Founded in 1982, AGNOSTIC FRONT stands 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 fueled 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!”
Echoes In Eternity is a raging, 14-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.
Through lineup 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.
