Vicky Psarakis

Vicky Psarakis (born June 22, 1988) is an American singer, best known as the vocalist of American nu metal band Sicksense. She was the former vocalist of the Canadian heavy metal band The Agonist from 2014 to 2023. In 2021, she launched the band, Sicksense. She has also worked on other projects like E.V.E and Rage of Romance. Psarakis also voices Ada Wong in the asymmetrical horror video game Dead By Daylight.[edit]

Vicky Psarakis commands a dedicated following within the heavy metal community, though her fanbase lacks a singular, formalized collective identity. While specific calls to action like "Join the Swarm" have appeared in relation to solo releases or particular content drops, these function as promotional directives rather than evidence of an established, unified fandom name comparable to broader cultural phenomena. Her supporters are primarily organized through general metal community channels, including Facebook groups such as "Queens of Metal," and various social media platforms where discussions span her tenure with The Agonist and her current work with Sicksense. The lore surrounding her career is defined by her transition from a YouTube cover artist to the lead vocalist of a major Canadian act, replacing Alissa White-Gluz in 2014. A persistent narrative in this mythology involves a 2019 controversy regarding her predecessor, where Psarakis claimed White-Gluz had been attempting to harm the band's legacy, a statement that sparked significant debate before being denied by White-Gluz herself. Her reputation is further cemented by technical prowess often described as "vocal gymnastics" and notable milestones such as providing vocals for the *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* Zombies mode map song "Slave" and voicing Ada Wong in *Dead by Daylight*. The dissolution of The Agonist in May 2023 marked a definitive chapter, leading to her continued output with Sicksense. Despite these achievements and her status as a crossover icon in gaming culture, iFANN's Global Fame Engine has evaluated Vicky Psarakis but she does not currently hold a placement in the published rankings (Global Top 1,000 or a Top-100 scope list).[edit]

Vicky Psarakis is best known as the former vocalist of the Canadian heavy metal band The Agonist, serving from 2014 until the group's dissolution in May 2023. She currently leads the American nu metal band Sicksense, which she launched in 2021, and has contributed to projects including E.V.E and Rage of Romance. Beyond traditional music, she voices Ada Wong in the asymmetrical horror video game *Dead by Daylight*. A central element of her professional legend involves her rapid ascent from a YouTube cover artist to the frontwoman of a major band, a trajectory that included replacing Alissa White-Gluz. Fans frequently retell the story of the 2019 controversy where Psarakis alleged White-Gluz was trying to destroy the band after her departure, an incident that remains a staple of the group's historical discourse. Her vocal capabilities are often highlighted as exceptional, earning her descriptions of "vocal gymnastics" and contributing to The Agonist receiving a Juno nomination in 2020. In a unique cross-media milestone, she performed the song "Slave" for the *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* Zombies mode, creating a track that resonated deeply with both gamers and metal enthusiasts. Recent developments indicate her continued relevance in gaming culture, with features appearing on new songs for the franchise.[edit]
