Hey there punks&friends,

There is a new release out at CONTRASZT!

ALPINIST / FINISTERRE - SPLIT LP

ALPINIST, a young & promising band from Münster / Germany with their first vinyl output after their amazing demo-tape. They combine the heaviness of FALL OF EFRAFA with the catchiness of modern spanish neo-crust like MADAME GERMEN / EKKAIA. In my opinion one of the best bands in this genre coming from germany at the moment....

FINISTERRE from Cologne/Germany with six songs full of athmospherical & dark midtempo d-beat/HC. Catchy, melancholic melodies pair with brutal M/F  vocals.

...comes with a full-coloured 16-page booklet with all lyrics and english explanations.

"ASEDIO with people from EKKAIA, NASHGUL, BLACK PANDA, DAS PLAGUE ... etc... A mix of the old D-Beat with the Swedish styled Death Metal, epic open melodies that will give you creeps. Imagine a mix of DISCHARGE and AMON AMARTH."

Next up will be the split LP/CD between MASSMORD and SHADES OF GREY.
"Two intense hardcore crust bands from Stockholm, Sweden team up for a powerhouse new split album. MASSMORD have current/former members of such bands as DEUNGA, ARTICLE NINE, BEYOND PINK and VANING 5 and have previously released two albums and have eseblished a reputation for delivering high quality, down-tuned hardcore punk (they have been compared to "WOLFBRIGADE and TO WHAT END? mixed with some FROM ASHES RISE and KYLESA."). SHADES OF GREY share the other side of this split and are the perfect match, both musically and ideologically speaking. Having only previously released a demo, this will be the band's first large-scale release. Both bands have excellent recording production with an absolutely huge sound. Prepare to be blown away!" - Profane Existence

"Two of Sweden's most powerful bands team up to deliver 11 tracks of bulldozing crustcore.
MASSMORD have proven on their previous 2 LPs that they're a force to reckon with and on this split they lay down 6 even more powerful tracks than earlier and prove that they had no problem handling the transition from two to one singer.
SHADES OF GREY make their vinyl debut on here and the only question you ask yourself is why they haven't done so sooner? 5 heavy ragers with dual vocals.
A double dose of downtuned hardcore punk that's perfectly matched, both musically and ideologically. Both bands have excellent recording production with an absolutely huge sound.
Prepare to be blown away!" - Blindead Productions
