Early 2009 was specifically marked by studio-recordings of the new album which is called "The Essence of Anger". Produced in the BLAST IT! Studio of frontman Olli and mastered by Tim Buktu (International Noise Conspiracy, Massacra). Twelve tracks, tough-minded thrash metal grenades for their hungry fanatics allover the world arise to life and demonstrate that true thrash metal can only come from good ol' Germany! With the necessary combination of melody and concentrated cruelty it needn't to hide from nobody! In spite of the studio-sessions CONTRADICTION has not stopped to devastate clubs and festival stages allover Europe, like acclaimed shows on Malta, on Rockin' Transilvania Festival in Romania or some domestic festivals like the Hammerstein MetalFeast in Wuppertal or the Neuborn Open Air. CONTRADICTION are on the road without respite in the metal world. With "The Essence Of Anger".
