Legendary Punk Rockers ANTISECT Reissue Their Iconic Album’In Darkness, There Is No Choice’
Bobby Caughron 
The term ‘legendary’ is often overused, but in the case of ANTISECT, it’s entirely fitting. This band stands shoulder to shoulder with the giants of early 80s anti-establishment punk rock — Discharge, Flux of Pink Indians, Subhumans, Rudimentary Peni, and even Crass — in terms of their enduring influence.
Their debut album, ‘In Darkness, There Is No Choice,’ released in the politically charged year of 1984, is a masterful fusion of autonomous philosophy and hardcore thrash. Yet, it transcends these boundaries. While clearly influenced by the likes of Discharge, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, and Venom, ANTISECT crafted a unique atmospheric backdrop that set them apart from their contemporaries.
This ambitious work successfully balances hope and despair through sound and projection. ‘In Darkness, There Is No Choice‘ is more than just an album; it’s a sonic manifesto that has stood the test of time.
On October 4th, four decades after its initial release, this seminal work is finally receiving a fully authorized reissue, allowing a new generation to experience its raw power and enduring relevance.
