Antagonist A.D. are a justice-minded hardcore band. Formed in Auckland in 2005 the group's brutal, metallic sound features lyrics about issues such as veganism and women's rights. They've built up a strong fan base through worldwide touring, sharing stages throughout Asia, the Pacific Islands, Europe, and North America with bands like Parkway Drive, the Ghost Inside, and Emmure.

The new album, 'Through Fire All Things Are Renewed', was recorded at God Sound Studios in Salem, Massachusetts, alongside the legendary Kurt Ballou (guitarist of Converge). It is the culmination of years of planning and the final in a three-part arch of EPs "Through Fire", "All Things", and "Are Renewed".
