Vicky joined The Agonist in 2014, following the departure of the band’s original vocalist. Her debut with the band came on the album Eye of Providence (2015), which marked a new chapter in The Agonist’s sound while preserving its core identity rooted in melodic death metal and metalcore. Subsequent albums such as Five and Days Before the World Wept further showcased her range, adaptability, and growing confidence as a frontwoman.

Through these projects, she has demonstrated a willingness to experiment with genre boundaries and explore different vocal textures and emotional approaches.
