It is a decade since the inception of homegrown metalcore heavyweights Antagonist A.D. For their fourth album Haunt Me As I Roam, the band have brought in the big guns with guest appearances from members of Comeback Kid, The Amity Affliction and Deez Nuts. If that wasn’t enough, the artwork was made by Converge and Deathwish Inc. founder Jacob Bannon.

Frontman Sam Crocker talks to Music 101's Zac Arnold about the band's longevity in the hardcore scene and reveals the challenges of growing up and performing material night after night, when the songs are almost too personal and too raw to sing out loud.
