Kontact - 'Bloodchild' (Full Contact 2024)

On the horizon, a flash light.
A fallen object, a trace of life.
In perfect symmetry,
Mimic infinty.

Blood child. A sign of what will be.
Suicidal, we’re doomed to never see, to never see.

There is a tether inside the mind.
A lens unfettered can see through time.
Carved in chemistry,
Altered identity.

Blood child, a warning from afar.
Blind messiah descended from the stars.

We stand on the precipice
Above an ocean of consciousness:
A portal to the knowledge of all things,
We spread our cosmic wings.

This dimension is programmed to expire.
Mass extrinction, a baptism by fire.
One solution is locked inside our minds.
Evolution to beins of pure light.

Νέο συγκρότημα οι Kontact. Σχηματίσθηκαν στον Καναδά πρόπερσι και μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι: «Canadian Heavy Metal Music from Beyond». Το ντεμπούτο τους είναι ep ("First Contact") και κυκλοφόρησε πέρυσι. Ο πρώτος τους ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Full Contact" και αναμένεται στην αυγή του νέου έτους μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Dying Victims Productions...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Borne out of metal and bred for the purpose of learning, The Alien (ex-Blackrat) conceived of Kontact with then-bandmate Sven Nilson (Antichrist [Sweden], ex-Mystik).

A surrogate cult of memberz was necessitated by the great dying of 2020AD, during which The Alien was imprisoned in its home continent of “Canada,” where the group yet persistz.

Joined by Matt B1257+12Z (Traveler) and Morh Morf Xela (Hrom) on guitarz, as well as a yet-unidentified force “Unknown” (Chieftain) on drumz, Kontact began broadcasting obscure and ancient signalz throughout the underground, influenced by the mythic teachingz of Manilla Road, Accept, Master’s Hammer and otherz.

Now finally ready for transmission, Full Contact is Kontact’s primum opus, a compendium of stellar hymnz meant to hasten the arrival of the world beyond.

Bent backwardz yet strangely (or eerily) approachable, Full Contact inhabits a neon - hazed utopia/dystopia where sleaze metal fuses DNA with tech-thrash - where busyness and commerce collide in resplendent sci-fi dayglo.

“Weird” and “wild” are merely human wordz to describe Kontact’s highly idiosyncratic approach, but to them, such loaded terms exist in star-planes far, far from their orbit.

Rather, the eight clusters of crushing & collapsing tonez and robot/reptilian vocalz - in other words, eight “songs” - flow with a finesse that seems second nature; hookz are thus immediate, but not always easy.

Kontact make this metal for themselvez, and you listen. You might then take on a transformation: an astral vampire, an emperor of dreams, a bloodchild, a watcher at the edge of time, or simply one into heavy leather.

All is possible here, as infinite as the stained-glass synthz percolating across the album. Either way, you WILL feel the force of Full Contact head on... or head off!»
