==-- THANKS FOR LISTENING --==
CONTRA was formed as an instrumental 3-piece by former SOFA KING KILLER guitarist, Chris Chiera, and ex-FISTULA drummer, Aaron Brittain.  After briefly playing together in another local outfit, they sought to start their own band and enlisted the aid of SO LONG ALBATROSS bassist, Adam Horwatt.  Except rather than just having a bassist, the band decided on a different approach and adopted a two guitarist format, albeit with Adam playing 4-string baritone guitar.

CONTRA quickly wrote and recorded the “Son of Beast” demo and began a steady schedule of playing to great acclaim locally.  However, CONTRA wanted to add another layer to their potent mix of metal, blues, rock, and sludge by asking vocalist Larry Brent to join their ranks.  Larry had previously contributed vocals to local hardcore stalwarts DON AUSTIN, THE UNHOLY THREE, and SPLINTER, in addition to the Laughing Hyenas-influenced HATCHET JOB.  After only three shows, Larry began recording vocals to eight of the ten tracks of what will be CONTRA’s debut album.

Unclean one is a grindcore project from Gothenburg (Göteborg), Sweden.

"It should sound like this!"
The history of our group began in 2005, in the city of Toropets, with the appearance of our first electric guitars and a completely random acquaintance with each other.
We just loved metal and everything connected with it, it was the times of cassettes, fights for long hair and musical preferences.
At that time, we only mastered various techniques of playing the guitar and dreamed of cool equipment and universal recognition.
Listening to such teams as: Kreator, Soilwork, In flames, King diamond, Aria, Pantera, Megadeath, we puzzled over how they all play it, and how it all sounds cool,
but, we never wanted to imitate them or play something like that, we wanted to come up with our own style and direction in this huge musical variety.
 We took guitars and for many hours a day invented all sorts of reefs, transitions and all that is possible, if only it was difficult and unusual.
Our whole youth passed in an effort to create something of its own, something unusual.
During this period, hundreds of reefs and various topics were invented, which we already tried to record on tape recorders and the cheapest computer microphones,
A few years later and gradually moving to Moscow, we again took up the old, but completely different level of knowledge, the technique of the game and high-quality equipment. ... there were new guitars, cabinets, pedals, etc. ...
And so, on the eve of the new 2013, we again started writing a full-length material for our album, which we planned to release as early as the beginning of 2014, however, even then, we had no idea that it would take us much more time and energy. ...
And so, after years, we tried day by day to give music and rehearsals the lion's share of our time.
The most difficult stage, oddly enough, was the writing of the material itself.
Every time we threw out the reefs, which seemed to us not steep enough.
We told ourselves that while we ourselves will not be "rocked" from these reefs, we will never use them in our music.
We caught the very same feeling ... a shiver of reefs that can not be confused with anything else (musicians and music lovers will understand)
And, like that, day after day, overcoming domestic and other difficulties, we tried not to lose heart and went to the intended goal.
The second difficult stage in creating the album was mixing the recorded material.
It's difficult!
We clearly understood how all this should sound, but to achieve this was not an easy task!
And, again, we were guided by the principle of "inner sensations" from the sound of music.
It should sound like this!
... only by the end of 2017 we are ready to present to you what we got. Anyway - we like it, and, we are ready to show you what we got.
P.S. I would like to pay special attention to our relatives and friends who have always supported us and believed in us! Thank you!!!

I've been making music since I could remember, from looping an old school keyboard I got as a gift to tapping out patterns in a DAW. 
I'm passionate about music, and that passion is wild! 
From the genres I enjoy creating to the ideas that I want to share, they will always come from a place of Inpiration and love.
