ANTAGONIST A.D
We Are The Dead

The brand new album
Available October 6th 2008 in NZ & Australia

New Zealand hardcore heavyweights Antagonist is back with new album: We Are The Dead and new name: Antagonist A.D.

ElevenfiftySeven is proud to be releasing the brand new full length album We Are The Dead on the 6th of October in both New Zealand and Australia via Melbourne label Trial & Error. This sophomore album follows 2006s’ celebrated release ‘These Cities, Our Graves’.

Antagonist A.D formed in late 2004 but after trading members & gaining direction a new redux saw the light the following year. 2005 was a dark year for New Zealand hardcore with prominent bands breaking up, crucial venues being lost & key promoters bowing out. Antagonist A.D pushed on and quickly made a name for themselves as an extremely hardworking band and breathing new life into the local hardcore scene.

Antagonist A.D’s music and message could be described as 'Modern hardcore with old school ethics'. It's raw metal core at its purest and sincerest. Not watered down or compromised in anyway Antagonist A.D delivers the frantic intensity of hardcore, while utilizing a heavier edge. Lyrically the band speaks of topics ranging from social & political commentary to the brutally honest self-retrospect and analysis. Simply Antagonist A.D words are full of venom, conviction & passion.

The band have toured New Zealand consistently playing along side such international bands as Hatebreed, Madball, Agnostic Front, Unearth, Comeback Kid, Throwdown and more, and local groups The Bleeders and Blindspott among others! They have played NZ's biggest music festival – Big Day Out 2008 playing the MAIN STAGE, as well as being the MAIN SUPPORT of 2007's Taste Of Chaos, they have headlined local hardcore festivals Killerfest ’07 (co headline with Parkway Drive) & '08 (co headline with Bleeding Through) as well as Hamtown Smackdown '06/'07 & '08. Antagonist A.D have traveled to Australia 6 times, touring with locals and internationals including Most Precious Blood, Have Heart, Parkway Drive and Carpathian.
