I, THE HUNTER are a Rock and Roll band. Mixing the sound of the music each member grew up with and still loves to this day, with their favourite parts of the modern hard rock scene, I, THE HUNTER are here for the fun of it all, not the glory. Formed by cousins JOHNNY SHOTGUN (ex-THIS SHOTGUN KISS and INANE EMINENCE) and Ryan, now aka RY, THE HUNTER (ex-THIS SHOTGUN KISS) in early 2008, the project started as nothing more than the two writing fast paced 80's influenced rock songs as a bit of fun.

Paul Blackout (Paul Rayner) Paul started going to 'raves' in 1993, and after collecting many recordings of various radio shows, he started buying records, and a little while later, his first set of decks. First he played old school techno and breaks, stuff like early Moving Shadow and Formation, along with Edge Records, Rabbit City, Bonzai etc etc. After hearing Wedlock's "Acid Rain" on Ruffneck, he got the bug for hardcore, and went on to play hardcore techno, such as Ruffneck, Twisted Vinyl, Rotterdam etc until he got into some harder traxx too.

Antagonist is back with a new album and new name: Antagonist A.D.

Antagonist A.D formed in late 2004 but after trading members & gaining direction a new redux saw the light in 2005. 2005 was a dark year for New Zealand hardcore with prominent bands breaking up, crucial venues being lost & key promoters bowing out.
