MORE HATE PRODUCTIONS RUSSIAN UNDEGROUND METAL LABEL

The debut full –length album by the Ukrainian band Contaminated consists of 12 slabs of freshly sliced and expertly stuffed brutal death metal meat of choice. The style of the band was influenced by North American and European old school death/ grind metal of the 90’s enriched with the elements of melodic death/ thrash metal and, at times, even with the fragments close to doom metal. These insertions to the powerful and solid brutal death metal framework here and there turning into quite pacey death/ grind do not diminish brutality, speed and ultimatism of the music but add some grace and atmosphere keeping the band up-to-date balancing between brutality and melody. The work by Contaminated will be of interest both for the desperate fans of brutal knifing and for the adepts of a more progressive death metal sound.
