A dark and dangerous expedition into the defiant and apocalyptic corners of bass music, ANTAGONÏZER’s debut EP is as conceptual as it is unconventional. Driven by a primal aesthetic and tales of power, domination, and survival, OMNIVIOLENCE analyzes the disorder and anarcharial nature entangled within the natural human psyche. Twisting and turning through rebellious sonic landscapes, the EP is a combination of Crywolf’s raw, poetically ruthless lyricism and AWAY’s daringly brutal production. A collection of six originals that span from spine-tingling to hair-raising, OMNIVIOLENCE goes beyond the usual edges of electronic music to expose ANTAGONÏZER’s complex and nonconformist underbelly.
“OMNIVIOLENCE is raw energy and instinct transformed into sound. Living in the most abyssal recesses of the mind, this EP isn’t just music — it’s an exploration, a confrontation with the primal drives we often bury. Each track delves into the raw chaos and brutal truths that punctuate our existence. With OMNIVIOLENCE, we embrace the tempest within, unapologetically and unfiltered.” – ANTAGONÏZER
Both known as boundary-pushing and uncompromising artists in their own right, collaborators Crywolf and AWAY have already firmly cemented their places as two of electronic music’s most innovative and exciting artists, with over 330 million total combined streams, dozens of chart topping releases under their belts and ravenously loyal followings. The combination of their talents across three previous collaborations has resonated with listeners in uniquely potent ways, with each track skyrocketing into multi-millions of streams and becoming fan favorites almost immediately upon release. After recognizing the natural artistic synergy between them and seeing such intense support, forming their collaborative ANTAGONÏZER project was a no-brainer.
Crywolf, aka Justin Taylor Phillips, is a producer, vocalist, and multi instrumentalist from Los Angeles, CA. One of the first pioneers of the “Post-EDM” movement, his intimate, melodic, avant¬garde releases have garnered their own unique following, with a loyalty rarely seen in the electronic landscape. His releases are no stranger to commercial success either; met with support from international acts such as Ellie Goulding, Skrillex, and more, and covered by major media outlets such as Billboard, Vice, and DJ Magazine. His albums have all charted on iTunes, and many have also secured spots on the Billboard charts, with his first full length Cataclasm topping the Electronic chart for two weeks. With over 250 million plays across online streaming platforms, and a hyper-loyal fanbase that consistently defies expectations, Crywolf has solidified his spot as one of electronic music’s most enduring and compelling artistic talents.
With over 100 million streams, AWAY has established himself as a front runner among independent artists rising from the underground. His unique take on modern electronic bass music blends heartbreaking melodies and emotive songwriting that connects the body and soul, all while exploring the dark shadows of the human psyche. Described as a twisted love child of Flume, Gesaffelstein and Nine Inch Nails, AWAY’s raw, gritty sonic aesthetic is derived from a deeply rooted love of alternative and industrial music. Much like that of his heroes and musical inspirations, AWAY fuses to remain in one lane, abandoning genre classification and limitations with no regard.
