Florida’s underground metal scene just got a lot filthier with their latest full-length album from Antagonizör, Edgelords from Hell. Released on February 28, 2025, this Gainesville-based trio delivers a raw, no-frills assault blending black metal, punk, thrash, and Motörhead-style grit into one furious package. With Sarah on guitar and vocals, Tzu Wei on bass, and Mykel behind the kit, the band churns out a mix of speed-driven and mid-paced tracks, with a touch of d-beat for extra punch.
A Sound That Burns and Blasts
The album rips open with “In the Still of the Night”, a haunting, thrash-infused intro before diving headfirst into “Obsessed by Evil”, a blistering anthem of fury. Tracks like “Midnight Racer” and “Speed Demon’s Spell” crank up the velocity, while “Smoke Grass Eat Ass” and “Hands Off” lean into a punked-up, street-metal sneer. “Invocation” brings eerie, ritualistic energy, leading into “Antichrist”, one of the album’s most menacing cuts. A surprise instrumental nod to Sabbath’s “Symptom of the Universe” keeps things interesting before the closing title track, “Edgelords from Hell”, cements the album’s chaotic, misanthropic mission statement.
Rage-Soaked Lyrics and Unapologetic Themes
Lyrically, Antagonizör doesn’t hold back. The album takes aim at misogyny, law enforcement, and religious oppression, channeling its venom through snarling vocals and scorching guitar work. The anti-authoritarian streak runs deep, making this as much a statement as it is a relentless musical onslaught.
This album is not for the faint of heart, but if you want your black metal with a punk snarl and thrash-fueled chaos, Edgelords from Hell delivers in spades! You can pick up your own copy right here.

Morbid Mario
Morbid Mario’s metal journey began at age 12 in 1982 with AC/DC as his gateway band. He quickly graduated to heavier acts like Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motörhead, and Saxon. Soon, he was a metal tyrant, buying albums based solely on their cover art and diving into bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Dark Angel. Now, with over 40 years of metal under his belt, Morbid Mario continues to attend shows, travel to festivals, and support bands that meet his uncompromising, elitist standards.
