Formed
in São Paulo, São Paulo - 1994. The band Antidemon began in January
12, 1994, in São Paulo (SP - Brasi) mixing the sound extreme and brutal Death
Grind with HC. In the first months the group had five members, but then it
stabilized and now it's Batista (Lead Vocals and Bass), Juliana Batista (Drums)
and Maurice Cebalho (Guitar and backing vocals). In 1995 came the first self
titled demo tape "Antidemon" Collection and "Refuge Rock"
still on vinyl, with ten bands which was a great achievement. In 1997, then
came the work that would make the band's name beyond the borders of the
country, demotape "Eternal Confinement" there was an acceptance and a
best-selling historical surpreendendente. At that time the Antidemon became
evident by the number of shows that could make the four corners of the country!
A volume of presentations out of the ordinary for a band of this style. In 1998
came another demotape "Antidemon 04 Years" and that accelerated the
coming debut CD, "Demonicídio" released in September 1999, and really
just got this CD of 27 tracks would become a classic style! The media and the
audience raised their hands to elect this work and finally put the band in
place longer than expected: Among the most loved and recognized in Brazil! The
song "Demonocídio" has been reissued in two collections in the United
States: "Records Lanceration and Cross Ritmys Music." Besides being
distributed worldwide, labels like Nordic Mission (Norway) Christian Metal
(Portugal) and Litle Rose (Finland) were placed as official distributors of the
band! In Brazil the CD "Demonocídio" would still be revived with some
songs on two compilations of Rotthenness Records: "Noise for Deaf Vol
III" and "Noise for Deaf Vol. BH still came, "Brazil
Colection" (National Coletânea.) and split "Barad" and the
controversial Antidemon with Zen Garden. Which was released and distributed by
Rcords Destroyer. The doors kept opening. The many gigs continued and
increasingly crowded. Brazil was conquered in all regions! Until the unexpected
from Santarem on the Amazon and Tapajós were setting the fury of the trio. A
legion of people who admired the music, the attitude and ideology of the band!
People who became a family! In connection with appearances in parts of the cd
"Demonocídio," the band was asked to put a track on the cd's Booklet
"Revista Trip" Number 91. It was incredible. The chosen song was
"Travel" and due to the thousands of copies sold has become something
highly important to the band, let alone the 06 pages of juicy magazine that
told the story of Antidemon. In March 2002 the Antidemon would leave the
country for the first time! ... Mexico. The "Mexican Demonocídio Tour 2002." 10 concerts were
fantastic: Tlalnepantla (Mexico DF), Chalco, Orizaba, Puebla, Oaxaca, Ciudad de
Mexico, Toluca, Acambaro, Guadalajara and Leon! Thirty-two
days where the Mexicans were in love with the band! It was full and
unconditional acceptance! The most surprising thing was coming, burning a CD in
Spanish in just four days! It seemed impossible but the work began! Struggle
and effort and the CD was created, was born in Mexico "Anillo de Fuego. Do
not expect that great acceptance in Brazil! Seem unfavorable situations, such
as language and little time to write that would have yielded a lower quality
than the other cd "Demonocídio. But the CD was released and it was
incredible the acceptance! The comments of the media were fantastic and new
doors were being opened! Then began a remarkable dissemination of new work by
Spanish-speaking countries. In February 2003, was the third edition of the
Brazil Metal Union. " This festival is the result of a poll across the
country to choose the 10 best national bands! And surprisingly there was the
Antidemon! It was a historical presentation on the Lay Led's massive acceptance
with the public! The media was stirred again and again Antidemon figured in
numerous communications media! "Anillo del Fuego", written in
Castilian in Mexico was offered first-hand in BMU 2003. Baptist passed messages
at the end of each song, making a lot of people stop to think about their words,
and very much applauded by them and by sonzeira, sending various sounds of the
first album "Demonocídio" as "Suicide," "Eternal
Confinement" and "User", a song from the third demo tape to
celebrate the four years of the band, "Deep Deep", plus songs from
the new album, like "Insane Convicts" which opened the presentation,
"Apodrelupe" and "Pervis del Infierno and closing the show with
the music of the second demo-tape called "Massacre." In March 2003,
the band was again breaking the country's borders: Argentina. They were 18 days
in the country, an intense and unprecedented participation in the press radio!
And three magnificent concerts: In El Borde Temperley in, Zona Sur Burzaco and
an unusual colony of Russians and Ukrainians in Buenos Aires. The Argentines
did not really want to leave the band returned to Brazil, given the affection
and affinity purchased! sung in Cd Spanish gave so wonderful fruits and
welcome. Back in Brazil the biggest news regarding this CD: The indication for
the "Premio Dinamyte" and because of this "Anillo de Fuego"
was already among the 10 best metal in the country! few more days and realized
that the count was over 60,000 and more would come as a surprise: the album
recorded in four days ended up in second place with a minimal difference of 5%
from the first position. And things do not stop there! Even in 2003 after the
tour of the Northeast (Recife and João Pessoa) and north of the country
(Santarém) and the expected presentation in Brasília (DF) and Florianópolis
(SC). In August 2003 the Antidemon part to a major achievement in its history :
Europe! Germany, Britain, Spain and Portugal. And the stunt began with four
great shows in Germany! And right away the big performance at the festival
"Freack Stock" in the city of Gotha, with 04 days in length and over
60 bands around the world, between itself Sinai Beach (USA), Noiz, Sacrificium,
Lampshade (DK) Today and Forever. The public in this edition of "Stock
Freack" was more than seven thousand people! Even in the eastern German and
in the currencies with the Czech Republic and Poland Antidemon performed in the
towns of Zittau and Johanngeogenstadt beside the Norwegian band Drottnar who
also was touring the country. The last concert took place in the German lands
on the other end of Germany in the town of Ennepetal, scoring very well hit the
heart of the Germans, who largely consumed in these four shows, the entire
stock of CDs that the band had brought in their luggage. England seemed
impenetrable, but it could not happen best opportunity ... "III
Destruction Fest." The Festival was held in fantastic house in London
"The Under World" and the band performed alongside big names in the
scene like Extol and frosthardr Norwegian hosts and Blood Work. Antidemon Incredibly
the face of this presentation has received a great highlight of the English
magazine Kerrang which covered the two days of the festival, besides an
incredible receptivity demanding British public. The Iberian peninsula was the
next target, and the attack was initiated by Spain. Antidemon The marked so the
history being the first Christian metal band to perform in that country that
never once route had been in bands with that ideology! It would not be an easy
task but it was undoubtedly a stirring achievement! "La Caja de Pandora"
in the city of Palencia, opened its doors for the band's first show in the
country and went to Rato Raro side of the band that it happened. It was simply
unforgettable warmth of the Spanish public! Just north of the country to

presence from the public received beyond the bands Portuguese Antidemon The
Howling Bleeding and Display, which would together with the three presentations

underground house, the Anoeta! These two shows had an incredible impact in the
local press where more than 05 Newspapers reported the band's concert, with

end the European flurry of presentations Antidemon was invited to perform two
shows in Portugal, and beside the city of Oporto, Vila Nova de Gaia happen the
"Gaia Metal Fest III" which also had a strong presence of German band
T-Bone and six other Portuguese groups. The Antidemon had the honorable task of
closing the event and was very well received! Someday then the band would get
cozy Lisbon and in the town next door, in Loures would set the stage for the
"I Loures Under Fest!" With a structure of light and sound to impress
and being with people for almost ten years follow the band work even across the
Atlantic, actually scored much success with this closing concert of this grand
European tour. gigantic doors had been broken definitively to Antidemon and
