The band has remained active in the Buenos Aires underground scene and continued releasing material on streaming platforms.
Innsbruck's Antipath fuse groove metal's mid-paced rhythmic punch with progressive arrangements and thrash metal aggression, producing music that shifts between churning riff cycles and more elaborately structured passages.
