BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Australia’s CONTAMINATED, Celebratory Beheading, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Back in 2017, CONTAMINATED loudly and sickly announced their arrival onto the international Death Metal map with their debut album, Final Man. Ichor-dripping DEATH METAL of a most diseased & disgusting hue. At every angle and across every moment, Final Man spewed filth; song titles like “Mired in Shit,” “Boneless Mass,” and “Co-Opted Into Worthless Sludge” soundly proved that content met form.
In the past six years CONTAMINATED have only released two new songs, but now, finally, they return with a long-awaited second album, Celebratory Beheading. Upping the disgusting stakes yet again with its cover art, Celebratory Beheading literally explodes into being, blasting its filth fast and free before bringing in stomping-yet-angular breakdowns and a whole host of gut-churning intensity. In many ways, Celebratory Beheading’s clearly-framed cover mirrors CONTAMINATED’s sonic shift; whereas Final Man roamed within a malodorous murk, the Aussies’ second full-length sharpens their attack with frightening efficiency. Nevertheless, the latent sensations from that rancid debut remain – rippling disgust, bottomless decay, slipstreaming vomit – only that, now, they’re rendered in impossibly powerful tones. Rarely has a death-grinding record sounded this plausibly professional whilst retaining an authentically underground vibe.
Prepare to lose your head over CONTAMINATED’s Celebratory Beheading!
