Godagainst are a death metal band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2006 by guitarist José Luis González, playing technically demanding death metal with anti-religious lyrical themes. The band released "Supreme Khalkulus of Tribulation" (2011) and "Summoning Chaotic Annihilation" (2019) through Australis Records, with the latter further developing the band's dense, fast-paced approach honed over more than a decade on the Chilean extreme metal circuit.
