display of power against injustice.
