Antagonist is an American metal band from Whittier, California, formed in 1998. Their upcoming full length “Gone is the Light” will be released on June 12, 2020 on Infinite Strength Records, their first album in 10 years. It showcases the signature melodic thrash sound that Antagonist has been perfecting for over 20 years, but also includes influences from their early days as music fans. From classic rock to grunge to punk, Antagonist pay homage to the genres that made them who they are today, while still doing what they do best: groovy metalcore with soaring leads, socio-political themes, and a DIY ethic.
