Frontwoman Vicky Psarakis:
“The story behind “Orphans” was inspired by the novel “We Have Always Lived in the Castle” by Shirley Jackson. It emphasizes the feeling of “not belonging” and the social and physical isolation that comes as a Even though we’ve all felt like outcasts at some point in our lives, it’s important to remember that we’re never truly alone and that there’s always someone there for you. We’re all “Orphans”, but we’re in this life together.”

In recent years, vocalist Vicky Psarakis made headlines by claiming that former The Agonist singer Alissa White-Gluz is actively attempting to block the career for The Agonist. White-Gluz in return says she don’t know why she was fired from the band after she joined Arch Enemy, but also states she has always remained supportive of her old band.
