Antidemon

Antidemon was formed on January 12, 1994, with founding members Carlos Batista on vocals, Alexandre Cebotorov on bass, Kleber Albino on guitars, Sergio Gonçalves on guitars, and Elke Garzoli (Batista's wife) on drums. The band issued a demo later that year. After that, Cebotorov and Gonçalves left forcing Batista to become the band's bassist. The band did another demo in 1997 and a third in 1998. The band's debut album, Demonocídio was self-released in 1999. The band then split an EP with the band Zen Garden, entitled Barad. In March 2002, Antidemon began their first tour outside of Brazil, in Mexico, on the Demonocídio Mexican Tour. Their sophomore album, Anillo de fuego, which is Spanish for Ring of Fire came out in 2003.

In 2004, the band released a live album, titled Live in Palencia - Spain. The band would also play Destruction Fest that year.{{cite web|url=http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/news/Destruction_Fest/12665/p1/|title=Destruction Fest|publisher=Cross Rhythms|date=June 12, 2004|accessdate=July 18, 2017}} A year later, Albino and Garzoli left the band. Garzoli and Batista also got divorced. After their departure, Wanderlinden Oliveira briefly took over drums while Maurício Cebalho took over guitars. Oliveira was then replaced by Juliana Batista, Carlos' wife. The band released two more split EPs in 2006, the first with Empty Grave, and the second being a five-way-split with Against Death, Implement, Soterion, and Spiritual Live. In 2009, the band released a third album, Satanichaos, before Cebalho left the band. The band would go on to play Destruction Fest once again, alongside bands such as Ashen Mortality, A Hill to Die Upon, and Solace the Day.{{cite web|url=http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/news/Destruction_Fest_09/37346/p1/|title=Destruction Fest '09: A Hill To Die Upon, Antidemon, Solace The Day for London Festival|publisher=Cross Rhythms|date=August 27, 2009|accessdate=July 18, 2017}}
