Antisect are a rock band based in London, UK. Their roots are in hardcore/anarcho punk and metal.
Formed in 1982 in Daventry, Northamptonshire, UK, their debut album, In Darkness There is No Choice, was released in 1983. 1985's follow up EP, "Out From The Void" has often been cited as a game changer amongst their genre for fusing a raw punk rock style with elements of metal.
Antisect are a significant band in the timeline of hardcore punk music, said to have been a major influence upon "black-clad, politically charged punks over the last 30 years".
The band address issues including animal rights and social justice, communicating their ideas to a largely punk rock audience, and were among the instigators of the squat venue scene in the mid to late 1980s. During this time members lived the lifestyle of being either on the road or part of the vibrant London squat scene of the time. They toured extensively both in the UK and Europe and though originally splitting up in 1987, the band reformed in May 2011.
Antisect were formed in Daventry, UK in 1982 and began their career playing a fast, D-beat style of hardcore punk. They performed one tour with the hugely influential hardcore punk band Discharge before taking on a more anarchist leaning political edge. The bands debut LP In Darkness There is No Choice, was released in 1983 on Flux Of Pink Indians' Spiderleg Records label and reached number 4 in the UK Indie Chart. It is now widely considered to be a "classic" of its genre. This was followed in 1985 by the release of the 7" single, Out from the Void, which reached number 2 in the Indie singles chart and, along with Amebix's 1985 Arise! album, is considered the starting point of the crust punk genre.
