Assembled on January 13th 2008 with the goal to play AMERICAN Black Metal. Tired of Westerners with no merit poorly imitating the brutal Scandinavian scene ANTIETAM stands by what we of our homeland identify with, wars our fathers fought and wars our brothers are fighting. We are the Sons of Southern Darkness.
LATEST NEWS AND REVIEWS
I just caught them at a show space in Baltimore last night, and they fucking KILLED. Imagine a seriously nasty mashup of Domination-era Morbid Angel, older Goatwhore, Dissection-styled melodies and cold, heartless mid-90's black metal; sound good? Sounds fucking GREAT if you ask me.

"Antietam 1862 are pure American black metal, and judging from the array of influences they've embroiled in their blackened offerings, have taken the melting pot mentality of our multihued homeland to heart as well. Do yourself a favor and check these guys out!"
