04-14-08 - We found this review of our demo on the net the other night: 
Review: John Consterdine
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bloody hell! These were the first words that came to mind when I stuck Kontraku’s (pronounced “contra-coo”) demo into my CD player. Opening track “Break The Chains” mixes together dirty southern rock breakdowns with thrash riffs and vocalist Josh has a set of pipes like Corey Taylor, going from guttural screams to clean melodies in an instant. Sounding like a cross between Slipknot, KoRn, Slayer and Waking The Cadaver, Kontraku really have something amazing going on here.

”No Tomorrow” uses much cleaner vocals, in comparison to Corey Taylor the first track sounds like Slipknot whereas this is more like Stone Sour. This band really delivers an impact when you listen to them, its more like blunt force trauma than a simple listen.

Final track “Separate” has an almost Sepultura vibe to it, with some guttural Max Cavalera vocals (none of this cookie monster vocals rubbish) and an incessantly pounding guitar riff that drills into your skull and fills the hole with some meaty metal. Kontraku are something quite special, and with an album coming out later this year, I know I can’t wait to hear more of this lot!



10/20/07 - We have now started pre production on our first full lenght album which will be entitled "Break The Chains". So, over the next few weeks we will be rewoking our songs and begin the recording process!! We are very excited about this and will be working very hard to make this an awesome metal album!!

8/18/07 - We now have 2 shows under our belt with the current lineup. Everthing seems t obe positive as far as feedback. Thanx to all the bands we played with tonight @ Iliff Park Saloon. Next up for us is to continue to write more material and prepare for our September 8th show, where we will be debuting "Revolution".

7/23/07 - We have put the finishing touches on two new songs : "Prelude to Nothing" and "No Forgiveness" as well as revised and updated two pre-exsisting songs : "Revolution" and the other yet to be (re)named. We are planning to unleash three of them at our upcoming show on August 18th.

7/14/07 - We just settled into our new jamspace this week and have found it to be a much better atmosphere for us already (more room too). Also,we  have been working on new meterial and have a new song mostly done, just need to polish up a couple of transition areas. The new song is tentatively entitled "No Forgiveness".

7/8/07 -  We just played our first show with new vocalist Josh and the return of Jason on bass. All the feedback seems to be positve so far. We hope that it continues. Thanx to all for the feedback and all the bands we jammed with!!
