Escaping Depravity

#NewProfilePic time for a new metalhead profile picture 😆

[CONTRARIAN @contrarianband]

12,000+ notes. 100+ instrumental layers. 50+ song sections. 30 minutes of continuous music. 2 synthesisers. 1 awesome progressive death metal album! Jon finished the synth parts for Contrarian's new release, 'Escaping Depravity'.

“It's been quite the adventure down the rabbit hole of sound synthesis, channeling sci-fi vibes through a transcendental, psychedelic lens. I enjoyed challenging myself to be creative with limited resources, conjuring up all the sounds used with software emulations of just 2 Roland synthesisers from the 80s.The album goes into the final stages of production in the coming weeks, so I look forward to sharing it with you all in 2026. In the meantime, you can hear my portfolio of international orchestral metal collaborations at https://t.co/FyCD3GAvP5 “

337 - Sage Of Shekhinah (Contrarian, 2023)

Death metal técnico que por momentos cae en clichés del género, pero por otros momentos se siente genuinamente único. Si pudiera trabajar más sobre estos momentos, sería un disco más sólido.

Our eclectic front man Jakob Sin is killing it. New vocal tracks sound amazing.

[CONTRARIAN @contrarianband]

Over a decade of decadence making music with this guy! Happy Birthday George!
