The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia

Antagonizör‘s album Edgelords from Hell is a thrilling and blood-pumping fusion of untamed energy and a defiant spirit. This is the kind of record that begs to be blasted at full volume on a Sunday! The band serves up a powerful concoction of traditional heavy metal, punk rock, and genuine rock and roll. I have a personal affinity for music that feels raw and unpolished, radiating a vibe of rebellion and character. It’s fiercely daring, bare-bones, and heavy, and Antagonizör has truly nailed it.

Simultaneously, I might be veering off course with this band and their album, yet I can’t help but feel the strong influence of the aforementioned groups. It seems to me that there’s a distinct sound and vibe reminiscent of Wendy O’ Williams‘ 1984 debut album, WOW. Furthermore, Warlock’s 1984 release, Burning the Witches, features a track of the same name, alongside the legendary Judas Priest’s 80s classic, British Steel. Particularly, their hit, Breaking the Law.
