Borne out of metal and bred for the purpose of learning,
The Alien (ex-Blackrat) conceived of KONTACT with
then-bandmate Sven Nilson (Antichrist ,
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!
