FROM WILLOWTIP RECORDS:



Contrarian announce new album details/ premiere new track!
Progressive Death Metal vanguards CONTRARIAN have completed their second full length titled 'To Perceive Is To Suffer'.
Spearheaded by guitar player and tech death mastermind Jim Tasikas, alongside George Kollias (NILE) simultaneously handling drum and vocal duties, CONTRARIAN is not a super group, but a unit of like-minded musicians that coincidentally converged on a vision of what a metal band should sound like. With their latest output ’ To Perceive Is To Suffer', Contrarian have refined their forward-thinking approach, and have crafted a release that is organic sounding, yet aggressive and melodically complex.
"The writing process and production of Contrarian's 'To Perceive Is to Suffer' was a complicated and detailed process to say the least! With regards to compositions and arrangements while being a bunch of Generation X metal heads, we wanted to ensure that the music reflected our natural linear memory of metal riffs over the past four decades! In other words, we wanted the riffs to be authentic and original! We even collaborated to ensure that the production would sound as organic as possible. This collaboration took place in four different studio locations and in two countries! We also felt that the production needed to be turned upside down on its head. We took a more rounded out, analog and vintage approach to the final mix. We hope that the end result will leave all metal listeners excited and enthusiastic!” comments guitar player Jim Tasikas.
“To Perceive Is To Suffer” will be available on July 28, 2017 via Willowtip
