To Perceive Is To Suffer by CONTRARIAN - CD - Rooted in early 90's progressive death metal, but with an unrelenting forward thinking approach, Contrarian return with their second full length album,'To Perceive Is To Suffer'! - Spearheaded by guitar player and tech death mastermind Jim Tasikas, alongside George Kollias (Nile) simultaneously handling drum and vocal duties, Contrarian is not a super group, but a unit of like-minded musicians that coincidentally converged on a vision of what a metal band should sound like. - Organic sounding, yet agressive and melodically complex, 'To Perceive Is To Suffer' is packed to the gills with Schuldinerian-style riffage and atmospheric variations that will provide a wholly enticing listen to all those willing to take in it's eccentricity.
