KONTUSION
Raw death metal punk onslaught from New Jersey and Washington D.C. formed around 2021 by drummer Chris Moore (Repulsion, Coke Bust) and vocalist, guitarist and bassist Mark Bronzino (ANS, Mammoth Grinder). Moore and Bronzino formed Kontusion after years of being friends, throughout which the two would jam on riffs while staying at each other's places during stops on various respective tours. Finally around 2021, the duo had the time and energy to start a new band and bring to life years of ideas and interactions shared as friends and as mutual fans of bands like Terrorizer, Napalm Death, Discharge, and Convulse. The idea for Kontusion’s self-tiled 2022 demo (reissued in 2023 by Sentient Ruin) was inspired by the 80’s and 90’s demo tapes and early recordings of legendary death metal bands from that era and their raw, lo-fi sound and minimalist visuals.
