New York death metal newcomers Anti-Sapien are now revealing a pummeling live music video for the song “Repugnant Dysmedia,” which is taken from the band’s recent debut full-length, ‘Calculating Obsolescence.’ The clip can be found at THIS LOCATION.
Anti-Sapien vocalist and guitarist Blake Charlton comments, “Ending the year on a sincere and deliberate note, Anti-Sapien anticipates a hard pushing and productive year. Starting with a tour right out of the gate in January 2024, the band is past the halfway point in writing their sophomore release and eager to stage test some new riffs! Drawing in crowds with powerful riffs and spirited, socially conscious (albeit tongue in cheek humor at times) banter the band has already proven themselves to be an engaging live experience. Watch the video, crank it up, and come see Anti-Sapien live this January!”
‘Calculating Obsolescence’ was released on July 7, 2023 by Terminus Hate City Records and is available to purchase HERE.
The cover artwork for ‘Calculating Obsolescence’ was created by Jasper “Infested Art” Swerts and can be found below along with the tracklist!

From the gritty depths of Brooklyn, Anti-Sapien emerged out of the quarantine chaos with a desire to quench their thirst for crusty slam. Founded by Blake Charlton, Richard Aucecema, and Jeff Monge, the band quickly expanded to a quartet with axe man Nathan Rand. After a few lineup changes and relentless rehearsals, Anti-Sapien transitioned to a new era with the addition of drummer Alex Fewell. With Fewell’s brutal onslaught, the band recorded their 10-track debut full-length, “Calculating Obsolescence” in under six months. Recorded by Jamie Gazzero and mastered by Joel Grind (Toxic Holocaust), the album blends d-beaten, crusty death metal with punk and slam influences. Dean Rispler spun one of their demo tracks on his “Records of Ruin” show via Gimmeradio. In 2023 they signed to Terminus Hate City out of Atlanta, GA, and released their debut, “Calculating Obsolescence” on vinyl and digital. Massachusetts based boutique label, The Haul of Horror did a special release of cassette tapes as well. With such a heavy debut release, and more on the way, Anti-Sapien stands as a testament to Brooklyn and the East Coast’s new wave of old school death metal.
Anti-Sapien’s herniating debut LP, ‘Calculating Obsolescence,’ is a lesson in sonic putrification. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, Anti-Sapien vomit forth ten disgusting tracks of crushingly crusty death metal. ‘Calculating Obsolescence’ is a foul display of musical decomposition; barely resemblant of any instrumental skills whatsoever. The riffs are as ugly as the motherfuckers playing them. If that sounds right up your dark fucked up alley, then this album will appeal to fans of Magrudergrind, Fulci, and pioneers such as Napalm Death and Suffocation.
