Rarely does a band earn the acclaim from their first release to pave the way for their future after being together for only 4 years. Even rarer is it to find a band that can do so with everlasting passion and aggression. With their debut release ‘Keeping Nothing’, Australia’s fastest rising metal band ANTONAMASIA, have done just that.
Earning them billing alongside the biggest metal bands in the country such as the prestigious Metal for the Brain Festival and Metalstock and securing them exclusive supports with bands such as 10 Years (US), Leaves’ Eyes (SWE) and Atrocity (GER), ‘Keeping Nothing’ was received with open arms, rave reviews and 5/5 ratings in Drum Media and Blunt Magazine and on online publications including Sinister.com, dBmagazine.com and Fasterlouder.com.
With each review comes the vindicated spotlight of the band’s goth-iconic frontwoman, 20 year old Cassie Dallas. A vocal force second to none, Dallas delivers dark and intricate stories of love and desperation with a voice of ”sheer damn power”. That which can only be described as a perfect contradiction is the brutally heart-wrenching overtones of the rest of the band. Andrew ‘Baz’ Barrington, Chris King, Rage Carter and Justin 'Shinz' Gonzales pour their easily identifiable brand of epic beauty and power into each story, all of which is transferred to the stage in their frenzied chaos of emotion and energy that constantly leaves crowds entranced and bewildered.
Almost immediately after recording their debut release in January 2006 with 2 time ARIA nominated producer dw Norton (Superheist, Daysend, Vanden), ANTONAMASIA signed with esteemed Metal/Hard Rock label Faultline Records. Helmed by Norton, Faultline Records released a highly anticipated ‘Keeping Nothing’ in October 2006 which quickly elevated the band to towering heights. With immediate attention from Triple J’s Full Metal Racket and online radio stations such as Hard Rock Radio Live, ‘Keeping Nothing’ has seen high rotation since its release. The following month their debut effort saw the band among the top 5 at the 2006 Musicoz Awards when ”Asphyxiation Theory” was nominated in Best Metal/Hardcore category.
After 4 solid years of touring and sharing the stage with the biggest names in Australian metal and their 27 date 2006 Keeping Nothing Tour, ANTONAMASIA have, in a very short time, proven that they possess the talent and undying work ethic that will take them to the top and far beyond.

Группа - полное открытие для меня. Уже пятый студийный альбом, а я о них только узнал. Отменное, свежее звучание. Тот случай, когда с первого трека откладываешь в сторону все другие дела и начинаешь внимательно слушать альбом, получая удовольствие.

Начали за здравие с бодрых Thirst For Tears и All You Wanted
Не соглашусь. "Sailing To The Unknown" прямо очень круто звучит в своей форме, этот переход на даунтемпо деткор в середине - это просто полный ахтунг на мой вкус. И весь сок в том, что этот брейк никак не меняет структуру песни, как это происходило, например, в треке Crown The Empire - Hologram. Это мой любимый пример резкой смены структуры и стиля в треке. Да и если убрать испаноязычные баллады, то получим на выходе очень крепкие 7-8 треков.
Вообще в первую очередь понравилось разнообразие в треках и резкие переходы в металкор/деткор. При этом группа звучит как-то мягко, даже тяжёлые партии со скримом как-то безобидно звучат. Ну и чистый у этого Диего, конечно, очень приятный. Почему-то Ekotren напомнил, особенно, в "Sanctify My Ache".
От меня это первый серьёзный претендент на общий топ года.
