New Jersey/Washington DC-based dismal death metal squad KONTUSION presents their merciless debut album, Insatiable Lust For Death, out this Friday on Profound Lore Records.
KONTUSION’s riffs, blasts, and walls of feedback reflect the darkness of a world marred by chaos, where large scale atrocities run amok. Drummer Chris Moore (Repulsion) and vocalist/guitarist Mark Bronzino (ex-Iron Reagan, Mammoth Grinder) represent the core of the band, with musicians emerging to fill out various lineups for live performances. With just a demo previously under their belt, KONTUSION has already toured throughout the East and West Coasts of the US, Midwest, and Texas, supported death thrash legends Deceased, and appeared at festivals such as Maryland Deathfest, and much more.
Now, KONTUSION arrives with the scathing, decimating, rapid-fire attack of their vile debut LP, Insatiable Lust For Death, its ten tracks immersing the listener in a cavernous, hellish tone, while the relentless riffs and percussion remain impeccably tight. Recorded by Chris Pierce at Volume IV Studios with additional tracking done at Damaged City Studios, Insatiable Lust For Death was mixed by Kevin Bernsten at Developing Nations, mastered by Nick Townsend at Townsend Mastering, and finished with artwork by Rotting Reign and layout by Aaren Molder.
Stream KONTUSION’s Insatiable Lust For Death in its engulfing entirety now on YouTube RIGHT HERE.
Insatiable Lust For Death will be released this Friday, July 25th on LP, CD, and digital platforms. Find preorders and merch where the “Subjugation” video is also streaming at THIS LOCATION.
KONTUSION just returned home from back-to-back tours – a West Coast US run surrounding Northwest Terror Fest followed by a EU/EU tour with Molder which culminated in a performance at Obscene Extreme Fest in Czech Republic. Expect additional tour dates to be issued shortly.
