{"product_id":"contaminated-celebratory-beheading-mc-rare-used-vg","title":"Contaminated – Celebratory Beheading MC (Rare \/ Used, VG+)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCritical disgusting Melbourne death metal, second album released by Blood Harvest Records. White shell edition of this cassette tape release, ultra limited pressing of 50 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBack in 2017, Contaminated announced their arrival – loudly, sickly – onto the international death metal map with their debut album, *Final Man*. Graced with disturbingly detailed cover art, the Australians approximated the vivid visuals with ichor-dripping death metal of a most diseased \u0026amp; 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*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUpping 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*!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Contaminated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48541748494581,"sku":"708261020-RM-46","price":19.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/a2927306373_10.jpg?v=1786408911","url":"https:\/\/blacksound.com.au\/products\/contaminated-celebratory-beheading-mc-rare-used-vg","provider":"Blacksound Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
