After selling out their first two return shows, and following that up with an entire Australian run with Thy Art Is Murder, Oceanic hardcore outfit Antagonist AD are proving they’re here to stay as they announce their own headlining run across Australia with up and comers Honest Crooks and Caged Existence.
The most recent addition to the Greyscale Records line up, Antagonist AD came out swinging earlier this year with their first single No Justice, and followed it up most recently with their call to arms A.P.M.D. Of the latest single, vocalist Sam Crocker holds nothing back. “Humans are a cancer to the planet. A.P.M.D. is how our society is built upon shaky foundations – set up for failure. It’s an angry metal song with beatdowns and a hardcore mind.”
Honest Crooks have quickly made a name for themselves as one of Australia’s hardest working bands and have the stats to back it up. Since the release of 2017’s “Suffer, the band have torn their way across every state and territory, narrowly missing NT, as they line up for lap number 4 of the last 12 months. The seamless blend of death metal riffs, with crushing breakdowns and violent pit calls, makes for a live show enjoyable to fans of mosh and metal alike.
Caged Existence’s debut EP titled The Body Prison was released in May of 2018; drawing influence from abrasive ‘90s metalcore, as well as chaotic hardcore bands, blended with a modernised sound. Featuring members of Imprisoned and Internal Nightmare, and with the larger than life vocals of Steffanie Adele, Caged Existence have imprinted themselves as the band to watch in the Australian hardcore scene.
