Antagonist A.D

Antagonist A.D. is a New Zealand-based hardcore/metalcore band known for their unrelenting energy and socially charged lyrics. Formed in the early 2000s, they’ve carved a niche in the global hardcore scene with their fusion of crushing breakdowns, melodic undertones, and outspoken messaging tackling systemic oppression, personal struggle, and societal decay. Their recent releases—like *Through Fire All Things Are Renewed* and *No Justice*—showcase their signature blend of aggression and introspection, while tracks such as *The System Is Racist And Oppressive* leave no doubt about their confrontational stance against injustice.

With a reputation for blistering live shows, Antagonist A.D. has built a loyal following through relentless touring and collaborations within the hardcore community. Their cover of Arkangel’s *From Heaven We Fall* nods to their metalcore roots, while albums like *All Things* reinforce their ability to balance raw intensity with thematic depth. Whether calling out corruption or reflecting on inner turmoil, they remain a visceral voice in modern hardcore.
