Here are answers to some questions that might puzzle the mind of a first time visitor of these pages:
Contrast is five-piece band from Vaasa, Finland.
Check out our line up here.
Well this is always the hard part - trying to explain ourselves
without categorizing ourselves too much. Basically our music
could be called metal but we mix all types of other music in
there as well. Other types of music include hip-hop, triphop,
pop etc. in other words anything that we feel like playing.
Well we tend to pack a lot of energy on stage which
mostly means sweat, aggression and maximum air-time.
No. We're not trying to sound like any other bands - although we
don't claim to be the most unique band in the world, either -
so no free ads here.
We try to keep from explaining things too much because it's always
best to figure things out yourself but let's say that one of the
main issues we handle is politics on a personal level i.e. what goes
on in people's head's, yours and mine. We also try to keep away from
writing songs about things we don't know anything about which is a
major problem with bands with political lyrics.
Yes. We have put out three demotapes and one MCD so far. First of the
demotapes we did
with our first vocalist and the other two with the new line up.
The MCD was the first recording to feature the new bassplayer
Nicke Hägen.

contact-page for futher info.

The first demo was called "Entertainment
for Men" and it was
released sometime late 1995. The two newer demos, released
respectively in summer 1996 and spring 1997, are called
"Long Live the Win"
and "Full Flavor",
neither of which is available
anymore. The MCD "Release"
was put out in early March 1998 and if you'd like a
copy of this record (35 FIM/7 USD), please
contact us.
We are also featured on
the Farewell to Arms compilation CD
by AKL. This CD came out late February 1999.
Stay tuned for the CST-website for info on a new release coming out
in May 1999.
