Music News - Antagonist A.D Sign to UNFD and Announce Album Details
19 February 2015 - 0 Comments
UNFD are proud to announce their newest
signing to the label, New Zealand's Antagonist A.D. The band will
release their fourth album and UNFD debut Haunt Me As I Roam on March
27.
Last night, the first single from Haunt Me As I Roam - For
Anyone Who Hurts - was premiered on Triple J's Short Fast Loud, and today
the band has launched their incredible video for the track.
Antagonist A.D are used to doing things the tough way, and Haunt Me As I Roam is a perfect demonstration of the hardships they've faced and
subsequently overcome.
While they're used to forging their own
path - New Zealand might be a beautiful place but as one of the most isolated
countries in the world it's a nightmare for hardcore bands who want to take
their message worldwide - Haunt Me As I Roam breaks new ground for Antagonist
A.D.
The cast willing to line up and throw their weight behind Antagonist A.D stands as an impressive justification for such hardship. Architects' Sam
Carter, The Amity Affliction's Ahren Stringer, Deez Nuts' JJ
Peters and Comeback Kid's Andrew Neufeld all contribute vocals to Haunt Me As I Roam, with former Amity guitarist Troy Brady, The
Ghost Inside's Aaron Brooks and acclaimed producer Will Putney all
working behind the desk. And with the bar raised accordingly high, vocalist Sam
Crocker had to step up.
"It was hard. It was torture,” he says. “Never have I written
lyrics that are so revealing and confronting to myself. Every hour recording
was an hour facing my demons and re-living loss in every emotional sense of the
word.
"Topics I deemed too personal have been covered on Haunt Me As I Roam,” Crocker continues. “This band is and forever shall be a cathartic release
for me. It's where I can be empowered by the music to get through anything. I'd
like to think this new record will help a lot of people connect with issues
they perhaps were just struggling with on their own."
