Antigama Bio

ANTIGAMA is unrestircted by anything and not-falling-into-patterns look at modern avangarda
grindcore and noise. The band was formed in the late 2002 in Warsaw by Sebastian Rokicki

After joining of £ukasz Myszkowski (Sparagmos, IN) and Macio Moretti (Starzy Singers, Ma³y Szu,

which got released by THE FLOOD RECORDS from Itally short after that. Meanwhile ANTIGAMA

In 2002 up to then bassist Macio left the band, and Micha³ known before from REINFECTION

Extreme Festival 2004 in Czech Republic - the biggest extreme music festival in Europe.

ANTIGAMA is controlled and overwhelming chaos.

Originally released a year ago, here is the
second effort of the highly acclaimed Polish
powerhouse, now fully refreshed for a
release on Selfmadegod with two bonus
tracks. "Discomfort" delivers twelve
discordant and chaotic shots full of mind-
bending speed, technicality and savagery. It
proves that vast grindcore made by
ANTIGAMA is unparalleled. Punishing,
shredding super-heavy modern-day sonic
blast with most brutal and sickest vocals,
powerful, precise guitar work and unbelieva-
bly fast and tight drumming stand out from
most of the nowadays grind and metal
bands. This greatly talented, unique quartet
is the undisputed herald of a grind-squad
assassination. Swallow.
