Hidden Gems & Guilty Pleasures: Antagonizör (USA)
Antagonizör (Heavy Metal / Punk, USA)
Antagonizör is an old-school heavy metal/punk ‘n’ roll trio hailing from Gainesville, Florida.
From the southern cesspool comes Antagonizör – a trio of metalpunk maniacs made up of Sarah (guitar/vocals) Tzu Wei (bass), and Mykel the Drum Slave (Hot Graves, Plasmodulated, Wharflurch, Liminal Erosion) on drums!
After a handful of filth-fueled EPs, the band has finally released their first full-length album entitled »Edgelords From Hell«! Featuring a barrage of classic heavy metal riffs, unfaltering punk rock rhythms, and more “Fuck You” attitude than is healthy this release will hit your eardrums like a demon on a joyride! Ready or not, Antagonizör is here and they’re out for blood – and any kind of profane fun they can get into!
Antagonizör’s debut album »Edgelords From Hell« was released independently on February 28th, 2025 and reissued on May 9th, 2025 through Morbid And Miserable Records / Ironbound Records.
Guitars, vocals, and bass recorded by Mykel Colby.
