nate’s metal crypt Absolutely filthy, putrid, reeking, horrific death metal goodness from down under. Vomitous growls and nauseating guitar tone. Fantastic album cover too!

CHEF🇦🇲OYSTRHD This album reekssss…welcome to the reign of the Apex C.H.U.D. disgusted grinding grooves with some utterly devastating doomy passages. It’ll turn yer brain to bloody mashed potatoes. Favorite track: Junkyard Warfare: Celebratory Beheading.

about

BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Australia's CONTAMINATED, Celebratory Beheading, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Back in 2017, CONTAMINATED announced their arrival - loudly, sickly - onto the international death metal map with their debut album, Final Man, via BLOOD HARVEST. Graced with disturbingly detailed cover art, the Australians approximated the vivid visuals with ichor-dripping DEATH METAL of a most diseased & disgusting hue. At every angle and across every moment, Final Man spewed filth; song titles like "Mired in Shit," "Boneless Mass," and "Co-Opted Into Worthless Sludge" soundly proved that content met form. A couple years later, a split 7" with comrades KUTABARE followed, after which CONTAMINATED were quiet on the recording front. But alas, earlier this spring, a split 7" with long-running sludge-lords Fistula arrived.

Still, two songs in the past six years is criminal, but CONTAMINATED make up for that quietude with their long-awaited second album, Celebratory Beheading. Upping the disgusting stakes yet again with its cover art, Celebratory Beheading literally explodes into being, blasting its filth fast and free before bringing in stomping-yet-angular breakdowns and a whole host of gut-churning intensity. In many ways, Celebratory Beheading's clearly-framed cover mirrors CONTAMINATED's sonic shift; whereas Final Man roamed within a malodorous murk, the Aussies' second full-length sharpens their attack with frightening efficiency. Nevertheless, the latent sensations from that rancid debut remain - rippling disgust, bottomless decay, slipstreaming vomit - only that, now, they're rendered in impossibly powerful tones. Rarely has a deathgrinding record sounded this plausibly professional whilst retaining an authentically underground vibe.

Prepare to lose your head over CONTAMINATED's Celebratory Beheading!

I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise. zirtonic

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

Extremely inventive and multifaceted sci-fi prog death, just like iridescent ethereal world on the cover art. Best band's achievement up to date. And easily in 2023 AOTY list Dmitry Nevozhay

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
