Antithesis : That's also a secret hahaha
Demi : What lyrical theme are you using?

Demi : How do you feel about the local metalscene lately?
Antithesis : Very nice, a lot of young and dangerous bands coming from all over the Indonesia. may only be further unknown. But no need to be hesitate about the Indonesian metalscene, some people from other countries even mention Indonesia as "Land of death metal"
Demi : In the past 3 years, many local metal bands started popping up, do you feel rivaled?
Antithesis : Feel rivaled? enough to compete in a healthy way, by not dropping each other. I think it would eliminate the feeling of rivaled hehe.
Demi : What's the most important for your band? Produce more merch or record more songs?
Antithesis : Both are important. However, it should still be a balance.
Demi : How is the metalscene near your living area?
Antithesis : We are Antithesis from South Tangerang. We feel quite satisfied with the metal-scene where we stayed now. Just maybe still a lot to learn for those who do not really understand the underground, majority of metalheads and bands here already close enough to embrace one another, just lacking in knowledge for those who are new in the world of metal.
Demi : Do you feel the current Antithesis formation is solid?
Antithesis : Hopefully the universe always bless us, so that we can always solid until the end of time hehe
Demi : Do you and the other Antithesis's members have another activity?
Antithesis : Some of us is working and some of us also are still in college.
Demi : What's your hope for the local scene?
Antithesis : Our hope is that more and more young dangerous bands to continue the trail of Indonesian metal's Godfathers, and I'm sure there will be a regenerated. And hopefully the Indonesian scane be better than before, Keep your spirit alive! And good luck always to ISZ, the universe bless us! #Respect #Sungkem #Hell #Proud
