This band started to act at the beginning of July 1999. Founders of Antares were: guitarist Roman Wrobel and drummer Marcin Magiera. Two months later bass-guitarist Rafal Majchrowski joined to them.

It was hard at the outset - long-time troubles with finding vocalist caused this function was taken by Roman.Many various, less or more useful "musicians" (both vocalists and guitarists) took part in Antares in that period. But primary personnel is still the same and makes band's kernel.

In October 2000, Antares registered the first three-tracked demo in TUBA Studio. The professional release demo "Whip of Life" was presented in November, the same year. The first good reviews of demo turned up in zines, music magazines and broadcasts.

Band was taken under heavy-metal wings of Dragonight Agency. All of this was hard kick for guys, so they set about further intensive working on old and new songs, and looking for the vocalist and the second guitarist.
New vocalist - Jaroslaw Drag was received in March 2001. Then the band created new compositions, and enriched old ones with vocal-line. Roman concentrated mainly on playing on guitar, but he also sang in chorus.

In April, that year, the second guitarist Krzysztof Radomski enclosed to band, but co-operation was finished after four months. At the same time, Antares started to give the performances - first as a five-men staff, lately only as four-men. They appeared on stage of music-clubs, and motocycle-rallies (rally in Sobótka and international rally in Zdynia, when Antares gave concert before band of Marek Piekarczyk from TSA). The great success was supporting ACID DRINKERS and, received with enhusiasm by the public, supporting TURBO (on tour promoted their new material "Awatar").

Between 26-29 th. of September 2001, Antares recorded new, this time five-tracked, material in Studio Q. New vocalist Jarek taken up all of vocal-lines. That material was professionaly issued as mCD "Run Away", thanks to great financial share of Mr Karol Hostyñski and his firm HOSTAL.

Promotion of new material has lasted since the beginning of 2002. It has been presented on broadcasts in Poland and abroad as well (in Belgium, France, Greece); has been well reviewed in music magazines. Some distributions and so many fans of haevy-metal became interested in this release.
In the middle of February 2002, after almost half-yearly search, the second guitarist has became Aleksander Gawrylarz.

At present band keeps working on new songs, promoting the latest material and, in free time, gives performance in full five-men staff.

Shutting the door
Watch out to do it precisely
Shutting the door
Don't waste your time on wondering
If you don't close, don't close it also to others
You know you'll know you are shutting the door

Will manage to pierce your body
Intense brightness
Everybody, who it wasn't for
Will be satisfied as well

What you will manage
To make up yourself
