Anton has been suffering from a repetitive strain injury in his shoulder since October 2010. Unfortunately it has been becoming steadily worse with time and drumming seems to aggravate it more.
With the future of Architecture of Aggression in mind and with full support, the band has decided to give Anton the necessary time off he needs to recovery fully from his injury.

Anton is a vital member of Architecture of Aggression and thus the band is unable to perform without him.This will be the longest break in the history of Architecture of Aggression’s sixteen year existence.

Thank you for understanding and rest assured that Architecture of Aggression will be back as soon as possible to deliver their hard hitting controversial technical Death metal to a stage near you!

Affirmative Re-Action

Long standing Bassist(7 years), contributor and all round crazy guy William “the Tempest” Bishop; and Manager Genevieve Watkins have decided with heavy hearts to part ways with A.O.A.

“It is with great sadness that I submit my resignation as the bassist for A.O.A”
William cited his need for more time to work on his Solo project(G.O.D) and that his heart was no longer in Death Metal the way it used to be, as his reasons for leaving.

William joined A.O.A in 2003 and added a lot of extra flair and insanity to the extreme sounds of  A.O.A.
Known for his crazy antics on- and off-stage, excellent musicianship and genuinely friendly nature, he was very influential in raising the standard for bassists in the South African underground scene.
He featured on two Albums; “Democracy: Consent to domination” and “Acts of God: 4000 years of Phallusy”(for which he helped do all the click tracks, pre production, recorded some of the interludes at his “Isandlwana” home studio, wrote a couple of the songs and helped put it all together). He also organised and arranged many shows during his 7 years with the band.

Genevieve was an integral part of A.O.A over the last 2 years and helped us become an even more well oiled and efficient killing machine. She helped create order from the chaos of our lives and helped put together many prominent shows and tours.
She is also heading for a change in direction and fulfilling her other dreams

It is the end of an era and William & Gen will be sorely missed but we support them in all their future endeavours and wish them well.

As a sending off, Friday the 25th of February @ The Factory(Centurion), will be William’s final gig with the band, so come out and show your respect and appreciation one last time and make it a night to remember!

-Anton “Belial” Alberts

16 years ago in a Pretoria suburban garage, the three miscreant school children Van & Anton Alberts and Brian Liebenberg got together and formed the fledgling idea, hoping but never knowing that it would stand the test of time.

Unfortunately line up changes were inevitable through the years.We added a vocalist (Gareth Den) and parted ways again, decided to do the vocals ourselves, We let Brian go, played as a two man band for approximately two years, added bassist Nardus de Lange(on loan from Shadow lord at that time), parted ways after a while and instated William “the Tempest” Bishop on bass duty.

Now an untold number of gigs, a 2 ½ year stint in the UK, quite a number of national tours, spreading the word to such exotic locations as Namibia and Botswana, organising and hosting the controversial Rock Against Religion, playing with such renowned bands as The Entombed and Carcass, destroying the stage at Oppikoppi 4 times in the last 5 years, releasing an Ep.(Manifest Destiny) and two full length albums(Democracy: Consent to Domination & Acts of God: 4000 years of Phallusy), printing the legendary and hyper controversial God Kill shirts(Fuck your Church, Burn your God), torn ligaments, a broken leg, stitches, burns and stolen equipment we are going stronger than ever.

This is our dream and we are living it.

Happy 16^th birthday to The Death Metal Juggernaut that is AoA and eternal thanks to you, our fans that have driven us and supported us through it all and helped us to push not only our boundaries, but the boundaries of the moral majority of this country!

Hailing from Argentina, they travelled to our shores and graced us with the most Raw, Intensely Evil brand of Old School Blackened-Death Metal to be found anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere!

Extremely proud connoisseurs and purveyors of Metal as it used to be, think early Sepultura(Morbid Visions/Bestial Devastation), Slayer(Show No Mercy) and a bevy of other extreme underground bands circa early 80′s.

So dedicated are these two to that sound, that they performed live with effects on the vocals to give them that true vintage metal sound(with monstrous reverb, sounding like they eminated from a cathedral trapped in the bowels of Hell) and banning from stage such fancy modern gimmickry such as bass drum triggers. True, raw sound is their trademark.

They destroyed the stage with their intensely angry underground fury, doing a scathing rendition of Sepultura’s “Anti-christ” , keeping it short, sweet and very brutal! The South African crowd was turned into a mob of rabid dogs!

We were the last stop on their gruelling three month 3^rd world tour, including such exotic locations such as Sri-Lanka and Bangladesh and left a good impression. There’s already talk of a follow-up tour including our neighbouring countries, Botswana and Namibia. If you missed out on this vintage experience make sure to catch them next time!

Our most esteemed thanks to: Gen Watkins Manager extraordinaire, The Black Dahlia, The Wolmer events arena( Special thanks to the Van der Walt’s for hosting the event and making it so special), All Forlorn, Architecture of Aggression, Bile of Man, Death By Ninja, Haggis and Bong, Necromantion, Tranquil And of course the reason this all happened: INFERNAL CURSE!
