Antagonist signs Recording Agreement with Prosthetic Records

All of us in the Hothouse Rehearsal Community are very proud of and thrilled for Carlos, Mat, Paul and Lond of the band Antagonist. They just signed to Prosthetic Records. Hip Hip Hurray!!

Prosthetic Records is home to bands like, Lamb of God, Through The Eyes of The Dead, All That Remains, Gojira, Beneath The Massacre and Light This City. These are bands that I’ve heard the guys talk about and look up to for sometime and now for them to be part of the same awesome roster of artists on Prosthetic is quiet and honor for them.





Below is the official Press Release from Prosthetic Records.

Prosthetic Records signs Southern California's ANTAGONIST

Prosthetic Records is pleased to announce the signing of Southern California metal band ANTAGONIST. Earning their keep in the local and national scene since 1998, and with two prior full-lengths to their credit, ANTAGONIST has already logged time hit the road with the likes of Light This City, The Faceless, Winds of Plague, Silent Civilian, and fellow SoCal metallers The Funeral Pyre, among others.

The band's Prosthetic Records debut, set to be titled 'Exist,' will be produced by Fred Archambault (Avenged Sevenfold, The Confession, Deftones), and is the follow-up to 'An Envy of Innocence,' which saw a 2006 release via Dwell Records. Tentatively slated for a summer 2008 release, 'Exist' will be recorded starting March 1st. "We're very happy and excited to finally announce our signing with Prosthetic!" guitarist/vocalist Carlos Garcia says. "These guys have treated us like family since day one and they really believe in the music we're making. We're all very anxious to enter the studio and even more pumped to get out on the road and play all the new shit for everyone." In addition, the band has issued a video statement in reaction to the deal here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roozXijOlHM).

Live Rehearsal footage of ANTAGONIST playing clips from some of their new material, as well as prior material and live footage can be seen on the band's YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/Antagonistmetal) and on the band's official MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/antagonist). ANTAGONIST plans on touring heavily after the recording of 'Exist,' and details on venues and cities will be available shortly.

"Though thrash has been back on the agenda these past few years, its latest exponents have rarely opted for the reined-in virtuosity of the vintage Bay Area sound, let alone transcended it. Southern Californian thrash quartet Antagonist occupy precisely this space." - Decibel magazine

"...An Envy Of Innocence is the result of serious hard work and determination, as these Whittier, California guys lash out aggressively in their bid to establish themselves as group who is worthy of attention, and support, no matter what conservative local political obstacles stand in their way." - Metal Review.com

"...their guitar work alone is resplendent and the solos are next to amazing." - Skyline Press

Why are bands using Hothouse Rehearsal? Here’s what they’re telling us. “The equipment always works”. “Has the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a rehearsal studio”. “The staff is super attentive.” “Best sounding and maintained rehearsal rooms.” But mostly they say it’s because the “Hothouse cares about the artist and their rehearsal”. You owe it to your band to come tour the hothouse facility and find out for yourself.
