Antagony was an American extreme metal band from the Bay Area of California, formed in 1999 and disbanded in 2009. They are known for being the founders of deathcore.〔(''No Clean Singing'' - ANTAGONY – Why you need to know this band… )〕 Antagony has released three albums, each on a different record label. Members of Antagony have gone on to form bands such as Oblivion, All Shall Perish. ==History== Antagony formed in 1999 amongst the ashes of the crust punk band Y.F.H.〔(''Metal Archives'' - Antagony (USA) )〕 Founding members Nick Vasallo, Carlos Saldana, Ben Orum, and Jody Handy combined elements from disparate forms of extreme music: grindcore, hardcore, death metal, tribal drumming and doom into one sonic experience. They showcased their eclectic mix of styles in their first release, an EP entitled ''Expect the Worst'',〔("Antagony (USA) - Expect the Worst" )〕 and followed it with their first US tour. With a new drummer (Justin Hughes), their first album, ''See Through These Eyes'',〔("Antagony (USA) - See Through These Eyes" )〕 released in 2001, further refined their style. Soon after, Antagony became one of the premier extreme metal groups in the Bay Area underground〔("Painfest II - Day Two" ), Mario Perotti. December 8, 2001.〕 performing with such acts as Malevolent Creation, Incantation, Excruciating Terror, Pig Destroyer, Grimple, Dystopia, Capitalist Casualties, Cephalic Carnage, Brujeria, Vital Remains, Cattle Decapitation, Intronaut, Disgorge, Exhumed, Obituary, As I Lay Dying, and Monstrosity.〔() "Search ''Antagony'' under archives〕 After their Triangle of Hate Tour U.S.A. 2001, with supporting acts End of All and Boof, Antagony fell into a period of inactivity with all of their members directing their energies into other projects.〔("News History" )〕 By the time Antagony resurfaced with a new lineup (Kyle Anderson, Christian Mitchell and Carlos Saldana replacing Ben Orum, Bray Almini, and Caysen Russo),〔("All Shall Perish profile" )〕 Antagony strived to catch up on time away from the evolving metal scene. Antagony finally released the long-awaited ''Rebirth'' in 2005, combining material they had written since 2001. Although well received by fans and critics,〔("Antagony - Rebirth" ) by Dave Pirtle〕 it was a record that should have been released two years before.〔 With their next album, "Days of Night", Antagony wished to shed their previous attempt at appeasing the audience.〔("Antagony - Days of Night" ) by Erik Thomas〕 This was to be their most eclectic recording to date. The album required use of cellos, broken pianos, choirs, different simultaneous metronome markings, and several layers of overdubbing. Musically, this album was a lot more "classically" structured as well; previously Antagony depended on the use of constant sectional changes to catch listeners off guard.〔("Antagony - See Through These Eyes" ) August 27, 2001〕 This proved especially effective when performing live and this variation form they put into their early sound definitely influenced their peers. Justin parted ways with Antagony during the recording of the album, but performs on three of the tracks ("The Truth Will Be Known", "Exhale Her Poison", and "Voyage"). Antagony parted ways in 2009 after 10 years of existence. Founding members Nick Vasallo and Ben Orum joined forces again to form the death metal band Oblivion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antagony」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
